Itinerary

Trieste (Pass By)

Your guide will pick you up at the agreed starting point in Trieste - hotel, cruise terminal, train station etc. (please contact us after the booking so the appropriate arrangements can be made).
Postojna Cave

Postojna Cave, the queen of all caves, is the best-known cave in the world. It is also the greatest tourist attraction in Slovenia and one of the world’s largest karst monuments. This is the only place in the world where the underground landscape can be traversed on an electric train and where you get to meet this underground kingdom’s most famous inhabitant – the proteus (olm) – up close. A fantastic web of tunnels, passages, galleries and halls, astonishing diversity of karst features, as well as easy access are certainly the main reasons for such popularity of the cave and a large number of visitors (more than 36 million of them in over 200 years).

3 hours
Predjama Castle

The Predjama Castle reigns over the surrounding area, not far from the Postojna Cave, in the idyllic village of Predjama. This picturesque, magnificent, defiant, mysterious and impregnable castle has been perched up in the middle of a vertical 123-meter high cliff for more than 800 years. Its romantic appeal is further emphasized by the idyllic Lokva River, which disappears into the underground world deep down below the castle. As the only preserved cave castle in Europe, the Predjama Castle offers a unique insight into the building techniques and resourcefulness of people in the Middle Ages, who were looking for and found a safe harbor for themselves right at the entrance into the cave. During a siege that took place in the 15th century, the castle provided a refuge for its best known and most notorious owner - Erazem of Predjama. The legend about the courageous robber baron Erazem, who remained undefeated until one of his servants betrayed him, is still in people’s minds, inspiring and alluring as ever. It was this safe abode of his which helped the brave knight resist the besiegers without much difficulty for more than a year.

Published on Sep, 2024

Erie our guide was knowledgable, fun & full of energy. He made sure we saw the views and sites along the way. Once at our two destinations he made sure we all new where to meet after each tour. The tours were great and very interesting

Great trip to Slovenia - highly recommend it

Published on Jul, 2024

A really good trip. Ernest, our guide, and Eddie our driver were great. Ernest gave some interesting and relevant facts about Slovenia, the cave and castle and Trieste. The cave was cold so do remember to bring a jumper. The train and cave were fascinating and beautiful. The castle was something out of either a fairy tale or a Bond movie - take your pick!

Wonderful Experience

Published on Jul, 2024

Ernie was entertaining and gave us some history of the region. Our group enjoyed the experience! The cave is a work of art by nature and the castle is a work of art by human. The castle has a lot of uneven stairs and can give you some cardio, BUT very well worth the effort! The views of the surrounding area are gorgeous and the drive to the castle through the countryside gives you a taste of rural Slovenia. The tour was just a group from our cruise ship and consisted of 50 people on our bus. There is a bit of discrepancy on Viator about it being a small group (we did NOT see what the issue was for some people). Our group as a whole kept up and we were on time for everything. The bus was comfortable. Ernie also gave recommendations for local food and drink (which we tried and enjoyed)
