Itinerary
We usually starts our tours from King Tomislav Square if you didn't request accommodation or other pick up location.
Predjama Castle is located in the vicinity of the Postojna Cave and is the largest cave castle in the world. For over 800 years it has been guarding a rock face, 123 metres high. Mysterious underground tunnels connect it with the cave directly beneath. The castle, which has also been a film location, offered refuge to its legendary owner Erazem Predjamski in the 15th century. This robber knight resisted a siege for over a year in his castle with its incredible appearance and location. Visitors can take a bus between the Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle in order to see both of these attractions.
The picturesque image of the centre of Ljubljana has been marked by different historic periods and most notably by the works of the world-famous architect Jože Plečnik. We will take a walk through the Ljubljana Old Town.
Postojna Cave is the only karst cave with a railway, which was built more than 140 years ago. The unique tourist train will take you to the underground network of karst corridors, galleries and halls. During an hour-and-a-half-long guided tour, you will learn about all of the most important karst features: the largest, 16-metre-high stalagmite known as the Skyscraper, the crystal white symbol of Postojna Cave – the Brilliant, the oldest underground post office in the world and the most famous underground animal – the olm or the human fish.

Excellent guide that picked me up at my hotel. She’s very personable, and really plans the entire day around your schedule. Plus knows the good spots for lunch and shopping. I’d suggest bringing your own headphones for the castle portion of the tour.
This was a lovely tour! Be careful though because someone has written a fake review - you DON'T get to see lake Bled. You have enough time for POSTOJNA caves and the unique experience of the little train (mind you, tickets are not included) and enough time for dinner in Ljubljana! There was some delay in the communication with the agency and also our driver arrived 15-20' late because it was raining and nobody informed us which was worrisome but all's well that ends well.
Over all it was a great experience and Milan, our tour guide, definitely contributed to its success.
Beatriz, thank you for your review. We are happy to be your hosts :) safe travels

Thank you for your review and your patience and cooperation during our tour :) It was a pleasure. :)
This was a great private tour. Our guide was wonderful and the convenience of the private car was well worth the price. It was definitely a full day. We toured Lake Bled, Postonja Caves, and Ljubljana. We received great recommendations at each stop on what to do and where to eat. Would highly recommend!
Thank you for the kind review :) if you come back, you know where to find us ;)
WOW - What a day! Truly spectactular experience - extremely personal and very welcoming from the Get-Go. Our guide, Tanja, made us feel immediately at ease whilst we settled down for the drive towards Slovenia. We were expecting to become part of a larger group tour however, the personal touch (it was just the pair of us & Tanja) made a huge difference to the overall experience. We found Tanja to be extremely knowledgeable on a variety of subjects (not just relevant to the tour ie Brexit) and more than happy to answer any questions we had. POSTOJNA Caves were amazing. Our initial decent into the caves is by mini train for about 12 mins, at which point, we disembarked for the walk of approx 2 kms which includes some steps climbs and a rather daunting "Russian" Bridge between the Old & The New Caves. Next we drove onto Predjama Castle. This is believed to be the largest Cave Castle in the World. Tanja joined us for this tour. However, it was clearly obviously that Tanja was also extremely knowledgeable about the history of this location. For the 2nd time on the tour, we were both scared to cross another bridge, joining the current Cave Castle to the remains of the original cave castle behind it. You dont need much imagination to visualise what life would have been like in that place over the centuries. Next we drove to the final destination on the tour - LJUBLJANA Old Town. A beautiful tiny city where Tanja gave us a bit more of the history before recommending a Slovenian Restaurant serving traditional Slovenian food for a late lunch. And then - back to Zagreb (where we slept on the journey back whilst safe in the knowledge that Tanja wasnt). Overall - an amazing experience with a truly personal touch. Thank you very much Tanja.
Very friendly, punctual, attentive guide. Good driver, clean car. Receptive to our requests, helpful. I recommend it.
Gracias por su comentario. :) Tanja
