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 :).

Peter was outstanding! He personalized the tour based upon our requests. In addition, he went above and beyond to ensure we got the most out of the tour.

We shared a couple of wonderful, if soggy, hours with our guide who blended a history lesson into this landmarks tour. Taking us from the time Ljubljana was a small fortification through to liberation from Yugoslavia our interest in the stories shared by our guide never waned. This city has amazing scenery and stories that are worth the visit and this tour helps you to discover them.
