This Lake Bled and Postojna Cave day trip from Ljubljana covers three of Slovenia’s best-known places in one day: Postojna Cave, Predjama Castle and Lake Bled. It suits first-time visitors with only one free day. You travel in an air-conditioned minivan with up to 8 people, and a licensed local guide drives and stays with you at every stop.
All entry tickets and the boat ride are optional and paid on the day, so you only pay for the stops you want.
Past travelers mention that the guide explains where to buy tickets and which ticket options save money, which saves time at busy sites. Others say there was enough time at each stop and that the guide asked what each person wanted from the day.

Postojna Cave
Postojna Cave is the best-known cave in the world. It is also the greatest tourist attraction in Slovenia and one of the world's largest Karst monuments.
Predjama Castle
The Predjama Castle reigns over the surrounding area, perched high up in a vertical cliff, not far from the Postojna cave, in the idyllic village of Predjama. It is an interesting and romantic sight throughout the year: in the spring and summer its surroundings are abundant with blossoms and flowers, in the autumn it is clad in the colours of surrounding forests and it is at its most enchanting in the winter when the surrounding area is covered in snow.
Lake Bled
A trip to Bled, the charming Alpine resort at the very edge of the Julian Alps, must be a part of any visit to Slovenia.
Bled Island
Dive in the lake tradition and ride by pletna boat to the island. Following the boat ride, you get some time to explore the little island and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding area. Optionally, you can enter the Church of the Assumption and even ring the wishing bell, which has been ringing over Lake Bled since 1534.
Bled Castle (Blejski Grad)
Visit Bled castle, perched on a sheer cliff high above Lake Bled. Visit the Bled castle museum, which gives you an insight into the history of the entire area, and admire the views of Lake Bled from several viewpoints at the castle.

Took the Slovenia in one day tour today with Luka. Excellent in every way. The day unfolded exactly as described, and Luka provided non-stop commentary about the sites as well as great insights into Slovenian history, culture and lifestyle. The attractions were impressive, options were offered to customize your experience and Luka engaged with each of us to ensure that we got what we wanted from the tour. Highly recommend! Thanks Luka!
Fabulous tour to see the highlights of Slovenia in one day. Great driver/guide. Very clear directions. Easy to find collection point, on time. Lovely clean and comfortable minibus. Ample time in each destination. Bring snacks and drinks to have between stops (although do leave room for an ice cream on Bled Island)!
Exactly as described. Great tour. Ignore the comments about transportation only. Your guide drives you, provides history along the way, at the destination site, explains exactly where to get tickets (and all ticketing options to save money), where to stand (to get the best experience), explains the whole process instead of trying to figure it all out in a different language. That in itself saves so much time and messing around. Worth every penny. Karin was amazing.
No. Tickets for Postojna Cave, Predjama Castle, Bled Castle and the pletna boat to Bled Island are optional. You pay for them on the day, only for the stops you choose.
A maximum of 8 travelers, in an air-conditioned minivan, not a big coach.
At Dalmatinova ulica 10 in central Ljubljana, opposite the City Hotel. The tour returns to the same place.
A moderate fitness level is needed. There are quite a few stairs at Bled Island, Bled Castle and Predjama Castle, but the group takes them at a slow pace. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, but it is stroller accessible.
Yes. A licensed local English-speaking guide drives the van and stays with you at every stop.
