Hi, I'm Tomaž! Born and raised right here in beautiful Slovenia, I have spent years uncovering the secrets of Celje's architecture and history. I’m also a passionate traveler at heart, having lived in five different countries during academic exchanges abroad! These global experiences taught me exactly what makes a tour unforgettable. Now, I’m back to share the history and secrets of Celje through a local’s lens. I love sharing our unique blend of green spaces, legends, and local café culture, so come and let me show you why Celje is so amazing!

Tour description
Have you thought you’ve seen Slovenia? Wait until you walk through the "City of Counts."
Join me on a journey through time in Slovenia’s third-largest city. A place that was once called the "Second Troy" by the Romans and served as the seat of the most powerful noble family in Slovenian history.
From tragic love stories that rival Romeo and Juliet to a literal "city beneath the city," Celje is packed with secrets that even most locals overlook.
🌟 Why book this tour?
✅ The "Real" Slovenian Pace: While we Slovenians usually move fast, this tour is all about the relaxed stroll. We’ll take our time for stories, photos, and deep dives into the legends.
✅ Small Groups: No massive crowds here! I keep my groups small so we can chat like friends and I can answer every single one of your questions.
✅ The Hidden Layer: We won’t just walk on the streets; we’ll talk about the Roman metropolis buried just inches beneath your feet!

Finding me is easy! We meet at Krekov trg, which is located directly across the street from the Celje Train Station (Železniška postaja Celje).
