I welcome you in Slovenia, in its capital Ljubljana and the Green Embrace of Central Slovenia! Slovenia, the region Central Slovenia and the capital Ljubljana are proud of their many beauties, which, sadly enough, visitors who are coming to Europe tend to overlook much too quickly. Thus, I invite you not to make the same mistake and to join me on our explorations: on foot, with your car, by bike, or mine by boat-just name it! Make sure to charge the batteries of your cameras and other "picture-taking" devices and together we will discover and enjoy our hidden jewels. As a local, I am going to make your stay here special and memorable! Feel most welcomed and cozy in my city and its surroundings! *TOURIST GUIDE LJUBLJANA-Licence Nr:92, Ljubljana Tourism *NATIONAL MUSEUM OF SLOVENIA GUIDE *LJUBLJANA CASTLE GUIDE *SLOVENIAN ETHNOGRAPHIC MUSEUM GUIDE *LJUBLJANA CITY MUSEUM *PIRAN- KOPER-IZOLA-ANKARAN LICENSED GUIDE *Local tourist guide Regional park Ljubljansko barje *Licenced TOUR MANAGER- IATM member *Licence for passenger transportation Nr: 013271/001 *First aid ceritificate (renewed every 2 years, last 2022) ACADEMICAL EDUCATION: 1991 Bachelor Of Economics At The University Of Rijeka, Faculty Of Tourism & Hotel Management, Croatia (ex YU) 1994 Certificate In Business Administration, Swinburne University Of Technology, Melbourne, Vic, Australia, Work Placement:Tourist Resort Kingfisher Bay, Fraser Island, Australia 2013: Bachelor's programme in Cultural History, University of Nova Gorica,Slovenia WFTGA International Accredited Tourist Guide Trainer 2023- PhD student Contemporary Tourism Studies Volonteer: Current: President of Association of Regional Tourist Guides of Slovenia- ARGOS I have licences to guide you in following museums: Slovenian National Museum (the oldest music instrument in the world!), Ljubljana Castle as well as Slovenian Ethnographic Museum- would be very happy to include any of them in our program!

Overview of your Ljubljana tour

Ljubljana is my beloved city. Went to high school here, later went abroad to study and work, however, later I came back as a swallow bird to the nest, that can not be forgotten. I would like you to fall in love with my city. After the tour, you will get an insider view of the life in our capital today- a meeting point of many different European cultures. You will get familiar with our everyday habits: how does our day start, where do we get our fresh food, what our main sights are famous for, meet our architecture that answered to different influences, have a look of the city from a bird and a fish perspective . All that with a touch of history that created our culinary and us: while visiting we are going to taste our local food as well! Soon you will notice, that we are easy going, that making our lifestyle pleasant is one of our main preoccupations!

Mateje is a rock star guide. She is the best guide I have have the fortune to meet. She is so knowledgeable and caring. We were engaged from the moment we started until the end of the day. We learned so much. We engaged in deep conversations. I definitely recommend Mateje.

Mateja was fabulous! With her encyclopedic of Ljubljana we were able to understand and appreciate the history of this truly beautiful city. The tour was informative and fun and we highly recommend Mateja for a tour of Ljubljana.

Mateja was the best tour guide my husband and I have ever known! She was totally professional, and extremely knowledgable about Llubjana's history, culture and architecture. Mateja's English is excellent as is her communications. She clearly enjoys her career, taking an interest in us as individuals and our interests. My husband and I completely enjoyed the itinerary that Mateja created for this city tour. We also had a lot of questions and Mateja answered every one! I can't recommend Mateja highly enough, and was very pleased that we booked her for her Lake Bled and the Alpine Paradise tour for the following day!

Mateja was an outstanding guide. She arrived on time and proceeded to provide history, cultural information, political information, facts on various sights and was able to answer any questions we had. We felt like we really got to know Ljubljana and Slovenia very well. She was flexible and adapted to less than ideal weather; she was able to show us areas not originally part of the tour. Her English is better than many native English speakers. We would highly recommend her tours .

My husband and I had a simply wonderful full-day tour of Ljubljana with Mateja. Mateja is extremely knowledgeable about the city, past and present. She is also very personable. The pace of the tour was perfect, with breaks for coffe and lunch. We never felt hurried and yet saw and learned more than we likely would have on our own. We wholeheartedly recommend taking a tour with Mateja - and would do it again, no question!

The day my partner and I spent with Mateja was truly extraordinary—she's remarkably smart, warm, funny, flexible, and knowledgable, and she was the perfect guide to Ljubljana. We explored more than we would have thought possible, and everything was expertly paced: we never felt rushed, we never ran out of things to talk about and investigate, and we left the experience energized—and for an eight-hour tour, that's really saying something. If I could give Mateja ten stars, I would!
