Our friendly tour guide Natascha showed us the most important sights of Ljubljana. We learned a lot about the history of the beautiful capital of Slovenia from her. Natascha always answered our questions very kindly. There were 6 of us, and everyone was very satisfied with the city tour. We would book a city tour through Viator again at any time.

Nice visit to the old town of Ljubljana. The guide was clear, passionate and very well structured in her explanations. She knows the history of the city perfectly well, but above all, she knows how to bring it to life. The rhythm was good, the anecdotes well chosen and the answers to our questions always precise. A very good way to discover Ljubljana intelligently and efficiently. I recommend without hesitation.
