Wonderful time walking around the old town. Irina was great at sharing her knowledge about the history of the city. She has given so much insight about ljubljana and slovenia. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent
Wonderful tour. Sabina was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. It was a great overview of the city.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for another lovely review! Starting off with a city walk is such a fantastic way to get oriented, and we are so glad you had such a great experience with Sabina. Sabina will be delighted to hear your compliment! She has a wonderful way of bringing the local history and culture to life, making sure guests get a rich, well-rounded overview of the city. Thank you once again for taking the time to leave reviews for so many of your tours across Slovenia—from the mountains, caves, and coast to local wineries and city walks. It has been an absolute pleasure having you on our trips!

Relaxed and informative tour around the main sights of Ljubljana old city.
Enjoyable and informative tour around the old city, visiting numerous sights including the Dragon Bridge, outdoor market, St Nicholas cathedral, Preseren Square and the triple bridges with our local guide. We had a small group which was ideal as we were able to ask lots of questions and had time to stop and take photos. Our guide was very knowledgeable and clearly loves where she lives.
Response from the operator: A small group tour through Ljubljana’s historic center is easily the best way to get acquainted with the city! Having a local guide who genuinely loves her hometown makes iconic spots like Prešeren Square, the Triple Bridge, and the Dragon Bridge come alive with local lore, and that intimate group size gives you the perfect freedom to snap photos and ask questions without feeling rushed. Thank you for sharing another wonderful, detailed review! Your insights across Slovenia's capital, alpine lakes, mountain plateaus, coastal ports, and cave networks have provided such a complete and thoughtful guide for fellow travelers. Wishing you many more captivating city walks, passionate local guides, and unforgettable journeys on all your future adventures!

Good guide, but poorly executed tour!
Lea, the guide was very good. But this tour takes people from Ljubljana, as well as tourists who come for the day from Zagreb. If the latter is late (by45 mins in this case) it holds up the entire tour. Lea is not to blame, she tried her best!
Response from the operator: Lea sounds like a fantastic guide for handling a high-stress situation with grace, but waiting 45 minutes for a cross-border pickup from Zagreb is completely unacceptable on a scheduled day tour. That delay cascades through the whole day, cutting into precious site visits and throwing off the entire itinerary for everyone else who arrived on time. Streamlining inter-city connections or setting a strict cut-off time for late arrivals is a necessary operational fix to protect the group's experience. Thank you so much for sharing this important, constructive critique alongside your praise for Lea. Your full series of reviews—highlighting world-class guides, scenic highlights, and critical practical notes on group sizes, border delays, payment methods, and daypack prep—gives a truly complete and invaluable picture of traveling in Slovenia. We wish you punctual transfers, smooth journeys, and amazing adventures on all your future travels!

Great Tour

Response from the operator: Sabina will be so delighted to hear your praise! Having a guide who effortlessly weaves interesting local facts into the journey makes exploring Slovenia's scenery so much richer. Thank you so much for taking the time to share another wonderful review! It has been an absolute pleasure following along with your journey and receiving your detailed feedback across all your Slovenian excursions—from the alpine lakes, coastal towns, and castle views to the subterranean caves and mountain walks. We wish you safe, smooth, and unforgettable travels on every adventure that lies ahead!

Ljubljana 2Hours Walking Tour with Local Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ljubljana.
How much does Ljubljana 2Hours Walking Tour with Local Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $23 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ljubljana usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ljubljana 2Hours Walking Tour with Local Guide take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ljubljana is not rushed.
Is Ljubljana 2Hours Walking Tour with Local Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 144 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ljubljana, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ljubljana 2Hours Walking Tour with Local Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ljubljana 2Hours Walking Tour with Local Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ljubljana 2Hours Walking Tour with Local Guide?
+
Around 50 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ljubljana can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ljubljana and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ljubljana 2Hours Walking Tour with Local Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ljubljana within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ljubljana?
+
On Outty we rank every Ljubljana experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Slovenia in One Day: Small-Group Bled, Postojna Cave & Predjama, Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle - Entrance Tickets Included, Ljubljana Small Group Food Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ljubljana?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ljubljana?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Ljubljana 2Hours Walking Tour with Local Guide?
+
Included: Professional English-speaking local guide; and 2h walking tour of Ljubljana old town. Not included: 1h Guided Ljubljanica river guided cruise. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Ljubljana 2Hours Walking Tour with Local Guide?
+
In front of TodoinSlovenia store Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Ljubljana 2Hours Walking Tour with Local Guide offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ljubljana 2Hours Walking Tour with Local Guide?
+
