What people are saying about Ljubljana

This tour was the absolute highlight of my trip to Ljubljana. Ines was so friendly and knowledgeable about the areas we visited and Slovenia. She answered all my questions and even offered to take photos of me at each spot, which was very appreciated! The caves were so impressive and the tour through them, while slightly crowded, was breathtaking and informative. But the castle was my favourite! You get a self-guided audio tour and learning the stories and history of the castle while wandering around was a great experience. Plus the views were just beautiful - such a unique place! I cannot recommend this tour enough!
