City tours with a twist
You can tour many Slovenian towns and cities with a local tour guide. These guides will show you the most fascinating places and share interesting stories about how locals lived in the past and how they live now. Some cities located by rivers or on the coast can be discovered from the water, too – via tourist boats, traditional rafts, or on modern stand-up paddle boards. You can take guided tours by bicycle and ride to places of interest. And some tours are even more memorable due to their unusual character and unique concept. We offer some exciting opportunities to experience towns and cities in a unique way.
