The countryside was gorgeous once we were out of the city and the walks we did at each location were amazing and easy to do. The waterfall walk does involve quite a few stairs up. Our weather was perfect for our day. Our lunch stop was good too with recommendations from Milo about the traditional Slovenian menu.

Guides such as Jasmina, Ana, and Polona are praised for their humor, warmth, and practical tips.

“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!”

“Misleading and Unfair Experience – Charged When Others Joined for Free I joined the Classic Ljubljana Walking Tour after paying €26 in advance through Viator, only to discover that every other participant on the same tour had joined for free. I was the only person required to pay upfront. When I contacted both Ljubljana Free Tour and Viator, they confirmed this arrangement but refused a refund, claiming that others “tipped later” — though this was never explained at the time of booking. There was no transparency that I could be placed in a group where everyone else attended without prepayment. While the guide was friendly and the tour itself was…”
