Amazing city! Mr. Miloš Aničič, my guide, was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
It was a great way to get my bearings in Ljubljana, and my guide Alenka was fantastic too! She was very knowledgeable and accommodating to my requests. Loved that we walked through the local market and also bought some local cheese and snacks!
This tour was perfect. Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable about the town and the history. It is a beautiful and charming town and we thoroughly enjoyed being about to see so much of it with information and background about everything we saw. She also provided suggestions about shops and restaurants as we went along. It was thoroughly enjoyable!
Excellent historical knowledge from our guide, along with good insights into modern day Ljubljana. Additional insights into good food options and reservations was an added bonus!
Our tour guide was excellent, really knew her stats and was very pleasant. Thoroughly enjoyed our tour, the 3d experience at the end in castle was great
Great way to get introduced to the city . Our guide was wonderful! A must do experience for the new visitor
Our guide was greatest asset. She walked us through the city and gave full details from culture as well as historic perspective. We liked the two hour walking tour very much.
Great tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and did a great job of showing us around. Good pace, nice walk through the old town.
We loved the entire tour. Having never been to Ljubljana before we felt Alinka gave an excellent overview of the city. She covered history, current and food. Also gave us lots of ideas of what other things we could do on our own. This was an excellent tour and Alinka was awesome. Her knowledge of and passion for Ljubljana was evident from start to finish. Thank you Alinka for giving us such a great experience
Milo is a knowledgeable and entertaining guide who picked us up at our hotel and gave us a informative tour of the city and spent time with us at the castle
Our tour guide, Alenka, met us at our hotel as we were the only participants for that morning's tour. As we walked around the city, Alenka shared stories about the city and its history, made recommendations about places to go and to eat. We did this tour on our first full day in Ljubljana which helped our planning for the rest of our time in the city. The day after our tour I had a question about one of the restaurants Alenka recommended. I emailed her and she replied fairly quickly. I appreciate the hospitality she showed.
The walking tour was ideal way of getting your bearings around the city. Alenka was very friendly, knowledgeable and happy to answer questions as we went along - luckily for us, we were the only ones on this particular tour. A good pace to the tour covering history, locations and recommendations for subsequent days. Thoroughly enjoyable couple hours. Highly recommended. Thanks Alenka.
The walking City Tour was awesome !! Definitely a must do tour, if you are new to the city. Thank You Alenka.
Great explanation of the history of the city and have a short walk. Views from the castle were great
We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Milos. He is an excellent guide who certainly knows his city well. We wandered all over Ljubljana and heard all the history of this beautiful city, including some good tips for nice restaurants to try while we are here. Our tour ended after the funicular ride up to the castle and the tour around the castle. This really is a good tour and we are so glad we did did. I highly recommend it.
Milos was an ace guide. We appreciated it so much that you didn’t cancel because we were the only participants. We will return to Ljubljana Milos was informative, enthusiastic and answered loads of questions
We thoroughly enjoyed our Ljubljana City Tour with Mr. Milo! Not only was Milo engaging and good-humored, he was also very knowledgeable of the history and information pertaining to the city. In addition to learning about the city's highlights, Milo shared additional recommendations from restaurants to shops to markets to even gelato! We were able to get a few free samples of sea salts & chocolate and blueberry liquor! It was a very enjoyable morning and culminated at the castle where we continued to learn about the history of this wonderful city! I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wishing to see and learn about Ljubljana!
Alenka was knowledgeable, genuine and all around a wonderful tour guide! This tour is definitely worth the time and the money. The amount of sites we were able to see helped us get a better understanding of Ljubljana’s history and culture. It was well done!
Alamak was informative and incredibly kind to our needs. She brought us through the route and provided extra information especially on where to eat.
We would highly recommend this tour of this beautiful city. Our guide Milos was so knowledgeable, personable and most of all his enthusiasm and love of his city was absolutely contagious. Also kudos to the coordinator, Alenka, who was over the top helpful with restaurant recommendations and so many links and helpful suggestions. A professional operation from beginning to end.
Milos was so knowledgeable, so kind and so much fun! I thoroughly enjoyed everything about my city tour with Milos. I got a great introduction to the history and culture of Ljubljana as well as practical tips for the rest of my time in this lovely town.
Milos was a great guide. Very informative and friendly. Learned a lot of Slovenian history. He was upbeat and energetic.
Ljubljana is a small but unique city. Beautiful architecture, little shops and nice restaurants are some of the things that I enjoyed. Nice people and good service everywhere.
Impressive tour of the city. Alenka was such a fantastic guide, so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
Our personal guide Milos was extremely knowledgeable about the city. Very nice leisurely walk. Beautiful buildings, clean streets, lot’s of restaurants, shops and very friendly people made this visit one of the best travel destination.
I like learning the history of the city and why things were built like they are. Our guide had all this knowledge about the city and castle. Even though we had rough weather that diminished the views, I really enjoyed the tour!
Milos arrived umbrella and smile in hand to take me on a wonderful tour of the city in the pouring rain. I appreciated the fact I was the loan reservation, and Ljubljana City Tour still honored the reservation without canceling! He was very attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to answer questions. He made what could have been a humdrum rainy day in Slovenia and turned it into a great experience . Thank you!
We really enjoyed this tour. Alenka was very informative and took her time answering all of our questions. We learned interesting information we would not have know otherwise and gave great eating and drinking tips too.
We really enjoyed the information and lighted -hearted commentary of our guide. He really showed his love for the area.
Larisa is been an excellent guide, she gave us many informations about history, society, culture, language, arts, poetry of Lubiana and Slovenia. Thanks so much
The guide Alenka was very knowledgeable. Explained the geograpghy, history and culture of the the city of Ljubljana.
Our guide was Alenka Sršen and she was lovely. She was very professional and very prompt in responding to all emails before the trip . Upon meeting her we felt that she had thorough knowledge and was engaging and patient with us - we enjoyed her company and the trip thoroughly. A huge thanks to Akenka for making the day memorable.
Great tour including all the key points of interest and a good orientation of the city. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable with interesting comments not just reeling off dates etc.
Beautiful city and a very welcoming guide (Alenka) She was knowledgeable and very helpful and we recommend her if you’re visiting
Uhotel Ljubljana. Stayed 2 nights. Excellent accomodation. Walking distance of the Old Town. Thoughtful ,Professional Staff - Visited June 2022 for the 70th Festival. UK Production of West Side Story. Excellent Lead played by Rising Star, Adam Filipe as Tony. He brought the house down. Shall definetely use this hotel on mt next visit.
We really enjoyed the City tour and learning about Ljubljana with a guide. The history is really interesting and our guide was very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend.
Great guided tour to experience the highlights of the historic part of Ljubljana. Guide Milos was great. Covered the highlights without rushing.
What a charming city! It is well worth a visit. Clean, safe, and very walkable with the castle, Dragon’s gate, market to visit. Plenty of sidewalk cafes along the river to sit and enjoy. The Grand Union hotel is centrally located.
Great way to see Ljubljana in a small group. Anze, my guide was very knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humor. He seemed to enjoy the tour as much as I did. Highly recommended over the “free” tour.
Alenka was an incredible host. She is very knowledgeable on the history of Ljubljana, loves her job, loves her country and is great company. She even bought me a gelato!
Alenka Sršen was fantastic! It sounded like she is a long-time local with several insights into Ljubljana history as well as present day restaurant and consumer recommendations. She was very personable and real, including giving the straight story about politics and religion / their place in Slovenian culture/history. (And, when requested [and ONLY when requested], her experience with all of the above.) She personalized the tour to our interests, showed attention to our individual backgrounds and how those related to the tour and our possible needs/wants, and was communicative, helpful, and articulate from before the trip started through after it ended. She even sent me screenshots of her, what she would be wearing, and Google walking directions from my hotel to the meeting place (unsolicited). After the tour, she walked me to an easy-to-understand endpoint for where I was headed next (which was not the official ending spot of the tour). The tour, itself, packed in a lot of information, a moderate amount of walking, and (what sounds like from other travelers in my cohort who explored Ljubljana on their own before I did) a comprehensive tour of the main spots to see. Especially toward the very end when you scale the castle viewing tour, there are MANY steps. Although the rest of the tour was a rather lazy pace/physical requirement, that part is strenuous. If you have health problems or get dizzy easily, just skip that part. If you can, then allow 30+ minutes after the scheduled tour ends to explore the castle. The tour ends with just a brief introduction to the castle (20-30 minutes). I got the impression that there was more to see. Ms. Alenka advised us that we could stay at the castle as long as we wanted after the tour officially ended. (Entrance ticket included in tour price.) I was not able to stay, but some people did. Look to their reviews for whether that was worth it. Side notes: (1) if you go on a Saturday, then you will be in for an extra treat! Farmer's market in the area. Soooooo extensive and impressive! Flowers, vegetables, fruit, clothing, accessories, and more. United States Farmer's Markets PALE in comparison. Loved being able to walk through it as part of the tour. (2) Take euros to be able to tip. You will want to. (3) Our tour started at the same time as the "free" tour. Paying Ms. Alenka was absolutely worth it. The free tour had 30+ people gathered at a nearby start spot. Most likely, the majority of those folks (a) never heard what the guide was saying, and (b) did not have a personalized tour. (4) COVID: On your honor, no masks and no questions asked. [May 7, 2022]
Alenka was a great guide! Very informative tour with history and culture information. Totally recommend this tour and a visit to Ljubljana
Alenka from Ljubljana Guides was excellent . She was knowledgeable, personable, and attentive and flexible. I would definitely give Alenka 6 stars and would 100% recommend her to others.
The tour of the town and castle was exceptional. Alenka was very knowledgable of both historical and current highlights.
Alenka was excellent. She paid attention to details and was not in a hurry. She understood the meaning of wanting to know about the culture and history of the city. She took time to explain and I felt she was more of a friend than a tour guide. Even when that is part of the job she did it with style. I am hiring her services again for another tour in October 2020. :).
