I had a great experience — the tour was meticulously organized and the explanations were excellent. It’s not so common to find a local guide who also speaks Italian fluently. Highly recommended.Perfect!

We had a great tour of Ljubljana with Selma! She is friendly, knowledgeable, and informative and helped us know what it is like to have grown up and now live in Slovenia. Selma customized her tour to our interests so that we were able to see many different sides of Ljubljana, a city that we have grown to love. We highly recommend Selma!5-Star Ljubljana/Slovenian Culture Intro!

We had a great time with our guide Lučka wandering around the city for about 3 hours. We got to see a lot of different places in the city, also locations that we wouldn‘t have visited on our own, but are glad that Lučka showed them to us. During the tour we were able to get a lot of information about the city, the country and the people, which felt very honest and personal, something we truely appreciate. We had a very interesting, adventurous afternoon and would recommend to explore Ljubljana with Lučka to everyone! Greetings from Switzerland!What a lovely experience!

Selma was terrific! My friends and I really enjoyed spending 3 hours with her, walking around town and hearing about the history of this wonderful city and country, as well as her life. Selma is smart, funny and engaging - I’d highly recommend her tours!Great tour of the real Ljubljana!

If you are looking for an exceptional tour guide Selma must be your choice. She is not doing a job, she is living it. We had fantastic 3 hours together, walked 10+ km and even had the chance to stop for great Slovenian food and did some shopping. Highly recommended. PS: I did the tour with Selma on my own, just 1 person. This makes it look expensive, worth every Euro spent.Ljubljana at its best - with Selma

Selma was a delight to have as our tour guide. We walked the city for 3 hours and learned a lot about the history, architecture, education, arts, some local government initiatives, food and wine. Some of our tour was off the beaten path that tourists typically follow so we got a glimpse of everyday lifestyle of local People. An excellent tour in Ljubljana

Selma provided a very nice overview of the city and its history. She was eager to answer questions and provide recommendations. While English was the main language used, her Italian proved useful for two people in our group. We definitely recommend Selma.Nice tour of Ljubljana

Dit was precies de reden waarom we deze privé tour boekten: we willen graag alles weten over Ljubliana maar dan wel met het accent op onze specifieke belangstelling. Lucka had van tevoren ons gevraagd om de aandachtspunten te noemen en ze stemde het programma daar naadloos op af. Met persoonlijke passie en soms ook een kritische noot liet ze ons kennismaken met de stad en met het leven in modern Slovenië. Het werd een heel mooie ervaring!Tour exact afgestemd op onze interesses

Lučka was great! Ljubliana was the start of a 2-week trek across several countries for us, and over the rest of the trip we found ourselves quoting some of her observations that had broader resonance. Delightful and smart!Very insightful

This a was very relaxed no nonsense way to see the city. We walked through tourist areas, local streets, discovered where locals go for a night out, discovered a great place to listen to jazz and had insight into the education system in the country too! Selma was the perfect guide and we were all set for our next two days in the city! Perfect Intro to Ljubliana

Although Selma changed our meeting time and was a bit late, we spent a really lovely few hours with her learning about the beautiful city of Ljubljana. She spoke beautiful English and told us lots of really interesting bits about the city and the Slovenian way of life. We were able to see parts of the city that we would not necessarily have explored on our own and we learned so much about how the people live out here, their traditions and culture. Selma was really lovely and we would recommend doing this tour. A great introduction to Ljubljana

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!

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

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!
