Walk Ljubljana’s Old Town with private guide Peter Mucnik, visiting the market, cathedral, Plečnik’s bridges, Preseren Square, Dragon Bridge, and more.

“We had a very enjoyable walking tour around Ljubljana’s Old Town with Peter, who is knowledgeable about his city and is happy to share his knowledge with you. It was a private tour, so there were just the two of us, and so we could set the pace which was nice. Streets, buildings, statues, river, … Peter knows it all! The tour ended with a ride up the funicular to Ljubljana castle, and a tour of the castle itself. We highly recommend Peter and his tour. Our tour started at 3:30pm which meant that one or two of the local shops had closed by the time we got to them…”
