Wonderful tour of the castle with a guide, with nice puncuating acting scences for each of the stops. Just the right amount of both, and plenty to see in the castle after the tour is done - good for families. It can be crowded at the Funicular (tram up to the castle), so recommend the walk up -- we chose to include the ride, but walked up and took the tram back. There was an impressive photo exhibit during our visit.

In my opinion, this is the best way to tour the castle. Our guide and the actors were fantastic. It was a creative and interesting way to showcase the history. Highly recommend.

Interestingly renovated, the castle is more of a multi-media centre with photo exhibitions, a theatre, lovely wine and coffee bars and all beautifully designed. The historical element is limited to a short dungeon or tower tour with a small historical exhibition, all rather scattered about so limited flow meant it gets rather lost in the rest of the visitor noise. The castle obviously played aninteresting role housing prisoners of war and before that local prisoners including women accused of infanticide and a deeper look at that would have been fascinating. A sundowner on the very reasonably priced wine bar terrace probably has the best view in all Ljubljana.

We weren’t sure what to expect from this tour but it was very entertaining with a touch of humour and information about the castle. Our group was small (only 10 people) and lasted just over an hour. I think without the Time Machine part, the castle was possibly a bit of a maze. Recommend arriving for the funicular at least half an hour (more in peak season) before you need to be there.
