Excellent tour with Jura. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Great commentary whilst driving. Safe and comfortable throughout. Plenty of time at each stop and clear instructions. Thank you for a great tour.
Alina was fantastic and I felt like I was traveling with a friend rather than a guide. She made sure each person was taken care of and enough time for everything. She was knowledgeable but didn’t overwhelm us with info. It was the perfect combination of guidance and time on your own Bled is a “can’t miss” spot in Slovenia and I highly recommend taking time to swim in the lake. Its tranquility is second to none. I almost opted out of going inside Predjama castle. I’ve probably seen 100 castles and “if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all”. Don’t miss Predjama Castle because it was unique. I’ve never seen a castle built into a cave and I highly recommend it. I didn’t know what to expect with Postojna Cave but all I can say is “Wow!”; it was a once in a lifetime experience. Both castle and cave were very crowded but this is likely the result of high season. I completely recommend this tour and this tour company.
Brilliant and informative guide and fantastic places to visit - both highly unique experiences!
Mat was a great guide. Super funny and also relaxed. The tour was amazing, the castle and the caves.
I am so glad I went on this tour! I was almost going to take a bus/train to the caves and castle on my own but when I saw it would take three hours decided to book this tour on a whim. My guide provided great information about Ljubljana and Slovenia on the way to the caves and castle which you can't get when you travel on your own. I think the time in the castle was exactly the right amount and while I thought the tour was long when booking it, it actually worked out to be exactly right. Our guide was kind enough to take photos for us at the castle too. I also almost didn't go in the castle but it is also worth the extra €10/20. I really appreciated the drive through towns on the way because it's also difficult to know where to go when you drive yourself. Great tour and worth the price just for the local knowledge alone.
Alina was a wonderful guide, she gave us so much information on the local history as well as the places we were visiting. Can highly recommend.
Matic was a very engaging guide which made the visits even better. And of course both stops were worth the visit.
It was a great day! The castle was fun, but for me the highlight was the cave. Along with seeing the cave itself, we got to meet some of the blind cave salamaders!
Perfect experience and our guide Alina is amazing and excellent expertise in history. I strongly advise
Lake Bled, Postojna Cave, and Predjama Castle were all great, but DJ really made the day special. The weather was pouring, and he got completely soaked, yet he stayed positive, energetic, and attentive throughout the tour. He genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great experience. Thanks, DJ, for your professionalism and dedication despite the rain. Highly recommended!
