    Really great. We did the free/tip based walking tour with Nina and the fixed price communist tour with Peter. Both were really great, knowledgeable, friendly and passionate. Probably the best two things we did in Ljubljana.

    Very professional setup, miles better than most tours I have done in other cities. Did two tours in one day with Helena who was really great and knew her stuff. Both personable and professional. Many thanks.

    Peter [The First] did a great job! The tour was a perfect start for getting to know the city - awesome food recommendations included. Don't miss the Slowenian layer cake :)

    Great visit with Tina 2, she took us through her city and her country that she loves so much

  • 5/5 Alberto R. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly, highly recommended. Our tour guide was Lucija, who walked us around lovely Ljubljana for over two hours and gave us an interesting and fun account of the story of the city and of its main monuments and points of interest. Given that it was quite a sunny and hot day, she made sure whenever she stopped that there was some shade available to us, she pointed us to public fountains where we could refill our water bottles, she suggested further sights we could visit independently and she also gave us tips and discount vouchers for restaurants and souvenir shops. A worthwhile experience I was really thankful for!

    Mariana is such a lovely tour guide, very friendly and funny. She has a lot of knowledge about the history of Slovenia and Ljubljana, I learnt a lot of interesting things! Highly recommended

    I thoroughly enjoyed the free tour of Ljubljana--and appreciated hearing the correct pronunciation repeatedly--ha! We had Anja (I hope I'm spelling that correctly); she was lovely. She was very knowledgeable about the city and Slovenian history and answered all of our questions, random though some of them were. (Hint: there's a guy with an ostrich and some very odd statues around the town.)

    Did the free walking tour with Tina 2 our first night here and had a blast. You can tell she is so passionate about her city and I understand why! We loved learning the history and seeing how green the city is. It helped us scope out places to check out the rest of our visit. Thank you Tina 2!

    It was super spontaneously, because we were standing right in front of it when we decided to take part. 2 hours filled with information about the city and its history. The tour is free, but its without any respect not to give a tip to the tour guide. Its worth your time, especially if you just stay at Ljubljana for a short time!

    Very good tour. They explain in detail regarding the relevant places. Tour is free and related to key places. Guides are great and tell all the details about the places. Tour nearby lasts about 45 minutes. Number 1 free tour in Ljubjiana. Enough time for taking pictures as memories.

    Helena was a fantastic Tour guide! I can for sure say this has been one of the best free walking tours I have been on. A perfect mix of history, culture and fun facts. Totally worth it in winter as well. We got very lucky and saw a group of Kurenti at the end of our tour. Perfect timing!

    Helena was our guide. She was brilliant. A must do. Gives an amazing look into Slovenia 🇸🇮 history. Only sorry 😞 I didn't ask her to email me a copy of the photo she took.

  • 5/5 Tamryn L. 4 months ago on Google
    I did a walking tour on 12 October, I think it was with Anja. I really enjoyed it :) Ljubljana is very small so we covered the city centre, it was very informative and the guide and group was friendly.

  • 5/5 Dara B. 4 months ago on Google
    What an interesting and beautiful city! It's very quiet this time of year (which was kind of nice). Tina was a great guide of the city and gave us a lot of history and background about the city. We really enjoyed the tour! Thanks!

  • 5/5 Emily B. 10 months ago on Google
    We decided to do the Ljubljana free tour at 11am on our first morning in Slovenia. There were around 90 people on the day and we were split into 3 groups. Our guide (apologies, I think his name was "Jack") did not have a microphone however this was not an issue for such a large group, his English was incredible and he spoke very clearly. Very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of his city. We had very little understanding of Slovenia before arriving and definitely found this tour useful when arriving in this wonderful country.

    Great tour around beautiful Ljubljana old center city with our tour guide “Vodka” 😁 she was an amazing host, answering our questions, making the tour even more interesting! I really recommend it!

  • 5/5 Ioanna F. 7 months ago on Google
    THE BEST experience in Ljubljana! And if you can have the tour with Mariana will be the best! She is amazing and very knowledgeable! And she loves her city and country! It’s a fun 2 hour tour and you learn a lot about the city, the architecture, the history, the flags. Definitely worth it! Seriously don’t skip it!

    We did both the free general walking tour and the free walking castle tour the same day. We had Peter for the general walking tour then Helena for the castle one. They were both amazing! Both of them really knew their stuff and made the tour very enjoyable with good humour and tons of interesting historical information. Ljubljana is an incredible city with great history and we are so happy we were able to enjoy both these tours to see it in depth. I am a free walking tour guide back home in Victoria, Canada, so it was awesome to see how other guides do their tours here. Keep up the great work, Peter and Helena!

    Today I had the pleasure to have the Liubliana free tour with Tina. She's very professional, very kind, easy going, gave us a lot of tips about the city, talked a bit about the history of the city, about the buildings and churches we pass by, about food and tips to restaurants, and about Slovenian food. I really recommend her. Thank you Tina, you're great 😃👍🏻

  • 5/5 Marlin N. 11 months ago on Google
    We did your free city tour today with Tina 1 and it was excellent. Tina did a fantastic job keeping us interested in the history of the city and descriptions of the landmarks. We learned a lot about Slovenia in 2 hours and we have a much better appreciation for the country and the city of Ljubljana. Tina 1 was also very kind and helpful. Thanks to her we were able to enjoy a fantastic dinner. We are vegetarian, but we wanted to taste local dishes like Goulash which has meat, but thanks to her recommendation of vegan restaurant Güjžina, we were able of enjoy a vegan form of Goulash and other delicious local dishes and beers. Thank you Tina 1 and free local tours for a great afternoon.

    Helena was amazing, I get more from the city than any other tour in town. And better: I learned so much about the city, it's visible how much she loves this place, and she successfully transmitted that to us. Would definitely recommend!! Thank you Helena, we hope to come back soon 😍

  • 5/5 Anna O. 2 years ago on Google
    The Comunist Tour was our Ljubljana highlight. Thanks to Helena we had such great insights to the controversial and recent history of the city! It is worth the money. We even did the "normal" free walking tour after, which was also a helpful overview about the city, its architecture, food and places ! But if you are interested in the history, background to the rise and fa of Yugoslavia - please do the Comunist tour!

  • 5/5 Nuchnalin L. 1 year ago on Google
    I did one day trip in Ljubljana and join the free tour at 11:00 (a classic one). Our guide is Peter(the first) and the group size is approx 30-35 ppl. Peter started to talk about the history of Slovenia and the art that influenced the city and the value of Ljubljana. The tour lasts around 2:30 hours and can cover almost the main thing in the cities. At each stop, Peter provides facts and fun facts. More importantly, he has the skill to cheep up the tourists. It was very fun and he is very approachable.

  • 5/5 Chris H. 2 years ago on Google
    The communist tour was very informative and in depth history. We enjoyed to listen to the additional information from the very beginning up to the fall of Yugoslavia. Helena was a great guide!

  • 5/5 adrian m (. 2 years ago on Google
    Helena was our guide & she was AWESOME! Perfect english, extremely well-informed, witty/ funny. You could tell she was very experienced, not only because she had a depth of historical knowledge about each stop, & about the city as a whole, but also (& probably most importantly ), because she knew how to keep the pace. Helena engaged with the group to keep it an active, not passive, experience for all of us. & she added those personal touches & perspectives that distinguish having a guide who is a local, versus just googling on your own, or listening to a student who has only been in the city a short while (no disrespect to those kids trying to make some side money while going to school, heh). We spent a full 2 hours thoroughly exploring the Old Town, & learning about key figures (in particular Prešeren & Plečnik), key buildings, statues, monuments, fountains & bridges. It was a great overview that provides the perfect “foundation” for a deeper “follow-up” dive on your own. Very well structured & worthwhile for any first time visitor to the beautiful city of Ljubljana (nee Laibach) NOTE: tho it shouldn’t have to be said, I’ll have to mention this, because I’ve seen it happen in a few cities, including Ljubljana, unfortunately…. Yes, this is called a “Free” walking tour. But, as with most things in life, if someone provides a service to you, which this tour most certainly is, it’s fair for them to expect to be compensated for their time & efforts. Can you imagine walking around in the cold for 2 hours, relaying the same stories you’ve told a thousand times over (while still managing to make it seem exciting & fresh for each new group…) & then getting stiffed for your efforts at the end? Well, I’ve seen it happen, multiple times, which is EXCEEDINGLY lame. Tip your guides, people. Especially during these tough times, this should absolutely go without saying. The amount is up to you, but that amount should NEVER be “zero”. /end rant

    Nina has made our visit very entertaining and informative. 🤗She gave us a lot of recommendations where to go and what to do after the tour. She kept on our interest for the whole time. Thank you so much,Nina, it was such a great tour and you are a lovely guide!

  • 5/5 Marta C. 2 years ago on Google
    Helena was the perfect guide. Funny, full of interesting things to tell, always paying attention to the groups. The perfect way to start your time in Ljubljana! It’s a very small city, but with the help of the tour you get to understand so much more about it.
