About this experience
SEE, FEEL & TASTE Positive Vibes, People, Places, Food, Art... This locally guided boat & walking tour allows you to explore this unique city and cruise around whilst doing so! See the best Ljubljana's spots from the river (boat) ground (walking) and sky (skyscraper) point of view. We will sail with a beautiful licensed boat of Ljubljana which is spacious enough to feel comfortable and safe. The boat is open which will give you the true feeling of being one with the river and its beautiful surroundings, but it can be closed with panoramic windows as it can be cold or a bit rainy this time of year. For the other part of the tour, we'll walk through the beautiful Baroque old town, Art-Nouveau new town, Town Hall, Dragon Bridge, Farmers Market, and of course experience life of the local people. Last but not least, we will visit old skyscraper with its remarkable architecture and enjoy a panoramic view of Ljubljana from above the sky. Let's go for the extra (s)mile! :)

The group was too big
The tour was good, but the group was way too big. We wouldn’t have booked it, if we had known it. About 30 people, some times it was not easy to hear the tour guide explanations

Get a feel for Ljubljana
Excellent guide, very informative and communicated in an interesting way. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole tour and the sampling of local products. Excellent value for money and a good way to get a feel for Ljubljana.

Couple of hours well spent
Keleem (sorry if Ive spelt wrong) was a good mix of fun and knowledge gave us an insight in Slovenian Life Today and A Good History Lesson

City Walk
A nice, casual walk throughout the city. The boat ride was a nice way of seeing the city from the water.

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ljubljana boat cruise and walking tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ljubljana.
How much does Ljubljana boat cruise and walking tour cost?
+
Prices start at $24 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 boat cruise and walking tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 boat cruise and walking tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 363 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Ljubljana, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ljubljana boat cruise and walking tour?
+
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 boat cruise and walking tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Ljubljana boat cruise and walking tour?
+
Around 127 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ljubljana boat cruise and walking tour 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, Lake Bled and Bohinj with Savica waterfall included. 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.
