Good value, excellent driver/guide Jan - Jan was punctual, leaving the RDV site at 8:30 am with a total of 5 passengers. We alone stayed longer inside Skocjan Cave because of an emergency. Jan was very patient and promised not to miss or short anything on the itinerary. The commentary was clear, relevant, and relatable. He recommended an unique lunch venue -- memorable Fritolin Pri Cantini in Piran. We never would have found it on our own. The final destination was Predjama Castle, a remarkable example of a huge castle cut into the karst side of a mountain. Unbelievable! Jan returned us safe and sound at 6:15. He made this excursion satisfying.

Great tour! - Loved this tour! Cave very cool. Still don’t understand why you can’t take photos in it. No one could tell me why—without a flash, there is no damage to anything. Piran was wonderful! We all wanted to stay longer (2 hours was not enough). Really just drove thru edge of Lipica.

Good way to spend a day - Such a lovely day out to see the coastal vibe of Slovenian. Firstly the caves are amazing, don’t really know what yo expect initially but wow, the caves are a sight to see, no photos so you just experience it. Piran is a lovely coastal town, very italian coastal vibes as a old Venetian town. Plus our driver and guide was wonderful.

Fabulous day trip - A packed and varied programme which would be impossible to do independently in a day. The stunning caves were the highlight (although you have to be nimble to manage the terrain and stairs!) - all the sights were rewarding/fascinating/enjoyable.

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.

TERRIBLE TOUR - The Skocjan Cave is an awful, dangerous place to go. The ground is slippery and there was nothing exciting to see. A complete waste of time and money. Piran is just an ordinary little fishing town.

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.
