A very interesting and informative city tour that gave us a good overview - I can only recommend it!
David was very knowledgeable, humorous, perfect English, good loud voice! And we covered a lot! Highly recommend.
David treated us to an informative, knowledgable and interesting walking guided tour of Ljubljana. Loved his tell it as it is approach, which meant it was very engaging. Fabulous tour and guide. Thank you
David will be so thrilled to hear this! His refreshing, "tell it as it is" approach really brings Ljubljana's story to life in such an engaging way. We're delighted you enjoyed his deep knowledge and candid style on the walk. Thank you so much for the glowing review, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Our guide was excellent, shared so much background history as we went on our walk. We stopped fairly often to listen to the history, insights into the culture, famous Slovenians, influences on the development of the country. If you like these kinds of information, then this tour is for you. If you're looking for a tour that's mostly walking around, you may feel that you're not moving as much as you anticipated. It's really what you're looking for. My group enjoyed all the information and when we explored the city ourselves after the tour, we could remember what we learned. It gave us a deeper appreciation of the city.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It is the ultimate compliment to hear that what you learned on the tour made your independent city exploration even richer. We appreciate you highlighting our information-focused pacing for future travelers. We are delighted your group had such a meaningful experience with us!
Nice tour of the city with a friendly guide. Probably a bit too dry for me to start with (prefer a bit of humour to get the group going) but overall it was decent enough
Thank you for your honest feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the city tour and found our guide friendly. We totally hear you on the icebreakers—a little humor goes a long way in getting a group energized! We’ll pass this note along to our team to help add a bit more spark and fun to the introductions. Thank you for joining us, and safe travels!

She really loves her city, and her love of her city and Slovenia in general is infectious and made me appreciate the city and the country even more. Full of insightful tips and stories while keeping the tour moving and interesting.
We love hearing this! Maja’s passion for her city and country is exactly what makes her tours so memorable, and we're so glad her stories and tips resonated with you. Thank you for sharing such kind feedback and for letting us be a part of your journey through Slovenia.

Interesting tour. Odd that visit to castle not included
Thank you for the review. We intentionally keep the castle admission separate so travelers have the freedom to customize their afternoon—whether that's touring the fortress, taking a boat ride, or relaxing by the water. We appreciate your perspective and hope you enjoyed the rest of your day!
Our tour guide, David, did a wonderful job. He gave us an insight into the city and the country in a very amusing and entertaining way. I could have happily listened to him for another two hours.
