Škocjan Caves, Lipica & Predjama castle (group of 4 max)

Slovenia is world-famous for its karst landscape. This Slovenian Underground tour combines UNESCO-listed caves, traditional karst heritage, and one of the country’s most dramatic castles into one unforgettable day.

We then continue to the incredible Predjama Castle, a medieval castle dramatically built into a 123-meter-high cliff, full of legends, hidden tunnels, and spectacular views. Group size is limited to a maximum of 4 guests for a personal experience. Larger groups are welcome as private tours.
