- Trieste - Your guide will pick you up at the agreed starting point in Trieste - hotel, cruise terminal, train station etc. (please contact us after the booking so the appropriate arrangements can be made).
- Piran - Piran is one of the oldest and most beautiful Slovene towns with rich history and culture. Almost 500 years lasting Venetian influence has given this town an inimitable charm. Its culture heritage is not at home only in museums since the architectural and artistic pearls, which decorate the everyday life of the local people, can be found at every corner. Giuseppe Tartini, the world famous composer and violinist, who was born and raised in Piran, had a great impact on the town. Today, his bronze statue adorns the town’s main square together with Tartini’s house where visitors can admire one of his violins. The Tartini Square is surrounded by majestic buildings, such as the richly decorated Municipal Palace, Tartini Theatre, Maritime Museum, Aquarium, Marine Biological Station, Baroque House and Apollonio Palace. On the hill above the town is the biggest and most important church, the Church of Saint George, which offers a wonderful view. Piran’s town wall, narrow streets, fishermen’s nets, compact houses that rise up the slope and beautiful sea will give you the feeling of walking through a painting. On this panoramic trip along the Slovene coast you will also visit the coastal towns of Portorož, Izola and Koper, where a tourist guide will tell you about the main attractions, historical facts and local tradition.
- Portoroz - Portorož, which literally means ‘Port of Roses’, is a popular tourist destination with hotels, casinos and beautiful beaches. Nearby are located the Sečovlje natural salt pans where salts are extracted from the pure sea water using interesting traditional methods.
- Izola - At the end, we will visit Izola, which is known for its fishing history.
- Koper - Koper, an important European port and the largest city of the Slovene Coast.

Piran and Koper experience - Having free time in Piran and watching me tasting in a local bar. The visit to Koper although interesting was a bit short some time to explore would have been good.

Overpriced experience - Walking and exploring Piran. This was an expensive day tour for what we received. We found out that late bookings got a $50 Aus dollar discount to what we paid. Not impressed.

Terrible - The tour was cancelled by tour operator just the day before because of heavy traffic in high season. Terrible.
