My wife and I booked this tour and we were lucky enough to get our awesome guide Alenka. She made our tour super special as she was very knowledgeable about everything, all her recommendations were great. We had the most amazing time spending the day with her and cannot recommend this company and Alenka enough.

Incredible tour! Natasha was a phenomenal guide and provided so much fascinating history about Slovenia and the locations we went. I wish we had a little more time in Lake Bled, but overall the day was perfectly paced!

I had a private tour with Milos and it was absolutely lovely! A lot of knowledge shared, history of the city, and a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Definitely recommended.

Although the riddles could be a bit more challenging, we still had an awesome time and we enjoyed this funny way to explore the city.

The guide was wonderful - professional, knowledgeable and welcoming.
