Great tour to škocjan caves and Piran - Excellent tour. Tajša was great. The pace of the tour and the small group size were just right. Most importantly, the places visited were phenomenal. Highly recommended!

A terrific, flexible day with great guide - Had a great time on this trip, but due to weather predictions we changed the order of activities so that we got to the coast before it rained, saw the cave which is the most incredible one I've seen to date, saw the horses but unfortunately missed the show due to time rearrangements but lastly, the best part was our wine tasting excursion to a small family winery who treated us very well with wonderful wines and charcuterie board. Anna, our guide, went above and beyond.

An amazing full day of fun! - This was the absolute perfect day trip from Ljubljana! It covered all the sights we wanted to visit without us having to worry about driving and parking. We especially loved the Skocjan Caves! We had a small group of only 5 people, and 4 of us decided to do the long route through the caves. We never felt rushed. The 2 hours spent in Piran was the perfect amount of time to get lost in the streets and have lunch. We also loved our guide, who provided a lot of history and information about the Karst region.

Ana-mazing Day Trip – A Must-Do in Slovenia! - This tour was one of the absolute highlights of my time in Slovenia! Ana, our guide, was incredible – so knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. She really brought the places we visited to life and made the whole day feel seamless and enjoyable. The Škocjan Caves were an unforgettable experience – truly breathtaking and unlike anything I’ve seen before. Without a doubt, one of my favourite attractions in the country. Piran was the perfect contrast – a charming coastal town full of character and much quieter than other touristy spots. It was lovely to explore and see a different side of Slovenia. If you’re visiting Ljubljana and want a day trip that combines natural wonders, coastal beauty, and expert guiding, I couldn’t recommend this tour enough!

Wonderful day! - The entire day was cool and rainy but we had an excellent time. Tiaja-not sure of the spelling-was excellent! She was a good driver and shared so much history with us and also told us about contemporary life in Ljubjana and Slovenia. The caves were quite a workout with all of the steps but well worth it and we earned the stop for prosciutto and wine! The Lippizaner horses were huddled in the rain as we drove the road through the pastures. Pouring rain and gale force winds met us in Piran, but were just part of the adventure! We had excellent seafood and pasta dinners. The photo stop at the Predjama Castle was a good ending on the drive back to Ljubjana.

Fun day - It was a fun, full day but I could have lived without the quick picture stop at Predjama Castle. I had already been there! Jan was very knowledgeable!!

Disappointed - The Skocjan Caves were absolutely fabulous and a must-see. However, our trip was more being driven to locations to explore on our own rather than a tour.

Cancelled by operator the night before - NOT GOOD ENOUGH - The operator cancelled this tour at 7 pm the night before - what was going to be a highlight of my trip. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS UNRELIABLE COMPANY.
