With its iconic fairy-tale church steeple perched atop the tiny rock island at the middle of Lake Bled, Bled is a sight that stays in your memory. The town has also long been a destination for those seeking relaxation, through its sunny alpine air and thermal springs, which are especially welcoming after a day of mountain trekking, golf or touring on horseback.

We hired Adam at the last second to take us to Plivitce lakes for the day. He was super flexible with timing given that we booked the tour the night before at 11 pm. Adam was a great conversationalist and we enjoyed learning about his experiences during our 2 hour drive to the lakes. He was helpful in showing us around and gave great local suggestions of places to try in Zagreb.

My fiancé and I had such a good time with Jakov!! His knowledge of Croatian history and the surrounding countries was unbelievable, and he weaved in interesting stories and little facts as we strolled along in Samobor or drove through the beautiful vineyards. There was never a moment that wasn’t fun! He has such a great sense of humor and his passion for leading tour guides is wonderful. It’s clear he has so much experience as a tour guide and really is so great at what he does. We felt like we could’ve been old friends with him by the end of the day, and we’re so glad we had this opportunity. It was definitely the highlight of our stay in Zagreb!!

We completed the Julian Alps traverse in September 2020. The support we received from Life Adventures was excellent prior to and during our hike. The communication with us was always good which was particularly important due to changes forced upon us by COVID-19 issues. We loved the hike itself and tremendously enjoyed the challenges we faced in what is a different but serious hiking environment. There are great views to every day. This hike is for experienced hikers with a good level of fitness, who enjoy remaining in the mountains every day and the pleasure taken in the such views.

A really overpriced expirience. The amount of cayacking is minimal, in the 1 hour, you can make 3 turns through the same tunells and a cave, of course you go half the time backwards, because of all the dead ends.

There is no correct words or frases to describe satisfaction of traveling with Permansio. We did transfer from Zagreb, Croatia to UK. All the way, our driver Max attended to all our needs and wishes in very friendly manner, and the owner agreed no questions asked on every single itinerary changes for us to reach our destination safely. I highly recommend Permansio because if You need to get to any destination in the World these guys will take You there at any cost and through any barrier. I am happy that I finally found a company that I can trust and relay for any transfer that I need. Thank You guys from heart.
