Dear guests, I'm so glad you're considering a visit to Slovenia—and even happier that you're looking for a local guide! You've come to the right place. Since 2010, I've had the pleasure of introducing visitors from all over the world to the beauty, charm, and history of Slovenia, especially my hometown, Ljubljana. I would be honored to welcome you as my next guest. Born and raised in Ljubljana, I studied journalism at the University of Ljubljana and worked for many years as a travel journalist and researcher at Slovenia's national TV broadcaster. Although I once searched for a new home abroad, I ultimately realized that the best place to be... was right here. Slovenia is still considered one of Europe’s hidden gems—but that’s changing fast. Its natural beauty, rich culture, and high quality of life are capturing more and more attention. Curious to know why? I’d love to show you in person. I specialize in classic sightseeing tours—the perfect way to experience Slovenia's highlights and understand its story. I also offer food and wine tours for those interested in our local traditions and sustainable ways of living, though my most popular tours remain the must-see places like Lake Bled, Postojna Cave, and, of course, the charming streets of old Ljubljana. Certified Slovenian national tour guide Licensed beekeeping tour guide Bachelor’s degree in journalism Former travel journalist & researcher Passionate traveler and people-person I look forward to showing you why Slovenia is such a special place—let’s make your trip unforgettable!

Private Tour of Ljubljana’s Old Town, Architecture & Castle Views
Overview of your Ljubljana tour
This private 3-hour walking tour is the perfect introduction to the city’s rich history. Designed especially for first-time visitors, this experience blends storytelling, hidden gems, and iconic landmarks to give you a true feel for what makes Ljubljana so special. We’ll explore the most beloved parts of the Old Town, from the picturesque Triple Bridge to the lively Central Market—a favorite among locals for fresh produce and everyday life. You'll also uncover the secrets behind intriguing symbols, like the half-nude female statue in the main square (there's a great story there!). One of the highlights of our journey is a deeper look at Jože Plečnik, the visionary architect whose work transformed Ljubljana and earned UNESCO World Heritage recognition. We’ll conclude the tour with a ride up to Ljubljana Castle’s panoramic viewpoint, where—on a clear day—you can enjoy breathtaking views all the way to the Alps. It’s the perfect finale to an unforgettable introduction to Slovenia.
