So my friend and I were very fortunate to be the only 2 people on a full day tour to Lake Bled and Ljubljana from Trieste. Peter picked us up at our Airbnb right on schedule - he was so warm and friendly and had water waiting for us in the van. Additionally he asked if we needed coffee and he made a stop for us. The ride was filled with the history of Slovenia and Istria-Peninsula. I learned about the great leader TITO and about the many hands that Croatia, Slovenia, and Trieste were part of. Peter was perfect in every aspect - his historical background and enthusiasm made the experience 100x better than what we had expected. Both places are gorgeous. You get ample time in both areas and easy pickup when you are ready. Peter took us to an authentic Slovenian restaurant where we learned the proper table manners when "cheering" with someone from Slovenia. The whole trip was honestly amazing and I wish Peter could be my tour guide for all other things!
