“Alen provided so much historical and geological context to all the stops. I say geological because we were in river valleys and mountains. He gave great suggestions at our lunch stop. I'm never one to participate in guided tours but man this was the best day ever. It really gave me a sense of a huge area outside of the city which is totally accessible from the city. Thank you!

Walk Ljubljana’s old town with a local guide, see Plečnik’s landmarks, enter St. Nicholas Cathedral, and ride the funicular to the castle.

“Ljubljana is a quaint city and the important sights are all within a short walk. So a walking tour is the ideal way to get to know the city. In a walking tour, having a good guide is critical and our guide Alan did not disappoint. The only dampener was literally the weather, as the rain came soon after the walk began. But Alan did a good job of moving from spot to spot when there were short breaks in between the showers.”
