Urban Adventures has launched a new tour in Ljubljana

(TRAVPR.COM) UK - March 31st, 2014 - Global day tour company, Urban Adventures has launched a new tour in Slovenian capital, Ljubljana - which with a name that means 'beloved', a language that is uniquely suited to lovers, picture-perfect views and delicious, locally-produced wines, can lay claim to being Europe's most romantic, but underrated city. 

Ljubljana Bites & Sights (€55 including tastings and drinks) explores Europe's hidden gem on foot with a local guide, stopping to sample local produce and specialties that are hard to find anywhere else in the world including wines, cheeses, charcuterie, schnapps, and a cake that is named after Roman Ljubljana.

Travellers will learn how life has changed since Slovenia, once part of former Yugoslavia, became independent; hear tales of local Romantic poets and their lovers; and discover why Slovenian, with its special grammatical form of expression for pairs and couples, can truly be called the language of love.

Global Sales Manager, Klaudija Janzelj, who is from Ljubljana and will lead the first tours herself, says:  "With fewer tourists  than most European capitals, you really can get off-the-beaten-path in Ljubljana. We'll be leaving the castle to the bus tours, and instead our new Urban Adventure will lead travellers through the city's hidden streets and most picturesque neighbourhoods, to discover the flavours and stories that make Ljubljana a truly special city."

Urban Adventures offers unique local experiences in more than 90 cities around the world. Its tours are led by local guides who are eager to show travellers the very best their city has to offer.  

The first departure of Ljubljana Bites & Sights takes place on 22 April.
