In this wonderful trip through Slovenia, specifically through Ljubljana and Kamnik, with the pleasant and excellent company of Mr. Rok from the "Vitamia" company, expressing in a few words the beauty of the places, cities, villages, forests, the walks, and boat rides is very difficult, but in simple words, I return to my home country, Argentina, filled with emotions, tranquility, and happiness that I will always keep in my heart! Thank you very much for all this time shared.
José, muchísimas gracias por tu comentario. Me pone muy contento que te haya gustado tanto este viaje de unos días por Eslovenia
We had a wonderful private walking tour with Rok. He is very knowledgeable about his city and Slovenia’s history, geography and culture. He also has a good sense of humour and we enjoyed our time with Rok. The tour gave us a great overview of Ljubljana and we enjoyed sampling local food.
Thank you for booking our Ljubljana tour & other daily tours as well. It was a great honour to have you as a client here.
Sweet short and not too overwhelming tour of Ljubljana. Guide was punctual, polite and funny - knowledgeable of the city but didn't go into too much detail. 10/10
Dear Vladimir, thank your very much for a nice comment. I am happy to hear that you have liked the tour.
The 3-hour guided city tour in Ljubljana was successful overall. Our guide was friendly and very well informed, which gave us a deep insight into the history of the city. However, the depth of detail in some passages may have been a little too much for those less interested in history. Time passed quickly despite the detailed explanations, and the short coffee break provided a pleasant interruption. We have discovered many fascinating sights of this beautiful city and can only recommend the tour!
Vielen Dank fuer Ihren netten Komentar.
It really was a pleasant surprise this walk, to get to know more about the flirty and neat Lubiana and to impress us by the deep historical and cultural knowledge that Rok has. In addition to knowing the city, we were able to talk and deepen the conversation about details of the history of Slovenia and its neighbors. Rok is really very Pro and prepared, and Lubiana is lovely!
Gracias por su Lindo comentario. Intento hacerlo lo mejor que puedo
The visit to the city of Ljubljana was amazing. Rok guided us through the most emblematic tourist sites of the city. Their explanations are very clear and have a lot of historical, geographical and cultural information. You can tell that Rok is an expert, passionate about his work and able to guide travelers. He recommended places, also talked about local cuisine and accompanied us to a tower with beautiful panoramic views of the beautiful capital of Slovenia.
Nos gustaría agradecerle por su agradable comentario. Gracias
5 of us did a private Food and Wine tour in Ljubljana, and had an amazing time! First, Rok is an amazing guide and SUPER knowledgeable about the history of Slovenia, the City and he easily wove the history into the food and wine. The food and wine were amazing as well! Rok lead us from place to place as we experienced the history of the city (and country) chronologically. He was super engaged, answered all of our questions (which were numerous), and didn't hesitate to give specific's as to regional dialects, foods, and historical points of interest. He ended up running over and leading us to a few more places because we were so inquisitive. I really can't express just how amazing he was as a guide. Bottom line, ASK FOR ROK!
Thank you Ross for participating in the food tour of Ljubljana and for a lovely review. I hope you enjoy your staying in Slovenia.
Wonderful guide! Knows everything there is to know about Slovenia, Ljubljana + much else. Speeks five languages including excellent English. Happy to recommend.
I am very glad to have met you. As already said, I like to debate with educated people. I am glad that I was also able to address well-known Swedish journalists.
The morning started off with a misunderstanding because the meeting point description, per TripAdvisor, didn’t match the address of the meeting point. The description was in the Slovenian language which we don’t speak, so we clicked on the address, it came up in google maps and walked to that meeting location. If we had understood the language, we would have realized we should meet at the anchor, although we didn’t have the address for it. Our guide contacted us only 30 minutes before the start of the tour but I wasn’t notified to check messages. I expected more care for a private tour. Our guide did a good job once we connected. We had wandered the beautiful city the previous day on our own, so it was interesting and informative to walk around again and have items of interest pointed out and explained. He was patient and it was good to learn about the evolution of the politics.
Dear Aimee, I regret that you and your husband had a problem finding the agreed place. I have already notified Viator-Tripadvisor about the error and they seem to have fixed the issue. I would like to thank you again for choosing our private tour and thank you for the good response regarding the guiding. I tried to do my best.
A lot of deep insights. Especially for people who are intrested in the history of the city. Very flexible. Flawless explanations in german. Was a pleasure!⁰
Vielen Dank. Es war toll euch kennenzulernen.
