It was great! Very helpful staff - the stairs down to the boat are quite steep and I am 73, but they were extremely good about making sure that I was all right, and helping me on and off the boat. It was exactly the right amount of time - a very gentle hour-long meander along the river.

Not very interesting - hardly any sights to see on that stretch of the river and no commentary - was a pleasant relaxing boat trip but not really worth the money
A very friendly captain, and it was very interesting in the nice weather.
We loved our River Boat Cruise. Our guides provided a rich history of the river and the buildings/bridges. They were extremely friendly. The boat had only a few people on it so you could chat with the crew easily. It was well worth the price, and the time was just perfect. The only negative I have is that the last few things we have booked though Tripadvisor we have not receive any information on where we were to meet. We had a 10:00 departure time and the night before we realized we never received any info about where the boat was to depart from. We called Tripadvisor and the Customer Service rep was NOT helpful at all. She didn't have any information for us either and said they would find out and email us in the morning before our departure. We never got an email in the morning from Tripadvisor so we left a little earlier than we needed and went to a spot we had seen boats stop at and figured if it wasn't the right spot, hopefully they would know where to go. Luckily, we did end up in the right spot.
If you go for the first trip of the day at 10am then there will be no signage out to tell you which dock to go to! It was very confusing and I was running up and down asking different boat tours which place I needed to go to, which they pointed in a direction but still no signage! Eventually I saw the boat coming down the river from a bridge and where it was about to stop so I was able to run down to the dock. I have photographed the specific dock this cruise runs from. The cruise itself was nice enough, though it didn't feel we went very far down the river before turning back around. It is advertised as being one hour long cruise but I was picked up at 10am and dropped back by 10.45 - including boarding and then the stop for a hot drink I think overall cruise time was probably 30 minutes. If I were you I'd go for a guided tour instead, I tried to find their guided version but was not able to! There are plenty of boat tour operators running in the area so shop around. I only went with this one as I got some sort of discount after using booking.com. It was cheap and a nice cruise on the river but it did not blow me away! Images are of the steps to the dock and the restaurant directly opposite to assist people in finding the area!
Tour was great. Even had a stop where you could purchase a drink. The staff member was so friendly. Great price and would highly recommend. We truly had a great time and would visit again
I had a really good experience on this boat tour down the Ljubljanica River. The company was very responsive when I had questions about the weather conditions and the meeting point, and they replied quickly which made everything easy to organise. The boat itself was perfect for a rainy day as it is fully covered, so you stay dry and comfortable throughout the trip. It is worth noting that there is no guide or live commentary, so if you are looking for a guided tour with information, this may not be the right choice. Overall though, it was a smooth and relaxing ride and ideal if you just want a simple way to see the river, especially in less predictable weather.
Maybe a few words on what were we seeing to understand what is what, name of a bridge or of a channel
Excellent hour spent on the river. Knowledgeable guide who provided lots of information. Lovely characters running this trip.
A nice boat ride down the river
The panoramic boat cruise in Ljubljana is a great way to spend an hour. It's relaxing, peaceful and stress free. The boat stops half way at a bar on the riverside, allowing you to buy a refreshing drink if needed. The views are nice, but you won't necessarily see everything on the trip, so treat it as supplemental rather than the main sight-seeing part of the trip! €15 per person - I thought the value was just about right.
We booked with this company due to reading a blog that said about the excellent guided tour - it was the specific reason we chose them, and our young daughters were also excited to listen to a guide tell us what was happening. It was in NO WAY clear when booking the 1:30pm slot that this was without a guide or information, and so we were all extremely disappointed and also felt that over €40 was extremely expensive considering. Such a shame as we would have booked a different slot if the details had been made clear. ☹️☹️☹️
It wasn't a tour. No words from the driver. It was a pretty ride down the river. I thought that we would get some history or knowledge about the surroundings.
Great 45 minute tour. Allows travellers to admire the buildings whilst cruising along the river. We were fortunate to have a group of ladies celebrating a birthday who involved us in their celebrations and gave us shots of rakija.
I was disappointed there was no commentary, or even any on board information, so we had no idea what we were seeing. The website said it was a guided tour but there was no guiding whatsoever. Even an A4 page with some info would have been helpful. There didn't seem to be that much to see anyway, so I felt it was quite pricey at €40 for two adults and a child. Two stars rather than one because it's covered so you can do in all weathers, but I wouldn't recommend, as it ended up being quite dull.
The views of Ljubljana was amazing we took lot of photos and videos, it was a calm and pleasant boat ride with beautiful views of Ljubljana river
My daughter and I visited Slovenia in July. The panaromic boat ride is a must do. It was serene and beautiful and relaxing with great views of the city. Strongly recommend it.
Closed in boat very hot. Thought it had a guide - it didn’t but we were lucky enough that a tour group had got on so we had some limited context to what we were seeing. Otherwise would be boring with no idea of what we were seeing. Stopped for drinks and was just under 16 euros for 2 small bottles of water - rip off
Everything is fine. Well organized. Excellent beer during the break. Thank you
Ljubljana does not have a real artistic heritage that leaves you speechless, but the cruise was evocative while sailing through nature and because of the friendliness of the person who was conducting it.
Boring! It would have been nice if there was a little explanation about the city or where you sail, but you only sail back a bit in one direction and a bit in the other. EUR 15 p.p is too much for this
5 minutes after the departure there was already an initial break of over 10 minutes at a bar on the shore to buy drinks. After that, 2 stops to pick up a hiking group and drop it off again. Of the offered journey time of 1 hour, at most 40 minutes remained. With the other providers we have not seen anything like this!
Seeing Ljubljana from the river is wonderful, it gives you a completely different point of view, the city is full of hidden corners and the banks along the river with the little bars and the possibility of sailing the river with small rowing boats makes it all very magical and romantic.
You practically don't cross the city and you only see uninteresting banks for 45 minutes
Went away too late, on the way people had to be dropped off, an unsolicited drinks stop and back in time. Worthless.
