WOW - What a day!
Truly spectactular experience - extremely personal and very welcoming from the Get-Go.
Our guide, Tanja, made us feel immediately at ease whilst we settled down for the drive towards Slovenia. We were expecting to become part of a larger group tour however, the personal touch (it was just the pair of us & Tanja) made a huge difference to the overall experience.
We found Tanja to be extremely knowledgeable on a variety of subjects (not just relevant to the tour ie Brexit) and more than happy to answer any questions we had.
POSTOJNA Caves were amazing. Our initial decent into the caves is by mini train for about 12 mins, at which point, we disembarked for the walk of approx 2 kms which includes some steps climbs and a rather daunting "Russian" Bridge between the Old & The New Caves.
Next we drove onto Predjama Castle. This is believed to be the largest Cave Castle in the World. Tanja joined us for this tour. However, it was clearly obviously that Tanja was also extremely knowledgeable about the history of this location. For the 2nd time on the tour, we were both scared to cross another bridge, joining the current Cave Castle to the remains of the original cave castle behind it. You dont need much imagination to visualise what life would have been like in that place over the centuries.
Next we drove to the final destination on the tour - LJUBLJANA Old Town. A beautiful tiny city where Tanja gave us a bit more of the history before recommending a Slovenian Restaurant serving traditional Slovenian food for a late lunch.
And then - back to Zagreb (where we slept on the journey back whilst safe in the knowledge that Tanja wasnt).
Overall - an amazing experience with a truly personal touch. Thank you very much Tanja.
