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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Despite what other reviews say, we did not get to go into the castle. We only got to stop and take pictures for less than 10 minutes. Spend the extra $5 and book the tour that specifically says you get to go into the castle. This also wasn’t a small group tour, we were thrown on a large bus with 50 other people. We could’ve booked the exact tour through the cruise line for $30 less per person.

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.
