“Perfect for enjoying local cuisine in a group setting! Jan did everything to explain to us not only details on dishes and foods, but also included little facts about Piran itself. As a solo traveler I was nervous partaking in a group activity, but Jan is so cheerful and wonderful it is like hanging out with a friend! It helped make the experience more relaxing for everyone involved. Thank you Jan for giving us a literal taste of Piran. Everything was delicious and tasted fresh!”

“Vanesa was fantastic!! We went to a bunch of great spots and learned about food and wine regions along the way. One of the spots we liked so much we went back that night for dinner. And she had great recos, we ended up going to almost all of them while in the city and there wasn't a miss. I'm vegetarian and Vanesa didn't know beforehand. (I had emailed and conformed but I think there was a miscommunication and she didn't know before we arrived.) I was more than fine to skip food at some of the spots, but she was so quick to accommodate at every stop. Awesome experience.…”

Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
