Description
Visit two of Slovenia’s top attractions in one afternoon on this small-group, half-day tour from Ljubljana. Begin at Predjama Castle, perched on a cliff high above the beautiful Inner Carniola region. Explore the chambers and stairwells and learn about the castle’s most famous resident, Erazem of Predjama. Then, continue to Postojna Cave. Ride a mini-train deep into the famous cave and tour the ethereal network of stalactites, stalagmites and caverns with a local guide. Numbers limited to eight people, ensuring a personalized experience.
Postojna Cave is the best-known cave in the world. It is also the greatest tourist attraction in Slovenia and one of the world's largest Karst monuments and it is a must-see attraction when visiting Slovenia. You will start the tour with a unique and adventurous ride with a special train in one of the most diverse cave systems in the world, with 21 km of passages, galleries and magnificent halls, which offer an unparalleled experience of the underground world and a large diversity of underground animals – including the world-famous human fish (proteus anguinus). Beside Postojna Cave you will also have the chance to visit Predjama Castle. Our guide will show you this magnificent medieval castle perched high up in a vertical cliff in the idyllic village of Predjama. It is an interesting and romantic sight throughout the year: in the spring and summer its surroundings are abundant with blossoms and flowers, in the autumn it is clad in the colours of surrounding forests and it is at its most enchanting in the winter when the surrounding area is covered in snow.

Best vacation

The most beautiful place I have seen, friendly people great guides best Ice cream. Thoroughly enjoyed every experience from lake bled to the traditional dinner with entertainment
great tour

Great tour - much more information about general Slovenian history and culture than I was expecting. Everything went very smoothly and the van was quite comfortable. Our group of six ended up having the tour to ourselves, which was an added bonus. The entrance fees were separate, but it still ended up costing about the same as what the tours that included them were charging. All in all, a great experience.
Worthwhile

Well done! Our tour guide was flexible with our goals and I am so glad we did the whole cave tour and the whole castle tour. The inside of the castle was so cool and the cave was breathtaking.
Cool day

It was fascinating and cold. Driver was great. Easy pick up and he gave us some basic info. A good half day tour.
Great tour to see amazing and unique places, but expensive

Great tour - was nice to have just 8 people in the van when most others were massive coaches, although unfortunately you still end up with the coach loads of people when visiting the sites, but that is tourism nowadays. However, both the cave and castle were amazing and unique places and worth the visit, even if it was rather expensive (the tour cost was transport only, we had to pay admissions too).
