“Recommend!”

Bojana is an excellent guide. Not only did she show us the most famous local landmarks and talk about historical figures, but she also answered our questions and shared details about the daily life and traditions of Ljubljana’s residents. She even included a short Slovenian language lesson in the tour, along with tips on what to taste and where to buy some local treats.

“Great walking tour of Ljubjana”

This is a very well organized tour. I was initially booked with another guide for 10 AM but I was the only one booked and it was pouring rain so I got a message saying that I could join a 12:30 group with Matteo which I did. It was a two hour walking tour with excellent information regarding Slovenia itself, the city, and the people plus everything that we saw along the way. I had been in the city a few days and had walked it myself so I appreciated getting all of the background information of what I had seen. Also, Matteo was very willing to answer any questions and give suggestions on pretty much anything in the city. I think you miss out if you don't do a walking tour in any city in which you've spent a few days. My experience with people who book these tours is that there is a fraction of people who did not have the courtesy to cancel. Remember, even though it's a free walking tour, people are standing around waiting for you to show up and the guide is their expecting you! At least be courteous and cancel. I highly recommend this tour.

“Ljubljana Tour ”

The tour was very good but too many people, I felt on a couple of occasions that we were in the way in the streets of the old area and a couple of locals got annoyed. The guide was great, Artur super friendly and explained everything very well and very enjoyable.
