Matej was a great tour guide and not only provided us with Slovenian history and background of the destinations, but some insight into Slovenian politics and changes since the Yugoslavian era. Postojna caves are incredible and the train ride within the caves is a neat experience within itself. Predjama castle is really unique and fun to explore.”

The spot Tarun took us to for the Bled cake was possibly some of the best cake we have ever tasted and we will remember the first bite of cake for a very long time. While the trip was amazing, the best part of it was that Tarun, himself, was a great person to get to know and spend time with in the car. We could…”

UNESCO Skocjan Caves near Ljubljana, small-group guided walk with hotel pickup, entrance, and river-canyon scale in 4 to 5 hours.

HOWEVER, be aware although many of the pathways are laid concrete, there are still a lot of steps to negotiate, so anybody with mobility issues will struggle, which is when Postojna wins.”

“The cave is an amazing wonder of nature. I thought this is just similar to the cave in Halong Bay of Vietnam but this is bigger and indeed the mother of all caves!The Prejama castle is also interesting. Don't expect treasures nor a lot of furnitures but what's interesting is the location of the castle and how it was built as part of the cave system. A must-see site in Slovenia”
