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.”

15.Piran and Panoramic Slovenian Coast from Koper

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $106

Half-day from Koper to Piran with a guided Venetian walk plus food and wine tasting, then scenic views in Portorož and Izola.

“This tour was grossly overpriced at £140 for what turned out for me to be a two hour tour of Piran. The guide for Piran was not even going to take us onto the town walls and was just going to walk past them until I asked him to take us there which he agreed to and all enjoyed the experience. The tour description is also very misleading as it says the tour is in English, whereas it was actually conducted in Engliah and Italian. I feel clients should be told in advance if a tour is going to be multilingual so they can choose not to go on it.…”
