Great tour -- but book direct! No need for TA. - Our guide Lucy did a fantastic job! I signed up for this tour last minute after a morning one on the Classic Ljubljana walking tour. The morning one I booked on TripAdvisor and the guide was nice enough to point out that I had already paid (I still tipped)... but this tour I booked directly on the Free Tour website -- which I recommend. Easy to do and doesn't pre-commit you to the tour fees to TripAdvisor

Vojka and the visit to the medieval Ljubliana - Our guide was Vojka. She is really very prepared on the medieval story. She could answer any questions and explained very clearly. Furthermore she has a great condition because she could climb up to the castle and talk at the same time. We highly recommend Vojka and the tour!!

do both free tours - We took two of their free tours, and the Old Town and Castle was our favorite. The other tour, the Classic Tour, was just OK for us; there was simply too many people on that tour, and so it felt too formulaic. But the Old Town and Castle Tour was smaller, and more interesting & fun. It lasted about 2 hours, and involved a little bit of walking. If you’re in Ljubjana for enough time, it’s good to do both tours as they cover different time periods and different sightseeing stops.
