We are not just experts in what we do, we are also Axeperts. Throwing axes? Huh? That was our first thought too, but once you try it nothing compares to the feeling of when the axe sticks into the wood at the center of the target. The program, which we call a Show, takes 90 minutes. Up to six players can play on each target. If you come in alone or in two, prepare to meet new people. We combine teams so that we can provide a comprehensive program and the full experience of axe throwing. The program is conducted under the guidance of experienced instructors, from presentation, rules and security procedures, demonstration of the right throwing, through fun competitions in various games, and a final tournament who will determine the winner. Later, you can celebrate the results in the social area.

The unity and harmony of the 16 lakes here and their rare natural and cultural value is not only famous throughout Croatia, but also worldwide; earning this remarkable national park a coveted place on UNESCO's list of World Heritage sites. The path takes us first across Gornja Jezera (Upper Lakes),a system of 12 lakes separated by travertine barriers. Then it's time for a peaceful boat ride towards the second area called Donja Jezera (Lower Lakes), placed in a limestone canyon. Wherever you are in Pltivice it's easy to see why its travertine marble formations are such an extraordinary natural phenomenon. The barriers, sills and other forms created in these lakes, karst rivers and streams are stil an ongoing process that shapes the wonderful landscapes that make your walk through the park so enjoyable. Its these same travertine formations that have and are still creating the  numerous magnificent waterfalls here. This constant evolution makes the Plitvice Lakes never look the same.

This tour is definitely different for many reasons: - it is run by locals and locals only. We are not only licensed tour guides but have also lived in Ljubljana for decades and know the city like our own pocket. - most of the guides have high formal education, and are glad to explain more also about economy, art, politics, contemporary social issues and how people of Slovenia live today. - the tour is a private tour. Which means we dedicate our time and knowledge to you and to you only. It also means you do not have to share the attention and squeeze with 30 other tourists, which often happens at "free" or other non-private tours. - we are aware of negative impacts of tourism on local environment. We will always present you locally made products and not products of multinational companies and will introduce you to sustainable tourism practices in Ljubljana. - the tour can be customized. - we will not bore you with numbers and years of every laid brick. The tour is also fun :).

Have you ever dreamed of a bike tour where you can crush amazing forest trails and explore a charming European capital, all in one session? Slovenia has earned its reputation as one of Europe’s premier mountain biking destinations. But here is the local secret: Ljubljana is the only European capital where a high-quality MTB trail park is located just a few minutes from the city's cobblestone streets. The lush forests of the Golovec hills hide a network of incredible, handmade mountain bike trails built and maintained by the local community. We are the first to offer a unique urban-to-trail experience that starts at the water's edge and ends in the heart of the Old Town. Forget the hotel lobby—we meet at Špica, the city’s most beautiful riverside embankment, where the Ljubljanica river splits and the green soul of the city begins.
