Amazing experience - Memorable experience. Robbie, Robert & Stefan were absolutely amazing. I recommend this tour, the knowledge of Stefan was incredible, even in the pursuing storm that was approaching!! Robert took us to Panda for a tasting experience of local produce which was such an everlasting experience. Thankyou Robbie for assisting us with our tour which Viator had not communicated to you!!!

Thoughtful and instructive tour guide - Our guide, Mauricio, was terrific. On Sept. 26th, he introduced us not only to the beautiful seaside town of Piran but also gave us a very informed view of the march of history throughout the entire region. Excellent job!
