Excellent trip. Very detailed.
Reviewed by David D, United Kingdom, December 2009
The highlight of this trip was certainly the trip to see the horse show at Lipica, although you pay extra! The Karst region is a big contrast to Bled and the local guide made the trip very interesting with a chance to look at how the region has developed with a visit to a preserved old village. As this is the home of a very famous horse breed then if you like horses it is a must.
