Had so much fun on our trip, could not recommend enough. Truly felt as though we were able to experience Slovenia in the short amount of time there. The one con is that GetYourGuide overcharged us for our trip. I did not look into this until after, but if you book directly on KoperTrips, the company they used, it is only 95 euros as opposed to 113 euros on GetYourGuide. In the end, we paid about 40 euros more (for two people) through GetYourGuide. Also, it was difficult when communicating about the trip as when a question arose GetYourGuide had to contact KoperTrips, as opposed to booking with KoperTrips and communicating with them directly. If I were to do it again, I would not have purchased through GetYourGuide. I have used GetYourGuide for multiple excursions and the price is usually the same and if anything maybe a couple dollars more, however, I randomly started searching for other trips KoperTrips has to offer and saw the price difference. Very bummed to say the least!

Incredible tour! Natasha was a phenomenal guide and provided so much fascinating history about Slovenia and the locations we went. I wish we had a little more time in Lake Bled, but overall the day was perfectly paced!

The ride lovely although long. The lake is beautiful Just wished had more time there. Ljubljana is a lovely village I loved it The driver was welcoming and a good guide

Although the riddles could be a bit more challenging, we still had an awesome time and we enjoyed this funny way to explore the city.
