Slovenia in One Day: Small-Group Bled, Postojna Cave & Predjama
The Slovenia in One Day tour, running small-group from Ljubljana since 2011: Lake Bled, Postojna Cave, and Predjama Castle in one day, with a licensed local guide and no more than 8 guests. One day, three of Slovenia's best-known places! You'll glide across Lake Bled on a traditional pletna boat to the island church, ride the underground train deep into Postojna Cave, and stand beneath Predjama Castle, built improbably into a cliff face. Between the sights, there's time to walk the lakeshore, taste the famous Bled cream cake, and hear the stories your local guide grew up with. Because the group stays small, up to 8 in a comfortable van rather than a big coach, the day stays relaxed and bends to what your group feels like. Admissions like the cave, the boat, and the castles are optional, so you only pay for the stops you choose, and we share the prices upfront. Run by Slovenia Explorer, an official Gray Line Slovenia licensee.
