Great Shore Excursion - This was a wonderful shore excursion! The caves were magnificent! It is a must see if you are in Slovenia. Our tour guide was very informative about the area, culture and history. The pick up point was directly off the ship and they were very punctual in returning us to the ship. Definitely would recommend

Good experience - So pretty and interesting. Definitely lots of walking and chilly. Couldn’t hear the guide but that was part of the cave staff. Very slippery so wear sneakers. The train was an experience but fun and one of a kind

Great short tour - Great caves. Kids loved them. Not too far from the port. Bus meets you from the ship and returns you there so very handy. Castle was beautiful

Private tour to Postojna cave & Predjama castle - For our Adriatic cruise in August, we booked for Koper via internet a minivan for our party of 5. Everything went perfectly, from booking to the tour itself. The car was in good condition and our driver / guide was great, provided a lot of useful information and tips to make our day perfect. The entire tour was exactly on time, as scheduled. Location of the kiosk is steps away from the docked ship and car was parked right beside. Extremely convenient and good value for money.
The one person I really need to praise is Darja from the booking office, she was extremely responsive and helpful, I must say she was providing best ever booking & customer service experience.
Thank you Istranka, THANK YOU DARJA!

Excellent cave tour. - We enjoyed the cave tour. We were there when the crowds were lite. I've heard it can be very crowded during peak season. The walk inside is very steep at times and is about an hour long. Great picture opportunity. The castle tour was a disappointment that we did not go inside. But is was picture perfect from the outside

Not clear instructions - Very unorganized when I booked tour thought it was for 8:30 in the morning. That was the time tour kiosk opened, tour wasnt until 10:45, was told I was sent a message the day before giving me the time (never received) but how are you going to inform someone the day before of the time? We had other plans later in day which had to be cancel since tour started 2 hrs later then expected. Should inform people of the time when they book not the time you open.
