Ibrahim – United Kingdom

I was unsure about taking this trip as I initially wanted to just take the bus to Postojna and buy the tickets online. But after seeing the shuttle doesnt run to Predjama in March, I decided to book the tour. Best decision I made. Tibor, or Tibi, was a great guide, seriously he went out of his way to show things to us, for example his own list of restaurants and food spots he recommends, and taking 1 minute detours to show us spots in Ljubljana we probably wouldn't have walked to. He made us feel comfortable by admitting we can just sleep if we feel tired while he talks, but honestly he was so interesting and happy, it made the driving go quick. He really was knowledgable about the tour, aswell as Slovenia in general and he made the whole group feel included without making anyone feel left out. The cave and castle themselves are amazing, they were better than I expected. However the audio guide in Predjama didn't load for some of us (no service and bad free wifi) I recommend!

Easy pick-up. Fantastic guide. It made it a lot easier than it would have been trying to get there by yourself. Additional history and information from the guide made us understand Slovenia even more!
