Skocjan Caves & Piran! a day in Adriatic Coast . - We had a wonderful guide, Miha or Mike, who narrated and answered questions on our way to the first stop-the UNESCO cave. While inside the massive cave area, this part of the tour was led by the park service guide. No pictures are allowed inside the cave. It needs to be known before booking, that the cave has approximately 500 steps and concrete walkways consisting of long inclines. We had 4 in our group. As long as this is known ahead of time, this is an awe inspiring place to visit. We were prepared for coldness underground, but it stays at a comfortably cool 12*C.
The views of Piran were lovely. As you stand by the Adriatic Sea, you can see Croatia to the left and Italy to the right! We stayed 3 hours,. An hour for lunch and and hour for exploring. There is not much shopping to be done here, except for the Piran Salt shop!!

A great day filled with nature, history and culture - This tour was exceptional! The caves were so impressive; words could not accurately describe them. I also really enjoyed visiting Piran, especially with the explanation of Luka, our guide. I had a fantastic day and really appreciated our guide :)

Highly recommended — great experience and well worth the money! - Tibor is deeply knowledgeable about Slovenia and the sights he showed us. He shared his love of Slovenia and helped us better understand the country, its culture — and its cuisine (lots of good tips as to what and where to eat!). He set us up well to appreciate Skojcan caves and Piran. And he was just fun to spend time with! A great experience and well worth the money!

AMAZING VIEWS AND TOUR💯 - I had an amazing time on this full day tour with I believe her name is Dharja. On the way to the caves, she gave a detailed explanation on the history of Ljubljana, the nature and the mountains. On arrival, she showed us this beautiful view of the Dolines as well.
I unfortunately lost my ticket right before going inside the caves, however Dharja was so kind and assured me I should still be able to go in. She was very understanding and managed to get me inside!!
The caves themselves was BEAUTIFUL!! The real mind-blowing part is how big it is inside, all below surface level!! I recommend taking exit 2 to get some views before heading back to the parking lot. I went end of September so it can be a bit warm walking up from the bottom of the mountain.
Piran was incredible! We had 1 hour free time on arrival, a guided talk through Piran with Dharja where she shared interesting facts and amazing views, then another hour of free time before heading back. You can also swim if you want.
Absolutely loved my time on this tour 😊

Caves and coast in Slovenia :) - Loved this trip! Overall a fabulous time with a super knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly guide :) I was happy to meet other cool travelers on the excursion as well, as I'm a solo traveler. Love the group size - we were only 5- it was intimate and easy. Also - Piran and the caves were gorgeous. I was a bit disappointed that they don't allow photos in the cave, but thankfully I found a wide range of postcards in the gift shop to substitute. My only suggestion is to allow a bit more time at the caves, because when there are multiple groups, ( in our case 4) you can't control which group you go down with and we were the last: meaning we only were able to meet our guide half an hour later than scheduled.

Beautiful places - The beautiful trip. The guide very cheerful attentive and loquacious .the amazing countries. He drives very well and everything went on schedule as agreed.
something to recommend r aifses that if the guide speaks only in English . People who do not speak the language should offer you an audio guide that translates into several languages like Spanish.So we did in Turkey Egypt Austria
Morocco etc. It's hard to go on a 20 hd excursion
Pay 105 euros and return without knowing anything the guide comments
