We hired Adam at the last second to take us to Plivitce lakes for the day. He was super flexible with timing given that we booked the tour the night before at 11 pm. Adam was a great conversationalist and we enjoyed learning about his experiences during our 2 hour drive to the lakes. He was helpful in showing us around and gave great local suggestions of places to try in Zagreb.

We were picked up at the bus stop near our apartment on time. The van was comfort enough. Our driver was Alenka. She was really a good driver and tour guide. She explained everything we need to know and arranged the time perfectly. So we didn't need to rush at every spots, including enough lunch time to taste the traditional food. We were the last group to be picked up. Then we start our trip to Vintgar Gorge. Alenka said we should to arrive early to avoid crowd. And it was true. When we come there were only a few people. We took a walk along the gorge for half an hour. The view was very amazing. When we walk back there were more visitor. Good decision to put Vintgar Gas as the first destination. Then we continued to Bled. We visited the church at Bled Island by using boat which including in the package. We have enough time as well to take some pictures at the lake's edge including at the photo spot with heart shaped. Alenka also suggested us some restaurants and we chose a restaurant which sale local food. The meeting point was also easy to find. After lunch we went to Predjama Castle. The castle was amazing and need long enough time to explore all spots inside the castle. There were some steepy access and stairs as well so we should to use comfort shoes. Our last destination was Postojna Cave. And again it was a good arrangement because the cave was less crowded and we were the last group entering the cave that day. We finish the trip and asked Alenka to drop us near Dragon Bridge to explore another great spot in Ljubljana in the evening.

The full day was great in whole. The caves are beautiful-definitely a sight you should see. There were a lot of students on trips but it's fine because you get put into a group with your own language guide. Horses are breathtaking and the history is interesting I wish we went on a day where the horses were "working" meaning you could ride them. We went on a Monday so that is the resting day for the Lipica horses-they train and trot all other days. Despite that, we had a lovely tour of the farm and interacted with the horses in their stables and learned about these unique majestic creatures. Pick up and drop off was right on time - car was comfortable and our guide found a good place for us to have lunch before taking us back into Trieste

Incredible service! I had such a kind driver, who was happy to wait for me when I was running late to get to the meeting point. Best shuttle service I've ever had. Due to covid the shuttles didn't seem to be running regularly, but if you call up they will come and pick you up/drop you to wherever you need to go.
