Tour Options
Itinerary
Trieste, gorgeous seaside scenery, castles, caves and of course the city itself. Nestled in Italy’s northeast corner, embraced by green hills in one and the Mediterranean sea on the other with the snow capped Dolomites to the north. No city can claim to have a more majestic setting in an unique position between Latin, Germanic and Slavic lands. Trieste is unlike any other city in Europe.
The tour will take you to Miramare Castle which stands on the tip of the promontory overlooking the sea. The Castle is surrounded by a beautiful park with valuable botanical species where one can relax. This noble residence commissioned by Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Habsburg and his wife Charlotte was built between 1856 and 1860.

Beautiful castle and loved the history behind it with the AustrianHungarian empire. Tram ride was cool too.
Ernest took us on a quiet, relaxed drive near the bay to the Miramar Castle and gardens - ENJOY a cafe ! Then a panoramic drive up to a modern church with stunning views;
Miramare castle and the arrogant Maximillian family was an interesting visit. The gardens are nice. The view spectacular.
Dean was personable, informative giving a wonderful tour of Trieste and its hills. We saw the beautiful Miramere Castle where we also walked it lovely grounds. We were also able to see the Sanctuary of Monte Grisa.
Our tour guides were great. They were very patient with this group of seniors! Pick up & drop off was at the cruise terminal, very convenient.
Great tour. Our Guide had some challenging guests in our group and he handled it like a professional
This was a wonderful tour. The castle is beautiful as well as the gardens. Go early as it gets crowded fast. And be prepared to walk a lot. Our guide was wonderful.
What a very nice tour guide, however his ability to answer questions was limited. He provided commentary during the tour and was very attentive to us. He treated us all with respect and helped us as needed. However, when we were in Trieste - actually he didn't tour Trieste at all - I asked him one question and he said he didn't know anything about Trieste because he lived in Slovenia and we should go there and he could give us a good tour. That was very disappointing. If you are going to have someone, give a tour of someplace then that person should know about it. Also, my ticket said I would be picked up at my hotel, but the email said at a central spot. It was very confusing what was to happen and the customer support I had in reference to this was not good. I am not the only one on this tour that had this complaint.
Dean is an amazing tour guide! Fantastic knowledge and a gentle soul. Highly, Highly recommend this tour!
We had a good trip. Stephano helped us as my husband had some medical issues. He could not have more involved. First class guy.
