About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Martina T0 contributionsPerfect introduction to LjubljanaOur guide was wonderful, genuine, and friendly. He provided the perfect blend of interesting facts on the history and culture of Ljubljana in a fun way. Our group was very social and the food and drinks were great. Only thing I would change is skipping the fried chicken as this dish is not what I would consider “traditional” and can be found in the US. The quality of all the food was great however and the soup and Carniolian sausage were a welcome warm treat after walking in the cold. This was a great way to get introduced to the city and I would definitely recommend.Written 18 January 2025
- 114mata0 contributionsAmazing highlight of Slovenia and LjubljanaThis was such a great experience a great mix of Slovenian food, history and culture. Our quid was amazing she has a great deal of knowledge and is more than happy to pass that on in a very relaxed manor. I highly recommend this food tour if you want a great insight into Slovenian culture. Thank you so much.Written 6 January 2025
- wltan1170 contributionsAn exceptional guideOur guide Borut was one of the best guides in all my years of travelling - he was very knowledgeable and we learnt much from him about Slovenian history (in addition to the places of interest), friendly, patient and super passionate about what he does!Written 25 December 2024
- Lulu30990 contributionsSnowy trip to Rastroke & Plitvice LakesWe went from Zagreb to Rastroke & Plitvice Lakes on a very snowy December day. Our guide was Damien & he was excellent, relaxed, organised, informative about all sorts of topics & local history. Small friendly group of 5 intrepid travellers.Written 11 December 2024
- Joaquim123456780 contributionsNice tourThe Bled Lake with Island and Castle day trip from Ljubljana was absolutely amazing! The small group setting made the experience personal and enjoyable. The boat ride to the island was picturesque, and exploring the charming church was a highlight. The Bled Castle offered stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Our guide was friendly and informative, making the entire trip smooth and memorable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Slovenia – it’s a must-see! 5 stars!Written 2 December 2024
- Andrew F0 contributionsA great sampler of the key locations in SloveniaI visited in the last week of October and the weather was wonderful. Our trip consisted of just 4 visitors as it was off peak season and our guide was a wonderful young lady by the name of Taisha (Tai). She was very prompt at the pickup location in a clearly marked tour van. At every location she explained the activity and provided clear timing and meeting locations, altogether a seamless adventure. It was perfect and I would recommend for people who want to see 3.key places in one day. Please note that these places are not always near one another so to allow for all three locations you cannot expect a lot of free time. Think of this as a sampler of the main attractions and if you want to fully explore a single location, you may have to consider going to only one location in the future for a full day. The tour does its best to allow for enough time to see these places if you are quick! The guide is working the entire day after all with the drive.Written 1 November 2024

The driver/tour guide was on time, even though the company didn’t send any communication prior to the day of the tour. He explained the schedule and his expectations. The cave was wonderful. We took a ton of pictures and videos. It was very well organized. The visit to the castle was fine. For people with mobility issues, it would have been impossible to visit. The stairs inside the castle are slippery and uneven making the visit arduous and at some instances dangerous. The castle is impressive from the outside and not very interesting inside. I would have liked to receive an email from the company prior to the tour.

I did this trip solo with Michelle as my guide, it was fantastic. She is ethusiasic and increibly knowledgeable, the perfect combo for a guide.
She taught me about many diffent aspects of Postojna Cave and what was to be found inside, and also Slovenian history, culture and folklore which we discussed throughout the day while visiting other sites on the tour.
The cave itself is a wonder to behold, with the small train ride at the start taking you into the cave and the walk way after this taking you even deeper still, allowing you to marvel at the natural sculptures that nature has been making for millenia.
Then the scenic sites visited on the way to the cave, there and back again, make this trip one I heavily recommend doing for anyone visiting Ljubljana.
Thank you Michelle for taking me on this trip, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Easy tour to do in a 1/2 day.
The cave tour was led by the cave guides (our Roundabout guide drove us there and arranged tickets etc.). However, this cave is one of the most visited caves in the world, so even in the off-season it was fairly packed, which wasn't to my liking.
The castle tour was definitely worth it (and led by our guide). Interesting history of this small fortress/castle/home!

We signed up for a small group tour, but it turned out we were the only ones on the tour that day. We got our fabulous guide all to ourselves for the Predjama Cave/Castle; he was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. Afterwards the Postojna Cave visit was extremely well-organized and fabulous to see; even though they take thousands through the cave every day, we only saw part of one other group during our tour. Our Roundabout guide was timely both when he picked us up in the morning and upon completion of the Postojna Cave tour. Altogether a fabulous tour and a great way to spend a hot and humid day in Ljubljana!

Postojna Cave is a must, even if there are really many tourists! The groups are very large, and it is not always easy to understand the guide! That said, the experience is definitely worth it!
In Predjama Castle, there are fewer people. However, there are many steps!

My wife and I joined this small group day trip, that started at 8:30am. Meeting point was by the fountain in front of the Eurostars hotel in Ljubljana. Only 2 blocks from our accommodations. I believe we had 7 in our group. Primus, our tour guide and driver, picked us up from there on time, transport in a comfortable van. Primus was wonderful. A great driver, good in conversation, and very knowledgeable. A joy to visit with. And he actually gave us our own private guided tour through Postojna castle. He did a great job. The castle being the first stop, we then went on to the Postojna Cave. There he got us all situated in the correct tour line, gave us information, and off we went. The train ride back and forth in the cave was fun, and the walking tour in the cave was very cool we were in the cave system for quite a while. We then met Primus outside, and he brought us back to our pickup point. Both the castle and cave were well worth the time and money. Primus made the trip even better.

This was a great tour led by a really informed guide who built good rapport with the group and was fun to be around (Mika - sorry if that is spelt wrong!). The website is really clear that the cost of entry to attractions is not included and I was dubious about value for money at first - but actually it is really worth it, and you get a lot of added value for the extra cost. Learnt a lot and the cave is really fun!!

Fantastic experience: the castle and the caves are wonderful and our guide, Urban, has been very interesting and friendly.
I would definetely suggest this company, also because it allows you to book the trip for the afternoon, whereas the majority of the other tour operators only provides morning trips.
Thank you very much.

Dear,
Thank you for your kind words and great review!
The afternoon makes it better to visit because of fewer people visiting this popular site in Slovenia.
always welcome to experience more of Slovenia!

I took this tour to visit Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle from Ljubljana because it was more convenient this way than public transport since it was winter. We were a small group of three people, and our driver was lovely Michel who gave us a nice overview of Slovenia on our way to the cave. The only thing that I didn't like was the little amount of time we had to Postojna Cave. For example, I would like it if I had time to visit Vivarium as well or have something at the cafe after the tour in the cave.

Apart from transportation cost from Ljubljana to Postojna Cave Park and return, I wonder if the tour fee includes the full entrance fee to the cave and the Predjama Castle. Please advise.

What is the departure time & return time of the tour ?
Written 14 February 2020
I realise this has been asked before but still unsure if this cost of £36 cover both transport and admission . As a previous person has also asked it is unclear in the information! One part it says included then in another not ! And the answer doesn’t really state conclusively as said just paid the tourist fee

The inclusions show entrance fees while the exclusions also say entrance fees. Are entrance fees to the castle and caves included?

Is there a lot of walking on this tour. My wife has some issues with her knees.
Written 25 May 2018
Only a little bit of walking inside the cave on a proper path. Shouldn't be a problem. At the castle about 200 m of walking to the castle and up and down some stairs inside. One can choose not to walk up the stairs and stay down.
