      Don’t Miss the Hidden Gem of Trieste

      Michael_B, Sep 2025
      The private, Experience Trieste 2.5 hour walking tour was the perfect introduction to this Italian port city. As a cruise port gateway to Venice, Trieste may not get all the attention it deserves, but—trust us—it’s well worth spending some time there. Our personable local guide, Lubos, possessed all of the attributes deserving of a five-star rating: punctuality, knowledgeable, flexibility, and friendliness. We also greatly appreciated his pre-tour communications via WhatsApp, which gave us the confidence that all was in order. Everything promised in the tour description was delivered in a timely manner, at a leisurely pace, and by the knowledgeable and winsome, Lubos. The tour focused on Old Town Trieste, including its history, architecture, and cultural landmarks. The tour was the perfect springboard for our port of call there.

      Lubos was fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and charismatic. The tour included all of the important sights of downtown Trieste and history from ancient times to today, all of which he is an expert on. He also showed us how locals in Trieste take their coffee, explained the city’s food culture, and gave us lots of recommendations and even a packet with information about sights, local history, and maps. We couldn’t give a higher recommendation.

      Lubos Gave An Excellent Tour Tailored to Each of Our Interests

      James_F, Sep 2023
      We had an excellent walking tour with Lubos, who is exceptionally knowledgeable and immediately was able to tailor the tour to our interests- and delight. I mentioned a love of coffee and we went to two coffee shops that were a trip highlight for me. My husband has a scholar’s knowledge of European history and politics and Lubos was able to engage with him on a scholarly level that added even more context to what he had read in several books on Trieste before we went on the walk. Lubos was great and we highly recommend him!

      HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

      Alicia_E, Sep 2023

      Lubos was a real pleasure from start to finish. He was helpful beyond belief, knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating to our tight timescale and looked after us so well from start to finish. He treated us to a wonderful coffee. We loved our whistle stop tour of Trieste and will return in the future.

      A truly personal experience with a great host.

      Ruth_K, Aug 2023
      We had such a great time with Lubos, we had a thorough and interesting tour of Trieste, we felt that we saw all the major sites, and Lubos’s knowledge was amazing. He was well prepared and provided both written information and leaflets . The tour was a mixture is of history, culture, language, and hospitality this tour covered everything . Trieste is fascinating with history from the Romans through to the Austrians and then the 20th century. I would thoroughly recommend this as a place to visit, and also this is a great orientation tour.

      Six star excursion

      Ronald_D, May 2023
      What a tour! Lubos was one of the best tour guides I have ever had and I have been through hundreds. The walking tour through Trieste was so informative. Lubos knew his stuff big time , the history plus the contemporary happenings. I was so impressed by his preparedness for leading a tour. We went down narrow alleyways you, on your own, would never find. And something I have never experienced before, at the end of the tour, Lubos presented us with his custom made tourist information packet so we could further explore. Thanks, Lubos

      Competent, lively guided tour

      Trieste mit Lubos

      Ulrike_R, Jul 2024
      Lubos ist großartig! Wir hatten eine wirklich schöne und sehr informative Führung für unsere Familie durch Trieste mit Kaffee- und Eispause. Lubos ist sehr flexibel und hat die Tour für uns kindgerecht angepasst. Vielen Dank, lieber Lubos, für diesen wunderschönen Tag in Trieste!

      Trieste in poche ore

      Ignazio_M, Jul 2024
      Purtroppo, se non si prova questa escursione, non si può capire quanto brava, preparata e con elevata capacità di intrattenimento sia la guida. Due ore e mezza circa di cammino per Trieste, durante le quali ha saputo mantenere vivissima l'attenzione attraverso non solo la narrazione della storia cittadina, ma la descrizione dei palazzi, monumenti, della vita quotidiana e degli aneddoti locali Una particolare attenzione ha mostrato verso i bambini piccoli che partecipavano alla camminata, consegnando loro anche a fine escursione un libricino e del materiale informativo a noi. La preparazione, il garbo ed il sorriso, insieme all'attenzione di un ottimo caffè offerto, hanno reso davvero indimenticabile questa giornata.

      Triest - eine Reise wert

      Michaela_R, May 2024

      Ilaria_D, Apr 2024
      Il tour con Lobos, preparato , affabile e coinvolgente. La sosta al Caffè degli Specchi e la scoperta del capo B con shottino di cioccolata prima ... indimenticabile.

      Interessante Stadtführung in kleiner Gruppe

      Heike_S, Oct 2023
      Wir hatten die Tour zu zweit bei Lubos Dzuro gebucht. Es waren sehr informative und abwechslungsreiche Stunden. Auf unsere Wünsche ( fotografieren) oder Fragen ist Herr Dzuro immer sehr freundlich und kompetent eingegangen. Es war eine tolle Tour, von allem etwas dabei: ältere und neuere Geschichte, Architektur, Kirchen und Plätze, Kaffeehaus Besuch, Infos zur Küche und Sprache, Restaurants .., Zum Abschluss haben wir noch eine Mappe mit verschiedenen Informationen bekommen. Einfach super. Wir waren vormittags unterwegs und konnten uns am Nachmittag und Abend nochmals die Stellen anschauen, die uns besonders gut gefallen haben.
