“We really enjoyed this whole day tour with our tour guide Klemen. He was very friendly and tried to engage all the people in the group. He had excellent communication skills and was knowledgeable about the places and kept telling us about the history of each of the place as we crossed them. We visited Bled in the morning and Caves in the afternoon. Though it was quite busy in the afternoon our guide made sure we reach the places as quick as possible.
