“The castle is visible from the entire city, so it's easy to get excited for this visit. We chose to ride the funicular up (which I recommend as it's a steep walk). Once inside, it's easy to navigate around, including climbing the tower. The views from the castle can't be beat and thus, this is a must-do activity while visiting Ljubljana.”

“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.”

“We had a very enjoyable walking tour around Ljubljana’s Old Town with Peter, who is knowledgeable about his city and is happy to share his knowledge with you. It was a private tour, so there were just the two of us, and so we could set the pace which was nice. Streets, buildings, statues, river, … Peter knows it all! The tour ended with a ride up the funicular to Ljubljana castle, and a tour of the castle itself. We highly recommend Peter and his tour. Our tour started at 3:30pm which meant that one or two of the local shops had closed by the time we got to them…”
