Absolutely loved our tour with Maja! She was so wonderful and knowledgeable and very nice. Especially on a day where it was quite warm. 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.

Interesting tour. Odd that visit to castle not included
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.
We had a lovely tour of Ljubljana. Experienced a taste of the local history and some good reference material that helped the history come alive. We had a large group and our guide did a great job of keeping us together and on time. Very highly recommended!
Very informative and fun tour. Interesting to hear about the guide’s personal experience growing up in the area before and after Slovenia’s independence. Tour was well paced, and just the right amount of time. Highly recommend.
Learned a lot about the Ljubljana and Slovenian history. Tour guide was very classy and articulate. Loved that Slovenia had so many influences from other nations.
We booked our trip with Viator who charges us £57 pounds for four of us. However, when we arrived for our tour we were told the the tour was free. The tour was great but I am really annoyed with Viator who charged us for a free tour of the city. I would recommenr that no one should book this tour with Viator when you can get it for free. I will never use Viator again.
Our guide was excellent! She gave us lots of information, not only about the places we were going to visit, but also about Ljubljana and Slovenia. She was very friendly and approachable. I would highly recommend taking a tour with her!
Knowledgeable guide, didn't skimp timewise
