Walk Piran with a local guide, then taste Istrian wines and small bites. Hill views, legends, and real local flavor in 2 hours.

“Jan was an excellent guide through the city. He spoke knowledgeably about the history and architecture of the region. The high point of the tour was the food and wine tasting at the new shop just off the main square near the harbor. The selection of local wines, meats, cheeses, and olive oils was amazing. Thanks, Jan!”

2.Škocjan UNESCO Caves and Piran Full-Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 138 reviews · 10 hours · from $101

Small-group day trip from Ljubljana to UNESCO Škocjan Caves, Socerb Castle views, and scenic Piran on Slovenia’s Adriatic coast.

“We had an amazing time at the beautiful Skocjan Caves - It is definitely a must see, completely different from Postojna Caves. We also enjoyed our half day exploring Piran - in the summer, you can swim in the Adriatic Sea. Our guide, Gorazd was very friendly, accommodating, knowledgable and shared so many facts about Slovenia throughout our drive. We even made it to additional stops along the way - a viewpoint where you can see Italy, Croatia and Slovenia and we were extremely lucky to see the Lipizzan horses in Lipica. Overall it was a great trip with a good guide and we had the best time.”
