Can you imagine visiting New York and not walking through Central Park? Well, it is like this in Ljubljana. You have not truly seen Ljubljana without a nice, pleasant walk through park Tivoli. We will do that! On our stroll below the mighty chestnuts trees in Tivoli park we will talk about the interesting things about Slovenia, Ljubljana, and Tivoli. We will see 2 mentions, a pond, a rose garden, many sculptures, hidden art and more. We might talk about a lynx couple that escaped the ZOO and a bear that lived at Rožnik for a while. But on our walk I promise there won't be any bears! Possibly a squirrel or two.

This tour is definitely different for many reasons: - it is run by locals and locals only. We are not only licensed tour guides but have also lived in Ljubljana for decades and know the city like our own pocket. - most of the guides have high formal education, and are glad to explain more also about economy, art, politics, contemporary social issues and how people of Slovenia live today. - the tour is a private tour. Which means we dedicate our time and knowledge to you and to you only. It also means you do not have to share the attention and squeeze with 30 other tourists, which often happens at "free" or other non-private tours. - we are aware of negative impacts of tourism on local environment. We will always present you locally made products and not products of multinational companies and will introduce you to sustainable tourism practices in Ljubljana. - the tour can be customized. - we will not bore you with numbers and years of every laid brick. The tour is also fun :).
