A pleasant day and a pleasant guide! - What an unexpected gem our visit to Slovenia was! We loved the visits to the cave and castle. We had a private tour with Mateja as our guide. She was just wonderful! She was pleasant, friendly, informative, and put up with our crazy group of 13 with grace. Our brief visit showed us what a beautiful country Slovenia is and we will definitely be back one day.

Fantastic tour guide made the trip worth it - The meeting spot for the tour is centrally located and the bus was comfortable. The two sites are a perfect short day trip from Trieste. Our guide, Ernie, was good humored, informative, and helpful. His mixture of serious information and “fun facts” was perfect. He told us a few good jokes as well on the drive back to Trieste. The bus driver was an expert and we all felt safe. We would definitely recommend taking this excursion with KoperTours.

Professional outfit. Very nice trip. - Met right of the cruise ship and taken in a small group of seven in a modern suv. Great driver/guide looked after us. The caves and castle are well worth a visit and this company will get you there in comfort for a fraction of the cost of an official cruise tour. Highly recommend.

Great tour of caves (and castle) - We took this tour as an excursion from a cruie with one other couple. BUs met us and dropped us off at cruise port. The tour of the Postojna Caves was an amazing experience. The guide did a good job of explaining what we were seeing and how they were formed. We went from stationto station, and at each station, she had a microphone and speakers so we could all hear. Because our group was so busy taking pictures, we got behind and missed the last several stations and explanations, but we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The trip to the castle was interesting but not very exciting. The castle is unique being built into the side of the mountain. Tour did not include going into the castle. but we were told there is not much to see inside. THe tour guie on the bus was excellent. He explained in prefect detail what we would see, etfc. He took those of us without cave tickets to the ticket counter and made sure we got the right tickets. When we came out, he met us and showed us around the area for shops, snacks etc. Very friendly and professional guide. Highly reccommend this tour.

Awesome pontjame(?) Tour - Stanley was excellent describing a country history, climate and different region as we pass through them.i have learned a lot and got a different perspective of the country.cave tour was just can't describe as a word due to the jaws drop too low.i highly recommend a coper tour as your guide and you will not regret it.they were punctual and economical.should purchase a ticket in advance through a cave web site so that you could avoid a ticket purchase line.

Out of World Experience - The Caves are beautiful and huge. An electric train takes you in and out. In between you have a 1 hour walking tour and 3 tops with an English speaking host. The walks are on good solid concrete or up steps but are not pushed. Bring a camera that takes good shots with little light. You canNOT take flash pictures but can take camera shots and videos without the flash. It is wonderful!!!
