Tour Details

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 :).

Ljubljana is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, but still a bit of a secret. See the Slovenian landmarks on foot and learn everything there is to know from your local guide; from who did what on its many bridges, to why the city's statues seem to be doing strange things with their hands. Check out colorful Art Nouveau buildings, step foot in medieval squares, sample local flavors along the way, and get a return funicular ride to the 900-year-old Ljubljana Castle on the hill.
