This tour started early and transportation was on a smaller bus which we preferred. Going earlier definitely was a plus before crowds got there. Loved our guide Maja. She shared some delightful stories from the past and shared insights into current culture and life in Slovenia. Highly recommend this tour company!!! Far exceeded our expectations.

The cave itself doesn’t impress me as its history. It was used to be a den of the famous robber who is praised as Robin Hood of Slovenia before becoming the palace. You will enter the beautiful palace before going to the cave where the thieves used to hide and resist attackers being entertained with story of their defence. The Postojna cave is beautiful but be informed it’s not world’s largest any more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_S%C6%A1n_%C4%90o%C3%B2ng
Such fascinating history of the Castle. Hard to imagine people living like this!
Cave was beautiful and amazing a day to remember for sure!!
Lots of uneven steep steps in the castle.
Long walk through cave for some folks!
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!!
The caves are out of this world! I’ve never seen anything like it. Totally worth it. The castle is interesting but the caves were outstanding.
You do not want to miss the caves as they are magnificent & unmatched! Clara was an excellent coordinator sharing her knowledge and personal experiences of Slovenia on the drive to and from.
Excellent experience! Definitely a highlight of my stay and not to be missed. The castle in the cave is very unique and everyone is given an audio device for the self-guided tour. Same with the cave tour. Lots of walking but worth it! Warning: Lots of stairs and walking, so those with mobility issues should consider carefully.
Mical our guide was so good very accomodating and kind we enjoyed The Castle and The Caves magical..
Postonja Cave is not to be missed. And the castle is very unique. We’ve traveled a lot and never seen anything quite like either experience. Tour guide was great and shared a lot of info on life in Slovenia. However, Van needed seat belt and air conditioning repaired. Also the van interior was not cleaned after previous days tour.
Credit to Tilen our guide for an entertaining ride. The Castle was quaint but lots of climbing involved. The Caverns were amazing largest and best I have seen.
Wonderful from start to finish! Our guide was the kindest person. She was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained.

You continue to ask me how my tour was. Tour guide was great! Overall the cave was beautiful but extremely hard for me to walk uphill because I have a disability with my one leg.
Again I was charged twice for this trip. When will I get a refund for being charged twice?!
There is a lot of uphill walking in the cave. I have a disability with my leg and found it difficult to walk uphill.
Also, to repeat myself I have been charged twice for this trip. I paid early and obviously it was not honored because an automatic charge came two days before the trip. When will I receive a refund for being charged twice?!?!
Tour operator very difficult to deal with and goes back on their word. They were inflexible and not accommodating.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We aim to maintain clear and fair policies for all travelers, so we are sorry for the frustration surrounding this cancellation.
When the date change was requested after the free cancellation window, we were happy to offer a discounted rebooking rate. However, because payment to confirm the new slot was not completed, the reservation was canceled in accordance with our booking terms. We regret that we couldn't resolve this together and wish you the best on your future travels.
A must to do in Slovenia. Fabulous Predjama castle built into a cave and probably the biggest caves in the world at Postojna
Well organized tour with excellent tour guide and driver. Learned about Slovenia and its history in addition.
Amazing value for the cost.

Our guide was Luka, he was an excellent communicator and make an exceptional effort for all members of the group to get to know one another. All information was presented in an engaging manner. At the end of the tour Luka was generous with his time and provided us with useful information on other places of interest in Slovenia.
Well done Luka from the couple from Ireland.

Our tour guide Jan was super insightful and knowledgeable about Slovenia and answered any questions we had. He kept us updated throughout the trip and what to expect which was really helpful. The caves and the castle was a great experience and would highly recommend. P.s Jan we found the banana ice cream!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Jan is going to love this review—and he'll be thrilled to know you finally tracked down that banana ice cream! 🍌🍦
We’re so glad his insightful commentary and clear updates made your trip to the caves and castle so seamless and memorable. Thank you so much for traveling with us and sharing such a fun review!
I did the 2pm departure. Should be done the earlier one
Giving this a mid review because: 1 Too many people inside the castle to get good photos inside and enjoy it. Lots of kids and families clogging the narrow passages. 2 bad traffic on the highway made us late so the whole trip after that was rushed. 3 we arrived at like 4pm and the sun sets behind the castle so photos/ videos come out bad. I should have arrived in the morning.
The cave was a great experience though.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for leaving your honest feedback!
It's completely understandable why a afternoon departure felt frustrating—navigating crowded, narrow castle hallways packed with tour groups while feeling rushed by unexpected highway traffic is definitely not the ideal experience. That backlit afternoon sun behind the castle can also make getting a good photo tricky, so your tip about booking the morning tour for better lighting and smaller crowds is spot-on advice for future travelers!
We are really glad that the cave experience still turned out to be a highlight of your trip despite the timing hiccups.
We truly appreciate you sharing your experience with us, as candid reviews like yours help us improve scheduling and give future guests a clearer picture of what to expect. Thank you again for traveling with us!
My experience on the castle and saves tour was wonderful. We were allotted plenty of time to explore the castle while listening to the audio guides and were able to skip the line to board the train into the caves. Vladimir was very informative and entertaining, giving us plenty of Slovenian facts on our way out. Pick up and drop off was very continent and the timing of the day (8am-2pm) was perfect. Would highly recommend
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Vladimir is going to be so happy to read this!
We are delighted that everything ran like clockwork for you—from the convenient pick-up and seamless skip-the-line cave train access, to having plenty of time with the audio guides at the castle. It's great to hear that Vladimir kept you entertained with fun Slovenian facts along the way, too!
Thank you so much for traveling with us and for sharing such a wonderful recommendation!
Glad we made a decision to take a day tour. It was really convenient and well organised. Meeting point was close to our hotel, on the way to castle Ozbe was telling us interesting stories about Erazem and lots of info about Ljubljana. My mother used to have car sickness, Ozbe was such a good driver she didn’t sick at all. Postonja cave definitely worth a visit!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Ožbe is going to be over the moon to read this review!
It's wonderful to hear how convenient and well-organized the day was for you, but the real highlight is hearing that his smooth driving kept your mother comfortable and sickness-free the whole way—that is a massive win on those roads!
From the fascinating legends of Erazem at the castle to the impressive depths of Postojna Cave, we are thrilled that you both had such a memorable experience. Thank you so much for traveling with us and taking the time to share your review!
A great trip. Castle was quite busy in the afternoon. Loved the caves. Guide new lots of information.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
We are so glad you had a great trip!
While Predjama Castle can definitely get a bit lively and crowded in the afternoons, we are thrilled that the breathtaking caves and your guide's wealth of knowledge made it such a memorable day.
Thank you so much for traveling with us and for taking the time to share your feedback!
Amazing tour by Luca of the castle and cave. Really enjoyed it. He really Guided us properly with the times. Very friendly.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Luka will be thrilled to hear this!
Having a friendly guide who manages the timing perfectly makes a huge difference—especially when navigating both Predjama Castle and the caves without feeling rushed.
Thank you so much for traveling with us and for taking the time to share your review!
It's rushed... you definitely get the sense you're on a schedule. If you want a no frills, get in and get out tour, then this one is for you. Would have been nice to have had a little bit to peruse the shops.... and bring food or eat before-- they don't allow time to get anything.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback.
We are sorry to hear that the day felt overly rushed and that you didn't get enough breathing room to browse the shops or grab a bite to eat. While navigating packed schedules and strict entry times can be a challenge, we always want our guests to feel like they are enjoying the experience rather than just rushing through it.
We appreciate your practical advice for future travelers regarding food, and we'll certainly take your notes on the pacing into account to see how we can make the schedule feel a bit less frantic. Thanks again for letting us know!
