Great day with a great guide - The cave is outstanding but it’s 3 kilometers and 500 steps, plus a lot of sloping up and down walkways. My watch said I climbed 59 stories. Piran is an attractive coastal town - only 4000 residents. Not too crowded for his time of year. The guide was great. Shares much knowledge of Slovenia and the sites we saw. Highly recommend!

Excellent trip and an excellent guide! - The caves are amazing... well worth the trip and the cost. Out guide - Jure - couldn't have been more accommodating. He gave us lots of info about the locations and Slovenia and made the trip brilliant. When we got to Piran it was raining very hard so we all agreed to cut that part a little short, which was a shame but, given the conditions, it was good to have some flexibility.

Skocjan caves and Piran tour - Our host was a superb guide on our visit to the caves and Piran. She is an accomplished professional with deep knowledge of the history and culture of Ljubljana and Piran and possesses excellent communication skills. She constantly checked to ensure that her clients were comfortable, could hear her and knew that they could ask questions whenever they wanted. She also shared some aspects of her own life that showed us what it is like to live in Slovenia today. Brava! Thank you!

Beautiful experience - Our guide, Jan, was excellent. He had a very good command of English and made sure to convey a lot of Slovenian history and geography to us. The caves themselves were an awesome site. You felt like you were in another world. The tour, however, needs to be clearer on the degree of exertion. As an older person this was not easy. There were a lot of inclines up and down and a lot of stairs. Anybody with medical conditions or heart conditions definitely need to avoid this.

A wonderful experience - Nina was an excellent guide for this trip. Explaining all the history and so nice to be with. The cave was awesome with a river running through it. Piran in the afternoon was lovely to hang out in, climb the church tower and see the Adriatic sea and eat at the Pavel restaurant.

This tour was wonderful.... - This tour was wonderful. The caves were great but it should be noted it is an active tour level 3. A long walk to begin, once in the caves another 1.5 hours of walking and many, many stairs. That said very interesting. Our time in Piran was amazing. What a perfect little Adriatic seaside village.
