A Great Double Up Tour. - Wow....I was (sort of) happy to wait in the cold wind to take this tour. It was extremely trying for me to keep up, but that was my problem...not the tour. So, be aware, it is a very strenuous tour. The cave portion of the tour was jaw dropping. The cave IS HUGE....the train ride is fun & necessary. The Castle has many levels and stairs. I'm a 63 yr old lady & I tried my best to do as much as I could, but did not get to the top. Others made it tho. It was so interesting & weird at the same time. We also stopped for lunch at a lovely local restaurant.....the food was nice & filling & very much appreciated. If I book a whole day of touring, I try to find one with lunch or a snack at least. Would recommend this tour, but remember, it's a lot of effort.

Definitely go - Definitely a great tour with interesting history in the castle. The caves are immense and the walkway, though a little wet, was easy to move along. Lighting provided a spectacular view of the formations.

An adventure for those sure of foot - Vast doesn't begin to describe the scope of Postjana Cave. Start with a 15 minute train ride beginning in the cave. Then a 1 mile walk through huge spaces alternating with low ceilings. The pathway is generally smooth with decent traction although it is always damp and in some spots wet. There are significant inclines and declines. A 15 minute train ride back to the starting point concludes the cave portion. A 10 minute car ride takes you to Predjama Castle, uniquely situated at the entrance to a cavern. Very picturesque views. The interior is a warren of rooms, halls, and stairs with no rhyme nor reason. Many interesting artifacts are distributed throughout. Ernie, our guide, was personable, informative, helpful and an absolute pleasure as well as being a good driver. Neither site is suitable for anyone with limited mobility or balance concerns. The cave has slopes that are often dimly lit and the castle has uneven stairs and walkways along with narrow passages that are hard to navigate.

Cave and castle - My wife and I really enjoyed this trip, which involved a drive from Trieste to the sites in Slovenia. Our driver was a very engaging college student on his summer job before his classes began. The tours themselves were very quick. We could have spent a lot more time at both sites before our tour drivers whisked us away. Special thanks to the tour leader who lent us both sweaters when he decided we would be too cold in the caves. The caves are chilly, and the gesture was appreciated.

Cave tour a must. - Great tour guide Earnie. Really nice, informative young man. Every tour should have a guide like him. The cave is a hike but you have the option to just ride the train. The caves are fantastic to see. I would highly recommend this to everyone. A highlight of our trip. The castle was OK but is very famous and built into a cave. I have been to castles all over Europe so it wasn’t a huge thing for me to see.
