Ms Sandra was our tour guide and she was so kind. Coordination was clear and stress free; they were very accommodating to the ship’s schedule so we were not stressed about missing the boat. The caves were a cool experience, our family of all ages loved the train.
We are allways hopping on 5*! And happy to have you!
Yuri was a terr1fic guide. He was a wealth of information regarding the areas we drove through getting to he caves and was extremely entertaining. I will say the actual tour through the caves and the associated walking, traversing inclines and declines, was somewhat strenuous. For some reason, I thought the train ride was the bulk of the activity, but, I was so wrong. That being said, I am very glad we went as it was beautiful, and very interesting.
Thank you! Happy New Year!
The cave was amazingly beautiful and the tour interesting. Our guide was great and had a true love of his country.
Thank you for beeing our guest!
Mateja our guide was very knowledgeable and it was helpful to get straight from Port to cave experience. Excellent communication and insider tips for a good cave visit.
Dear Faune, thank you for your visit. Always welcome!
Tour guide was pleasant and informative. The caves were gorgeous and the train was fun. It was a great way to see this lovely country
Our guide Marina was very friendly and knowledgeable giving lots of information about the places we visited and the Country! The caves were amazingly unique and quick photo stop at castle was a great extra. Would highly recommend the tour to cruise ship passengers as they ensure the times work around the ship schedule.
Fantastic small group tour lead by Mea. We had a great day! The caves are stunning, and the castle very picturesque. The caves are cool (10 Celcius) so bring an extra layer. Mea's impromptu polka demonstration and recommendation of a traditional Slovenian cake were the icing on the...well...cake.
The cave is something impressive, visiting it is an unforgettable experience and the castle and its history are also wonderful. We visited both places with family and friends and it is something that will remain in our memory forever. The best part came later when our tour guide took us to a small village for lunch, it was a small restaurant run by a single family with excellent food.
Our tour guide Neva was incredible. She was so nice and caring. Made sure we left and arrived on time. She made the trip very interesting and shared her knowledge on the history of Koper and Postojna. She made sure we had our jackets for the cave to keep us warm. She even took a picture of us at the castle. Definitely a great experience and would definitely recommend.
This was an amazing activity! We booked this excursion independently from our Ship. All communication with Istranka Tours before our cruise on the Norwegian Gem, as to where to meet and when, was exceptional. We were picked up at the port by bus and taken to the Cave. I cannot say enough about this cave, it even has a post office in it! It was fun to send a postcard. We have been too many caves, but this tops them all. Our tour guide on the bus was very informative and we now look forward to visiting Slovenia when we can spend more time. We visited Predjama Castle, which was beautiful! We didn't go in, but had time for a delicious Union beer at the restaurant.
