Must see cave tour!!

Craig_T, Oct 2023

Never seen a cave system before, absolutely amazing. The steep up/down grades were worth the effort!

One of the best tours ever

Cave and Castle

Anonymous, Jun 2023

Cave and castle were beautiful. It's a bit of a drive too both and it felt like we were rushed at both sites. We still had enough time though to enjoy both sites. Caves were a bit chilly when on the train. Shorts and light jacket is more than enough if your from a cooler climate.

Predjama is a great site!

Jeff_W, Aug 2022

We specifically chose this tour because of the stop at Predjama Castle. Other tours included just a short stop for pictures, but this tour allowed you to spend 45 minutes for the tour. The tour was an audio self-guided tour, but was very informative. It was a very interesting castle and unlike anything we have seen before! The Postojna tour was interesting, but the tour groups are much too large (50+ people for one guide), and due to the nature of the cave the group got spread out and separated so that people at the back of the group were always having to walk very fast to keep up with the guide and couldn't hear the guide at all. We kept pace with the guide but it wasn't enjoyable to walk at the pace of the guide and we didn't get to enjoy much of the sights of the cave. I'd recommend a self-guided audio tour as it would be more informative and could be done at a more leisurely pace.

pgans, Oct 2017

The guide was a driver who did not speak English. He took us to the caves and handed us over to the guide for the caves. the caves were really neat. Then he took us to the castle and bought us audio guides. He didn't tell us anything much about the country other than that Mrs. Trump came from there. They should have charged less for what we got, but it was still less expensive than what he cruise ship charged. They need to have English speaking drivers who tell us about the country.

The sites visited were incredible and were absolutely breathtaking. A truely unique experience well worth the time to explore. The cave provided a tour guides once inside, and the castle provided the equipement necessary to support a self guided tour. The tour guide provided by the tour company only facilitated getting everyone on and off the bus but did little else and did not provide any additional information or value. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience and should be a 'must see' if you visit Koper.

This is a tour not to be missed! We have visited Carlsbad Caverns here in the United States, and it pales next to Postojna Cave! Words to describe it would fail. The tour takes around 90 minutes and consists of a train ride in and out and then walking around the cave with a guide. It's quite chilly in the cave, so make certain you have adequate clothing. The cave does supply jackets for those who need one. The formations are amazing, and the cave is huge. Definitely not to be missed. The castle is very interesting and also worth seeing. We were on a cruise, and the tour offered by the cruise line did not include an interior tour of the castle. This tour included everything and was for half the price! The entire area is beautiful! We loved this visit!

Ulrich J, Jul 2017

We were only 7 people on this tour, but our guide Dejan was only concentrating around 1 or to people. The rest of us could not hear what he was talking about on the hour long trip to the caves. The Caves were fantastic, but we were rushed through them so didn't really have time to enjoy them at all! Predjama castle had much less tourists so much more time to enjoy. Definitely worth a visit.
