“We had a nice day with our guide Emil. He provided a lot of interesting facts about Slovenia on the drive to the castle and the cave.

There is musical performances and special lights settings which makes it extra beautiful and special.

“Our guide, Basil, was so friendly and knowledgeable about his country. It really enhanced the tour when he was able to add lots of obscure facts and stories, and the small group meant we had more freedom to pick and choose.

The whole country is just stunning and deserves to be appreciate and experienced.”
