A very good day - A very very good value tour to some beautiful places made it even better by our tour guide Andy. We learned so much from Andy as he made it very personal even showing us the apartment where he grew up in his beautiful hometown. The tour was a great combination of guided along with free time to explore areas on your own. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody.

Great tour as a group - Stanley did a perfect job. He told us about the history and sights and was funny to listen to. We stayed longer in Piran as there is more to see, which was great.

Great tour - We just did this tour last week as a part of the Norwegian Cruise Line. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We started with a drive through the city and stopped at a place to take some pictures. Our guide Natasha was very sweet. We then proceeded to a gorgeous winery with fantastic views and a wine fountain. We were able to sample one wine included in our price. We stayed for about 30-45 minutes and then proceeded to the Koper town center. We got a tour of the area and also tried gelato. Unfortunately the donuts were sold out so we were unable to try those but we proceeded to cookies and tapas. A nice easygoing tour! Enjoyed it!

Nice day, because it was a Sunday we missed two places. Also my friend had difficulty walking and you walk 1 mile. - How beautiful the countryside is and the history. The food was OK, an added treat. I would do it again.

Organizational problems - The sites are magnificent but the organization needs to be reviewed. We are on a cruise and choose a local company directly. An email with a meeting point and a Google link. Except that the meeting is finally in the port when leaving the boat and that the flag is not accurate (blue in the yellow mail on site). A couple was waiting in the wrong place. 1h15 to Isola, then 2 hours to Piran... Bus 25 minutes late, you have to cancel poroze to be sure to get back to the ship on time. We need to review this: remove poroze or reduce the time elsewhere... In short, it's a great excursion but you have to find the right balance.

Good guide, good wine, too much sugar - Our guide, Andi, was very good. He was personable and informative as he told us about the history of the country and gave us insight into the people and their daily lives. The tour, however, wasn’t what I expected. We didn’t go to Piran (a main reason I chose the tour) as indicated in the tour description. Andi explained that they stopped going there due to overcrowding which is understandable but it should have been removed from the description. The taste portion of the tour was also disappointing. While the wine was quite good the other items we tasted were a donut, gelato, a liqueur, and a huge cookie or another gelato. Each of these were good but I expected to try a cheese or meat or some other typical food instead of all sweets.

Tour was o.k. but description is wrong! - The tour is not like te description! When the tour starts, the tourguide told us, that we can not drive to Izola, Piran and Portoroz, because buses are not allowed to drive in this towns. So we drive only to two points: A viewpoint over Izola, and the Wine Paradise Marezige. Then we had a town walk in Koper, and there we get go to five points for tasting. The Tourguide was good and so it was o.k. But it was not an Hop on Hop of Tour, and you will not see the promised towns!

negative - The tour guide Natasha is amazing. I give a low rating because out of four cities we visited only two. The stories about traffic congestion are impressive, but we all know that you were transporting two groups at the same time. my experience is negative

Unprofessional excursion - We were supposed to visit 4 towns on this trip but due to the bus driver being late picking us up on the first 2 stops we were unable to make the last 2. We were from a cruise ship so timing was of great importance. Our guide was very good but we were in the hands of the bus driver unfortunately.
