Hey! I’m Matevž, born in Bled, raised by the lake, and still completely in love with this place.
I know every shortcut, every hidden viewpoint, every legend our grandparents told us, and all the local secrets that make Bled special.
I travel a lot myself, so I know exactly what makes a great tour: fun stories, cultural insights, practical tips, and a relaxed vibe. That’s what I try to give on every walk.
Whether you’re here for photos, history, nature or just the Kremšnita cake… I got you.
Let me show you Bled through the eyes of a local!

Tour description
Welcome to Bled!
This free tour is the perfect way to discover Slovenia’s most iconic lake through the eyes of a local guide, born and raised right here. In just 90 minutes you’ll experience the best viewpoints, hear the famous island and castle legends, learn about the area’s history, and get insider tips that will make the rest of your visit unforgettable.
As someone born and raised in Bled, I know every corner of this lake, from the famous viewpoints to the quiet hidden spots where locals escape the crowds. I’ll show you the best angles for photos, explain the legends behind the island and castle, and share tips only a real local knows: where to find the best kremšnita, which cafés locals actually go to, the nicest sunset spots, and which restaurants are worth it (and which aren’t).
This tour is the perfect mix of scenery, culture, history and insider recommendations that will help you enjoy Bled like someone who lives here.
