THE CITY

Private Ljubljana old‑town sightseeing

Short, guided private walks let you cover the pocket‑size capital efficiently: a 2–3 hour private old‑town sightseeing option is offered as part of the tailored program.

THE TRAILS

Mountain biking on Golovec

Ride from the centre of Ljubljana to the handmade Golovec trails park with a licensed MTB guide; full‑suspension bikes and gear rental are available and a typical all‑mountain tour lasts about 3–4 hours over gravel, singletrack and urban paths.

What the day feels like

A private day shaped around your interests

This is a private, extra activity program: you’ll meet a licensed guide, outline the activity you want, then head out — whether that means a brief old‑town tour, a river paddle that frames the city from the water, a 3–4 hour mountain bike outing, or a longer cave or Lake Bled excursion — with logistics and organization handled by the operator.
