What is the "Unofficial Cave and Castle Day Tour Markups" scam in Ljubljana?

Question

Accepted Answer

Street vendors and unlicensed guides in the Old Town offer discounted "private tours" to Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle. Tours have no set schedule, exceed advertised group sizes (15+ instead of promised 6-8), and guides provide minimal information. Some tours charge surprise "entrance fees" on arrival that were never mentioned. Book tours through established tour operators with offices and online reviews. Confirm group size and guide language in writing before payment. Request the operator's license and insurance. Verify all entrance fees are included in the quoted price.
