While riding on the cave train, everyone will be fascinated by the cave's might and its karst phenomena. We will continue our trip and reach the unique and largest cave castle in the world - the Predjama Castle, which has been dominating perched high up in the cliff for 800 years.

I absolutely loved this tour!! Everything was on time, we were able to see everything at a great pace, the van was comfortable, and our tour guide, Mat, was the best! I had a wonderful time. The places we visited were stunning, and I definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to Slovenia who is short on time and wants to make the most of it.
A unique cave castle, beautiful Lake Bled, and friendly guide (David). Would do again, make sure you swim in the lake. Not often you'll get to do that with the Alps and a castle in the background.
Recommended ! The guide was very communicative and informative! Postojna cave is a true hidden gem! So is Lake bled !
Samir was a great and informative tour guide. He answered all questions and knew so much about Slovenia. The 3 stops on the tour were perfect, really beautiful and all so interesting. Would highly recommend! It’s a great way to see some amazing parts of Slovenia.
The guide was very nice. He really knew well and was extremely nice and helpful. The places were excellent. But, we had a full day trip, and on the way back from Bled he was forced to stop at Ljubljana and 2 stops to pickup people for the afternoon part. That resulted in a reduction of time available for us at Predjama Castle. We were told we had time to either est or enter and see Castle. He even told us that the trip normally has time to do both. But the 2 stops to pickup new people easily took away between 45-60 minutes. UNACCEPTABLE. We didn’t pay for that. We missed the castle because we were starving and there was supposed to be time for both. The guide confirmed it.
We had a fantastic experience on our one-day tour to Lake Bled and Postojna Cave in July. Destination were absolutely beautiful but what truly made trip special was our guide Davorin (DJ). He was knowledgeable, professional, friendly and had a great sense of humour. He shared interesting information about Slovenia,its history and culture. He was also very organised,ensuring everything ran smoothly. I highly recommend this team!
Great experience Tour guide was fabulous On time and punctual. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Great experience
The experiences are incredible, although the extra costs we have to pay are higher than the ones mentioned in the activity description and emails and watsup we receive. The guide was very good.
We loved the experience, our guide Samir was incredible, he had a lot of patience, was very kind, and told us a lot of useful information about the places visited! The tour is highly recommended!
This tour was such a great experience during my short stay in Slovenia. Matt was our tour guide and he was phenomenal. His safe driving and excellent explanations of what we were going to see were made the tour comfortable and enjoyable. I couldn’t say there was one stop that was a highlight for me, as I enjoyed each one. Don’t skip out on taking this day tour if staying in Ljubljana.
