Hello my name is Janez. I was born in a peaceful town, one of the capital cities of Slovenia, called Kranj. It sits among Julian, Karavanks and Kamnisko Savinjskes alps and on top of that it's also the capital of our greenest region Carniola. I come from a master craftsmen oriented ancestors of blacksmiths, horse carriage drivers and carpenters, but I've decided to become a tour guide and therefore just introduce Slovenian traditions to travelers. Next to the profession of an international tour guide, I am also a professional driver, personal-care assistant and a musician. I also study on the College for sustainable future, to become a graduate of environmentalism. If you like the topic of sustainability or ecology, you surely won't be bored traveling with me and while sightseeing we can discuss all the issues of our planet. As a tour guide I find myself fulfilled and happy as a person. I decided to become a tour guide mostly for the broad range of knowledge I'm gaining and also for being able to travel and enjoy working at various places with a variety of people. After three years of professional guiding I shine best on private tours driver-guiding, where my guests are having a fully relaxed day, enjoying different exotic highlights. My personal favorite tour to deliver would probably be the tour to Postojna caves, continuing to the littoral region. There the traveler can see the most of Slovenia's diversity in climate and landforms. Travelers are very attracted to Slovenia. It's called the most beautiful European country by many! To see it's nature, to experience the culture and to learn about the history of Slovenes is a true culinary of tourism! All of the top visited locations in here, the so called jewels of Slovenia and fairy tale destinations all offer big bites of information you can learn and later connect together as small pieces of the culture. For sure the city Bled with the dreamy island on the lake and Slovenian oldest castle rising gloriously over the lake will make you feel truly connected with Bled's history. Or the worlds first caves open for public in Postojna. You'll join the train to the underworld there, literally. Maybe our Triglav National Park tour can offer you a cool experience of European Alps from up close? I truly feel blessed for being with travelers in all high lighted tourist destinations. You will experience exotic moments to remember, especially with Slovenia being famous for being a green and sustainable European country. With me you are invited to discover even the most hidden and pristine landscapes of my country. I will help you create your own one of a kind tour to remember and help you collect all the pieces of the puzzle Slovenia has in store for you. Welcome my traveler friend, feel free to make yourself at home. Licensed national and international tour guide In my tours I have no restrictions

Overview of your Koper tour

Capital city, biggest university city, Republics' Slovenia political center with all the government and embassy buildings and a geographical center of the country. The early 20th century makeover with the reconstructed Castle puts Ljubljana to pair up with every big European city. In this millennium the city center was infrastructurally renewed and now offers a modern new look. This trip to Ljubljana is truly the best option for you because it includes the best of all worlds in one day. Orientation panoramic city drive shows all Palaces and biggest embassies and other institutions. Walking tour will take you thru all the biggest squares with monuments that are full of life, like the Square of Prešeren and the Congress square. Bridges in the center are the first signature of this city, one even bragging with 4 big dragons. Castle of Ljubljana is also a pearl that shines for it's historical values and is a must see for everyone. I can fully customize this tour to suit your potential desires.

This was a great tour! I requested Janez to customize a tour combining a morning walking tour of Ljubljana and afternoon visit to Lake Bled. In planning, Janez was very helpful in making suggestions for both tour components. The time with Janez and the tour did not disappoint! The city tour gave us a great introduction to Ljubljana's old town, including the Triple bridges, the Cathedral, City Hall among other sights (we opted to do Ljubljana castle on our own at a later time). Janez drove us to Lake Bled where we had lunch and he took us on a tour of Bled Castle (this is not to be missed, its epic!) We then did the boat trip to the Island in the middle of Lake Bled before reuniting with Janez for the trip home. Janez was very friendly, insightful and provided helpful commentary on the tour. It was a pleasure having him as our guide. His command for English was very good.

Janez was an awesome tour guide! He’s not only a nice and pleasant man, but he’s an excellent communicator. He has very good knowledge of the history in the area and of the historical sites. We were very pleased that we had decided to have Janez help us to see Koper and Piran. We would have been lost without him.
