What to do and see in Bled, Upper Carniola Region: The Best Multi-day Tours

August 8, 2021 Sheron Bogner

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 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.

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.

So exhilarating! I am almost 62 & had never done any rock climbing at all. I felt complete confidence in my superb guide, Matevz, & the strict safety measures he had in place This allowed me to turn my fear into adrenaline and that gave me super strength! I made it up the via ferrata! Thanks Mat, for that memorable experience. What a great memory

First of all, a great personality of the tour guide makes it all so much nicer and easier! We’ve rented some e-mountain bikes and one really good full suspension bike. The destination was Planina Šija and the cottage up there, where you can get stunning views and good home made food. Nothing beats the mountains with friends.

We enjoyed the hidden secrets of Ljubljana tour with Primoz. He guided us to a number of hidden gems that we would not have noticed had we toured on our own. He is very knowledgeable about the city and was prepared with print material to better describe and explain certain aspects of the city, which was really helpful. His manner throughout our 2 hour tour was pleasant, considerate and full of fun and interesting facts. The time just flew. Especially appreciated, was the spectacular sunset that he orchestrated for our pleasure at the end of the tour on Butcher's Bridge ( with all the lover's locks ). Great way to end a very nice tour!! Thank you!!
