“I had such a great time with Polona! Unfortunately, the rest of our tour had to cancel so she took me on an incredible solo tour around Ljubljana’s restaurants. It felt like I was meeting a new friend, except even better, because she had so much to share about Slovenian history, architecture, food, and wine. My favorite bites were the fried chicken, the traditional dumpling, and the Teran wine. Also, I loved that we ended with a traditional cake & sparkling wine instead of just gelato. Incredible value for the tour and a wonderful way to end my trip in Slovenia. I definitely recommend eating with Polona! She was wonderful!”
