Travel from central Ljubljana to Postojna Cave by air-conditioned vehicle, ride an electric train through huge underground chambers, then tour Predjama Castle with an audio guide. English-speaking guides such as Luca, Neža, Maja, and Bor provide commentary along the way. Allow for wet paths, stairs, and a cool 10°C cave.
“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.”
Travel from Ljubljana in a small van of up to eight people with an English-speaking guide. Ride the underground train at Postojna Cave, visit cliff-hung Predjama Castle, cross Lake Bled by pletna boat, and tour Bled Castle. Guides such as Nina, Tina, Jan, and Jacob add local history and practical help.
“Excellent! Igor was an awesome guide and made the tour amazing! Very knowledgeable and friendly and would definitely recommend this tour!”
Travel by van from Ljubljana with an English-speaking driver-guide to Postojna Cave, Predjama Castle, and Lake Bled. Entry tickets and Bled cream cake are included. Add the Pletna boat and church entry for extra cost, and expect a long but efficient day.
“We really enjoyed this whole day tour with our tour guide Klemen. He was very friendly and tried to engage all the people in the group. He had excellent communication skills and was knowledgeable about the places and kept telling us about the history of each of the place as we crossed them. We visited Bled in the morning and Caves in the afternoon. Though it was quite busy in the afternoon our guide made sure we reach the places as quick as possible. Overall would definitely recommend this tour for those who want to see two main attractions in two different directions of the country in a single day.…”
From Bled, you ride an old mining train into a former mine, walk and climb to underground water, then paddle a sit-on-top kayak through dark galleries. The eight-hour trip includes gear, a miner’s snack, hotel transfers, and an English-speaking guide. Expect cold air, steep stairs, and a small group of up to eight.
“Great day out and very different to any other caving experience I've had before. On the drive to the cave our guide stopped at several locations to show us views and points of interest which made the experience more engaging.”
By boat, by ladder, by staircase or on a rope.
