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.

A Slovenian adventure

Published on Jan, 2025

Ernest was an affable and engaging guide. His anecdotes provided a glimpse into the economic fortunes of Slovenia. The castle visit was a time warp into Slovenia’s medieval past. The cave a brilliant example of a Karst geographical landscape. A must do visit from the wonderful city of Trieste.

Awesome cave

Published on Nov, 2024

The cave was a great experience and the largest we’ve seen. You need to move quickly through the cave in order to catch the train. The castle was not the most interesting. The castle had a toilet issue but failed to communicate that to the visitors. The tour guide was excellent, informative and entertaining.

Great Visit to Caves and Castle

Published on Nov, 2024

Ernie was our guide. Couldn’t have been any better! Picked us up at the port exactly as stated. I’d recommend bringing extra jacket as you’ll definitely need it in the cave. Ernie was pleasant and informative noting points of interest along the way. Great experience.

Great choice for cruise excursion

Published on Sep, 2024

We were notified that since this tour was timed with our cruise ship, the group would be larger (I think it was two buses). The operator gave plenty of opportunity to change if you wanted smaller tour. (Someone complained on our bus but it never was billed as a guided tour-they provided bus transport and got tickets to sights for us). We were met right outside our cruise ship with clearly marked personnel. Both sights are interesting. The entire excursion is just long enough of a day to then have a little free time to walk around Trieste for a few hours. The caves were unbelievable. I recommend that you wear good shoes and be physically fit since there are some ups and downs on ramps. I did see some people manage with a cane. It's a bit wet in the caves as expected. Dress warm too since it is damp.

Predjama Castle

Published on Sep, 2024

Spectacular sights and Ernie was a wonderful guide/driver. Slovenia is a beautiful country! Predjama Castle was quite the experience.
