Postojna Caves and Predjama Castle Tour from Ljubljana

Ljubljana, Slovenia

On this day we take you to the biggest and worldwide known Slovenian cave system - the Postojna caves. A two million years old and 21 km long system of subterranean caves is one of the most easily accessible network of underground caves in the world. A ride by electrical train will be followed by a guided walk through a series of cave halls with drop stones, pillars and translucent curtains that create unforgettable impressions. The underworld system is a home of the mysterious, unique and rare amphibian Proteus Anguinus, or human fish as it is popularly called here.

Only 9 km away stands one of the most interesting baroque castles of Slovenia, the Predjama castle. It hangs dramatically in the middle of 123 m high rocky cliff.

Very nice tour. Our guide gave us a lot of history of Slovenia. The caves and castle were great. I wish the tour would have stopped at a local restaurant for lunch though.

The whole tour was excellent and the caves in particular are fantastic.

We found our trip into Postojna Caves fascinating, the sheer size and vastness of the caves was amazing. The train journey was fun. Predjama Castle is one-of-a-kind, we have seen many castles on various trips but never one built into a cliff! Well worth a visit.

We had a wonderful trip to the Postojna Caves and Predjama Castle on June 22nd 2011. We were 2 of a small group of 5 which in itself was excellent. Our guide, Tomasz, collected us from our hotel punctually and he was entertaining, engaging and very knowledgeable throughout the trip displaying great enthusiasm for his profession. The caves are simply stunning - never seen anything quite like them and maybe never will again! The castle is beautiful with such a dramatic setting and surprisingly larger that I expected. I would highly recommend this joint tour to anyone visiting Slovenia, especially if you only have time to make one organised tour. These 2 jewels are perhaps a little difficult to accomplish independently without your own transport whereas many other destinations in Slovenia do not have this issue. A great tour - a great guide - hvala lepa! :)

The caves were interesting but pretty crowded. Be aware that it is cold during the train ride. I did love the castle thanks to our tour guide.

Review by: JINNY Z	June 2011
The caves are definitely more interesting than the castle which is something extra to kill the time.

I was so impressed that, a;though I was the only participant, the trip went ahead. My guide, Bine Avgustin, was one of the best guides that I have ever had. He was obviously passionate about his country and its wonderful sites. He was extremely professional. I thank him and would recommend him widely.

The tour company honoured my booking, even though I was the only participant. My tour guide was welcoming, friendly and had fantastic knowledge about the country's sights and its history. I would highly recommend them just for that. The actual tour itself was fantastic. Postojna Caves are definitely worth visiting and are quite spectacular. The viator guide hands over the commentary to the managers of the caves and this is informative and well organised, however the Viator tour guide also provides a lot of background information not covered by the cave guides. Predjama castle was equally fascinating with the story behind its development told in great detail with a nice touch of humour. These are excellent places to visit with an excellent tour guide company.

The train ride into the caves starts the fun, and then I was dazzled by the cave itself! It was one of the most beautiful caves that I have been in! The castle at Predjama was interesting but I have seen better. Although, it was in a very scenic area. Thomas was our guide on this tour as well and he was great!

Guide was very knowledgable and helpful not only on the places we visited but on slovenia in general.

Review by: Michael S, United Kingdom	November 2009
Excellent tour, not many of us, but the guide and driver was very informative in the caves, we did the train ride and tour with the local guide but he did well and the tour was fast paced but worth the trip. The castle was excellent, history well explored by the guide and the whole place thoroughly explored, a good way to get a feel for rural Slovenia. Highly recommended.

This was a good tour, good guide and value for money. I enjoyed both the caves and the castle.

1 Our guide, Peter was a very good, friendly guide. 2 It was tough to visit Predjama by oneself. 3 Misterious! I love Caves.

Review by: David A, United Kingdom	September 2009
An excellent trip! Bring your hard hat or keep low for the train ride in the cave. The owners need to warn people of the close clearances between head and rock!

The caves are something worth not missing. They are absolutely stunning. The castle tour is a pleasant tour with a very interesting story behind it.

We got what we paid for. Everything thing was fine. The guide was very kind, and the bus was in time for the pickup at our hotel. It was easy to make business with Viator.

This is not to be missed. The place runs like a Swiss clock. It's impossible to describe. The castle is very interesting, unusual, and original.

The tour guide arrived exactly on time. It was an amazing tour. We are so happy that we booked this trip!
