Tour description

Most visitors walk Ljubljana. On this tour, we ride it.

⭐ Small group experience – maximum 10 people - This means more time for stories, questions and a relaxed ride through the city.

Discover Ljubljana, the European Green Capital, on authentic vintage Rog bicycles, the iconic bikes produced in Ljubljana during the Yugoslav era.

Together with Primož, a passionate local guide and sports enthusiast, we will explore the green heart of the city, elegant architecture, and fascinating stories that shaped Ljubljana.

This is not a classic tourist route. It is a local experience, combining history, culture, nature, and everyday Ljubljana. Besides the main landmarks, we will also cycle through hidden corners and green paths that most visitors never discover.
