Postojna cave, Predjama castle and Lake bled from Ljubljana
Description
Experience three of Slovenia's most breathtaking attractions in a day. Enter the mysterious world of underground passages, caverns, and great halls, decorated with dripstones, translucent curtains, and pillars of fascinating shapes and colors. You will glimpse a million years in a single moment as you move through romantically lit rows of dark tunnels. Return into daylight and discover the astonishing Predjama castle, tremendously emerging from a stone wall above. It truly is a sight to see. Next flow over the emerald green waters of Lake Bled in one of the traditional 'Pletna' boats and discover Slovenia's only island. Topped with a charming little church and a magical wishing bell to ring your wishes to life, this spot has been making headlines for years and ranks among the most beautiful natural sights in the world. Enjoy a nice stroll around the lake, climb up to the mysterious Bled Castle, or treat yourself to a piece (or two) of delicious Bled cream cake.

Itinerary
It has taken millions of years for the clear waters of the River Pivka to create these 21km of underground labyrinth of passages, caverns and great halls, decorated with dripstones, translucent curtains and pillars of fascinating shapes and colors.
For centuries Predjama castle dramatically hanging in over a 100-meter-high vertical cliff, it's waiting for you to discover its legends and myths.
Often described as the ‘Image of Paradise’, the Alpine resort town of Bled will enchant you with its emerald-green lake, fairytale-like island and imposing castle reigning on top of a rocky cliff.

We had a great trip with Josip! He was so informative and entertaining. He made sure everyone was comfortable and had their questions answered. The van was very comfortable for the ride. (We did the half day trip without Lake Bled which was wonderful for us since we had already been to Bled.) Definitely recommend!
Well organised. Kept well to time. Excellent driver and good commentary. Very interesting trip and highly recommended.
It was an excellent experience, and our guide, David, was outstanding throughout the trip. He communicated the itinerary and information very clearly, shared interesting insights and hidden gems along the way, and ensured that everyone was well looked after. David’s professionalism, knowledge, and friendly approach made the day especially enjoyable, and it was a real pleasure spending time in his company. The scenery and views were absolutely breathtaking, making the entire experience truly memorable.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re so glad you had a perfect day and appreciate your recommendation.
David was an excellent guide. He told us lots of Slovenian history and relayed the story of Erasmus at the Predjama Castle. He stopped off at Haasberg Castle on route to Predjama as an added bonus to our tour. He was very inclusive and friendly, and made sure that everyone enjoyed the experience. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

Absolutely unbelievable day of amazing sight seeing! Both castles were incredible and unique and the cave with inside train ride was unlike any other I've been in. Truly great guide with relaxed attitude, adjusted our schedule to fit our desires so that we were never rushed, had a fantastic Slovenian meal by Lake Bled which was a great price and large portions, absolutely delicious. Overall it couldn't be beat. Very long day but hardly noticed.
Thank you for such an amazing review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the castles, the unique cave experience, and the meal by Lake Bled. It’s great to hear your guide made the day relaxed and tailored to you. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again!
This tour was very well organized. Our tour guide, David, was very sweet and good at communication both when it came to facts about Slovenia and keeping us informed about our next steps for the day. The caves were AMAZING! I would recommend packing some snacks/a lunch for the journey. I did and was very happy with that.
