We really enjoyed our time with Lucka. She was very knowledgeable about both recent and old history. She was able to very much customise 'on the fly' as the tour progressed to fit in with our own interests. We found her very friendly and I would heartily recommend her. The 3 hours passed very quickly!A really great 3 hours

Selma did an outstanding job for my wife and me on our first visit to Lubliana. She showed us all of the primary sites, but, more importantly, gave us an excellent understanding of the day-to-day life of Slovenians in their capital city. Highly recommended. Excellent tour of Lubliyana

Selma was welcoming and friendly, and despite the pouring rain was enthusiastic and bubbly, and generous in sharing her knowledge and affection for Ljubiana, tips for great places to see, eat and drink to maximise our time. Thank you for a really great introduction to a fantastic city. Thankfully the sun did shine in the days following our tour and the places we visited looked beautiful in the sun! Great introduction to the city

Selma is a very pleasant and open guide. She tailored the tour to our liking on the fly. Her knowledge of the city was impressive and she showed us many bars and restaurants along the way, which we obviously all had to test afterwards and she was right to suggest every single one of them. It felt like going for a walk with a friend through a beautiful city. Thanks Selma!Very nice experience in Ljubljana

Karin was a wonderful guide to us throughout the day, giving us time at Triglav national park and the Soca valley. We learnt a lot about the area and its history, the mountains and had a great balance of active walking stops and photo stops.Karin was a wonderful guide

Our guide Karin, who herself was born and raised in this region, did an excellent job and showed us a range of remarkable places along th etour. With her good humour, calm and positive attitude and insightful comments on all the different spots we passed, the 8 hours really flew by. You could tell that preserving this extraordinary landscape is very dear to Karin's heart and her passiong for nature was truly contagious. Excellent job

What an amazing day! Huge thanks to our super guide Karin. Karin took us to beautiful lake Bojinj, onto a car train through a mountain (How cool!!!) and into the Soca Valley. From there we did a short hike to a beautiful waterfall.Wethen went for another hike with a short section of Ferrata to source of the Soca River. Karin's expert driving skills got us over the epic Vrisic Pass safely. Stunning mountain terrain, and down to Kranjska Gora and Sava Valley. Karin was a really wonderful guide. So knowledgable and passionate about the area and we learnt and saw so much nature,landscape, history and culture. We travel without a car, so a briliiant way to see the beautiful landscape around the Julian Alps region. We are a largely middle aged group (except for our Youthful friend from New Zealand), so the tour is good for all sorts of people, and you can always opt out of the hikes at any stage, but also made my inner adrenaline junkie very happy. What an amazing day!
