Meet Your Guides

Hi! 👋 Great to see you here.

 

We’re a small team of local captains and river hosts who know Ljubljana from both land and water. We love showing travelers this beautiful city from a relaxed, scenic angle, gently cruising along the Ljubljanica River while pointing out all the highlights you didn’t know you were looking for.

 

We created this boat tour for guests who want a calm, comfortable way to see the city’s architecture, bridges, riverside life, and views that feel completely different from a walking tour. You can ask questions anytime, take photos whenever you like, and enjoy the ride at a slow, pleasant pace.

 

Together we glide past iconic sights like the Triple Bridge, Butcher’s Bridge, Plečnik’s Covered Market, and green river-bank parks, all while hearing friendly, easy-to-understand stories about how these places came to be.

 

If you enjoy clear explanations, a relaxed atmosphere, and a scenic break from walking around, this tour is for you. Spots fill up quickly in high season, so if it sounds right, we’d love to welcome you on board.
