2.Ljubljana private walking tour with a local

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 140 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $78

Explore Ljubljana’s old town with a private local guide, from the market and Plecnik bridges to dragons, folklore, food, and daily life.

“We had such a great time on our walking tour. Peter was amazing and we learnt lots about the history of Ljubljana. For 2 people who didn’t know a lot about Slovenia before arriving, he was able to give us brief histories of key events to help give context to what we were doing. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone who has a couple of hours to spare in Ljubljana.”

3.Private Mediterranean Fish Cooking Workshop with Irena

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 118 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $199

Learn to clean, fillet, and cook Adriatic seafood with Irena at Fonda Fish Garden near Portorož, followed by a fresh Mediterranean meal.

“Irena's dedication to the sea, the environment and the produce we worked with is truly remarkable and takes this experience to the next level. I've always been somewhat apprehensive when it came to handling fish but through this workshop I gained knowledge that empowered me to venture into cooking with fish more. Did I mention that the workshop took place under a pine tree by the sea? The authentic surroundings made the time stand still while we worked on our food which turned out absolutely delicious. Loved every minute of this experience”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 55 reviews · from $54Best value

Explore Ljubljana with a private local guide, picking up practical food, market, transport, and city tips in a flexible walking tour.

“Tao was an outstanding person to show us and introduce us to Ljubljana. Not only was he extremely communicative, but he was a wealth of information. It was a lie and personal tour telling us a lot of history and pointing out things we would have never noticed or seen. He also recommended the Friday night food celebration as well as a Saturday mornings, farmers markets. He went over and above what was expected and I could not recommend Tao or this agency more. Enjoy this beautiful city and the beautiful people that live here.Read more”

And guess what the guide gave us a ride to the entrance of Vingar Gorge that helped us save a precious time. The gorge is surely a must see too.”
