Fun way to see the country

Amanda_T, Oct 2023

Tour guide was pleasant and informative. The caves were gorgeous and the train was fun. It was a great way to see this lovely country

Amazing caves and excellent guide/ driver

Kelly_H, Oct 2023

Our guide Marina was very friendly and knowledgeable giving lots of information about the places we visited and the Country! The caves were amazingly unique and quick photo stop at castle was a great extra. Would highly recommend the tour to cruise ship passengers as they ensure the times work around the ship schedule.

Cave and Cake

Matt_T, Oct 2023

Fantastic small group tour lead by Mea. We had a great day! The caves are stunning, and the castle very picturesque. The caves are cool (10 Celcius) so bring an extra layer. Mea's impromptu polka demonstration and recommendation of a traditional Slovenian cake were the icing on the...well...cake.

The cave is something...

Anonymous, Sep 2023

The cave is something impressive, visiting it is an unforgettable experience and the castle and its history are also wonderful. We visited both places with family and friends and it is something that will remain in our memory forever. The best part came later when our tour guide took us to a small village for lunch, it was a small restaurant run by a single family with excellent food.

Great experience and perfect timing

Zuleymalisse_R, Aug 2023

Our tour guide Neva was incredible. She was so nice and caring. Made sure we left and arrived on time. She made the trip very interesting and shared her knowledge on the history of Koper and Postojna. She made sure we had our jackets for the cave to keep us warm. She even took a picture of us at the castle. Definitely a great experience and would definitely recommend.

Postojna Cave/Predjama Shore Excursion

Kerri_C, Aug 2023

This was an amazing activity! We booked this excursion independently from our Ship. All communication with Istranka Tours before our cruise on the Norwegian Gem, as to where to meet and when, was exceptional. We were picked up at the port by bus and taken to the Cave. I cannot say enough about this cave, it even has a post office in it! It was fun to send a postcard. We have been too many caves, but this tops them all. Our tour guide on the bus was very informative and we now look forward to visiting Slovenia when we can spend more time. We visited Predjama Castle, which was beautiful! We didn't go in, but had time for a delicious Union beer at the restaurant.

Two Sites Not To Be Missed - An Excellent Viator Tour in Koper Slovenia

Jay_W, Jun 2023

Both the cave and castle were wonderous experiences. Must sees. Chose my cruise because it would stop in Koper, Slovenia so that I could take this tour. The van was comfortable and the tour guides friendly. Both the cave and castle had self-guided options.

A home run and trip highlight!

Forrest_F, Jun 2023

Our tour guide, Peter, was amazing! The cave and castle were very interesting and it was a fun way to learn more about Slovenia. Highly recommend!

Rushed

Tracy_C, May 2023

The excursion was rushed. The tour operator changed our time the day before. We were originally scheduled to leave at 9, and it was changed to 10:45. The cave was beautiful, but very crowded.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Dear Tracy.. Thank you for submitting your review as we always look to improve our service.. Sad to hear that we didn't fulfill your expectations and we always take responsibility if there was anything on our side that resulted in having a bad experience.. But in your case the truth is that your cruise ship arrived to port way later than scheduled and with the same departure time so we had only 2 options. To cancel the tour or to still deliver but at a little bit faster pace.. We had 2 bad options to choose from and we decided for the least bad one. So we accept the 2 star review even if we tend to deliver the best 5 star service in this area.. For the crowd at he caves we will not comment as this is the same as any other popular tourist destination.. But once inside the caves we know that the experience overweighted all the stress you had to go trough because of the ship delays.. Thank you again for using our service.. If one of your friends or familiy members will ever come to Slovenia we offer him or her a free tour.. Thank you again for you review Peter Zaloznik

8th Wonder of the World

Julia_M, May 2023

So glad we took the trip to the cave! One day is simply not enough to see all the amazing things in Slovenia and we wish we had more time! Tour guide Yonas was friendly, entertaining and kept us all on schedule. I learned a lot and the kids had a great time too. Easy to find meet up spot (visible while still on the ship) and good value for the price. Would book again.

Great experience all the way around!

Mark_K, May 2023

We really enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and gave clear meeting times and instructions. Bus was very comfortable and clean. The Caves are a must do while in Koper!

Great trip

Kimberly_M, May 2023

Loved the castle. It looked like a story book. The caves were incredible and our tour guide was very knowledgeable.

Response from Host, May 2023

Dear Kimberly Thank you for your 5* review and thank you again for your trust. Best regards

Great Caves and Castle Tour

Vincent_P, Oct 2022

There were problems with the ships late arrivals but Peter was great at communicating and rearranged plans and made everything work. There caves were incredible and far more extensive than imagined. The castle visit included an audio tour. Most other tours only drive by the castle for a photo stop. The van, driver and service were excellent. This is the best company to book with.

not to be missed

teresa_n, Oct 2021

caves are not to be missed. castle has allot of stairs and uneven walking. our guide was informative. the van was immaculate and comfortable for all 4 of us.

Postojna Caves

Diana_G, Oct 2019

Our driver was waiting for us at the port and we were joined by 4 other people. We had a wonderful time at the caves. These are the most amazing caves I have ever experienced. It it really worth the trip. Great experience.

Postojna cave

Susan_G, Sep 2019

Fantastic tour of these amazing caves. It’s a long walk but awesome sights along the way. We walked for over an hour inside the caves with information being given at ports along the way. The castle was not as impressive but still interesting.
