Every city tells wonderful stories, and Ljubljana is no exception. These stories tell about people, events, symbols, myths, and beliefs, and are best told through exploring art and architecture of the city and its development through time. I invite you to join me in one such exploration. Disregard dry history lectures, and immerse yourself into story-telling, symbolism, art, and architecture. I am an award-winning tourist worker from Ljubljana with close to two decades of experience, who has dedicated his life to sharing knowledge, and putting smiles on people’s faces. Why chose a 1 hour 30 minutes walking tour instead of the ones which last 2 hours or more? Most people lose focus after 1hour 30minutes of listening. So, avoid the full bladder, heat or cold, and back pain, pay less and enjoy more. In case you wish to know more, I add 15 to 20 minutes of questions at the end of the tour anyway. So, please join me and book.
