The trip was amazing. The driver was very careful, helpful and gave us lots of information during the trip about the history of Croatia so that we can understand the country and Croatian culture. While in Slovenia we had a guided tour of Ljubljana. The guide was excellent and also helped us choose where to eat traditionally according to our taste. Finally the trip to Lake Bled was magical. I totally recommend the whole experience.

He was patient and was attentive to everyone! I also like our walking guide in Ljubljana who was equally knowledgeable and kept the tour interesting. Highly recommend this company.
