The private Ljubljana culinary tour is a three-hour guided food experience in the Old Town of Ljubljana, Slovenia, offered through the byFood marketplace and led by local guides listed on byfood.com. The operator's years in business are not stated in the listing, and the meeting point is given at booking, in the Old Town, 1000 Ljubljana. As a private tour, the experience is arranged for a single group rather than shared with strangers, which suits families, couples, small friend groups and visitors who prefer to set their own pace. The route concentrates on Old Town restaurants rather than market stalls, so the focus is on sit-down tastings of Slovenian cuisine in venues close to the Ljubljanica river and the pedestrian streets around the Triple Bridge. According to the listing, the tour includes five dishes, five drinks and a private guide, giving a balanced progression that is mainly savoury with room for a regional dessert or sweet pairing depending on the restaurants chosen. The guide explains the dishes, the regional influences on Slovenian cooking and the history of the city while walking between stops. Pricing is on a private-group basis, so the total depends on group size; the reseller shows an optional extra tasting at about €42 (~$46) per person, and visitors should confirm the total price, any additional charges and the cancellation terms on the booking page. Transport between venues is on foot, and gratuities are not described as included. Group size is flexible within the private format, the guide speaks the language selected at booking, which is normally English, and the pace is relaxed with time to talk at each table. Dietary substitutions are not specified in the item data, but the private format makes adjustments more practical, so vegetarians, vegans and guests with allergies should state their needs when booking. The compact Old Town keeps walking distances short, and the tour ends near the central sights, so guests can continue to the castle or the riverside promenade afterwards.
