Dear traveler! I love to connect with people and I am totally in love with our little sLOVEnia! ;) I live in Ljubljana, a small, lovely capital, where I finished my studies. I love foreign languages, history and nature and traveling has always been my greatest passion. My 28-year-long career as a local guide and trip leader has brought me into contact with travellers from all over the world, in several foreign languages. Besides that, in the past I lead Slovenian guests to different overseas countries. Slovenia is a small 'green patch' of Europe. It's the only country whose name contains the word 'love'. At your visit, you will see why. It's a small country of big beauty and full of small discoveries. Check out our national anthem, called 'Zdravljica' - 'The Toast' http://www. preseren. net/ang/3_poezije/13_zdravljica. asp) Traveling opens horizons, strenghtens torelance and makes people happier. That's what happens to me, when I travel myself. Therefore, when I guide, the hapiness of my guests is my primary goal. I've got a lot of experience in driving/guiding by car/van and safety is very important for me. I'm professional, knowledgeable, open, fun. . . and my guests often comment: 'your enthusiasm is contagious'. . . ;) I'll be very happy to help you in advance with your holiday planning , so your Slovenian experience will be trully unforgettable. "Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

Overview of your Ljubljana tour

I love Bled lake, every time I visit it, I feel like in a fairytale. Bled is a trademark of Slovenian tourism and one of the most picturesque sites of the country. The setting is just incredible - a small clear-blue lake, an island with a small church in the middle, a medieval castle on a cliff just at the lake and the Julian Alps behind it. Bled is for nature and history lovers, for hikers and for those, who like to enjoy beautiful views and taste local specialities like a famous 'kremšnita' cake. The small town of Radovljica, just 10min away from Bled has a picturesque medieval old town and nice views. It's famous for beekeeping and local handicrafts. Radovljica lies on a terrace above a valley, where two Sava rivers meet and form the longest river on the Balkans. The views of the valley are stunning. . . and just a 1min walk from the towns picturesque medieval old town core.

We had a wonderful tour with Barbara and highly recommend her to others. It was a pleasure being with her for the day learning so much about Slovenia. She designed a custom tour for us through winding roads to Dražgoše to see the WW2 Partisan monument, Jamnik with the famous hilltop church, a personal tour at the ironworks museum in Kropa, lunch in medieval old town Radovljica, and a visit to a 3rd generation beekeeper in Begunje. It was an amazing day filled with so much local knowledge and culture that we could have never done on our own. One of the most memorable days of our trip!

We had a wonderful two days with Barbara. It was our first time in Slovenia and what we had a spectacular time because of her. Barbara is knowledgeable, a wonderful person to have a good conversation with and most of all, flexible and accommodating. I'd love to come back to Slovenia because of it's friendly a d nice nation but mostly because Barbara is such a wonderful representation of her beautiful country and I'd love to see the rest of Slovenia with her for sure! Thank you so much Barbara ❤️

We had a fabulous day in Ljubljana and Lake Bled with Barbara! She shared so much about the history, culture and life in Slovenia. We were with her for 8 hours and enjoyed every minute. We cannot recommend her highly enough. I wish we could find a Barbara in every city we visit!

I have used many travel guides in the past, and Barbara is by far the best, for many reasons! Without question. She is very friendly, and speaks excellent English as well as other languages. Barbara's organizational skills are unsurpassed, enabling me to see so much more of Slovenia that I could have dreamed, with many special stops that Barbara added. And all at a comfortable pace. Barbara is also very accommodating to meet your schedule and needs. Barbara organized a truly magical trip!
