My husband and I are going on the June 15 Central Europe 15 Day Tour this summer. We’re planning on leaving for Venice when it ends and stay for a couple of days before we head home. I’m wondering if we should be figuring out transportation from Bled to Venice in advance or whether we will be OK figuring this out last minute.

We took this tour in 2023 and flew home from Venice. We used the shared Go Opti Shuttle. We booked ahead and everything went smoothly, and it was affordable. I think it was about a three hour drive (not as easy as hailing a taxi or similar), so it’s not something I’d leave to chance at the last minute, but to each their own.
It was my impression that the earlier you book GoOpti, the better the price, but I’m not certain of that. I also seem to remember that there may be a bus or train option, but the shuttle was the best idea for us (we were headed to the airport).
Our tour guide was helping people with departure day transport to the Ljubljana airport or the train station, but getting to Venice at the last minute could be a big ask.
It was a great tour, hope you enjoy it!

The Go Opti shuttles did fill up when we used them, so book early. They are very professional and the drivers have excellent English.
Also, do not book an early flight out of Venice; it's difficult to get to the Venice airport for an early morning flight.
Have a great trip!

You are leaving in June, this is March, not sure why you would want to wait?
One option is DayTip.com. They have some really great stops in route too. I was going to say "not cheap at about USD475" but thats less than $250 a person for a couple which compared to the $12000 ($6000 per person) for the couple to do the RS tour + air fare ... its chump change; and well worth it. Ive used them a few times and its hard to get on a bus or a train after you have had a driver.
