Review of the Zagreb to Ljubljana, Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle tour, with costs, timing, border tips, highlights and honest drawbacks.

“They canseled the trip short time before travelling - so there was no trip! No effort to sort the situarion either! Do not recommand you to plan your vacation with this tour, as it appares to us as unprofessional! Also, we then found out the price paied was only for the drive - which can be bought for 1/3 if you go by buss. Going by buss is safe - and will not be cancelled!”

Review of the private Zagreb to Slovenia day tour, with Postojna Cave, Predjama Castle, Ljubljana, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“WOW - What a day! Truly spectactular experience - extremely personal and very welcoming from the Get-Go.
