Da Lubiana: Pirano Tour di mezza giornata

It was incredible once we arrived at Piran, but what you can’t plan for is Slovenian traffic. Our time in the city felt really short because we sat in an additional hour of traffic and our guide shared some odd anti-immigrant views along the way (making it a reallllly long journey). It was a heavenly city with amazing history; I just would sign up for a trip that’s a full day, not half, in case there are traffic issues and to really enjoy the city.

Utterly dreadful trip. Lack of aircon in the van + microphone didn’t work. Our guide was terrible and was only interested in pandering to the angry Spanish ladies. The guided walk round piran was a waste of time - would have been better if they just gave you a lift to the seaside and let you do your own thing. Worst trip I’ve ever paid for.

Great tour! Our tour guide was incredible and gave detailed explanations about Ljubljana, Piran and everything in between! We really appreciated his level of knowledge and came away with a much better understanding of Slovenia. Piran was beautiful and we are so happy we chose to book this. Sadly I am not sure of our guide's name (he was previously a journalist if that helps identify him), but he is a legend!

We were very disappointed with the way this tour was handled. Bastian was a great guide who gave a lot of information and was very friendly. We were picked up almost on time, which was fine. The driver/guide could not find any names on his schedule, but we departed with the right amount of guests. Me and my friend were asked to sit in the front , squeezed on the dashboard for hours. There is actually only 1 proper space up front next to the driver, not suitable for 2. Bastian on several times talked to clients behind him, turning his head around, whilst driving over a 100 km per hour on the highway. The van was swerving every time, which was definitely unsafe. He was also on his cell phone, without hands free. The stay in Piran was as promised and beautiful, but the return trip was a disaster. There was very heavy traffic. We left Piran at 12 pm, exactly on time. Because there was so much traffic our driver would not be able to make it for his 2 pm departure from Ljubljana. He therefore arranged with another driver to swap vans at some gas station. This meant an extra detour and a wait till the other van had arrived. . We returned to the city hotel at 3.17 pm instead of the arranged 1.30 pm. Almost 2 hours over time. We were more than 3 hours in the van on the dashboard. We were leaving for the airport that afternoon and with this late arrival we had no time whatsoever to do things in town anymore. With the Lake Bled excursion with Viator the day before we were very happy.

Beautiful Venetian city on Adriatic Sea. Lovely seaside dinner and walk. Explored the church and narrow alleyways.

This was a good tour to get a preview of Piran. The pick up was on time and our guide catered for people's needs and was flexible with what everyone wanted to do. He provided a lot of interestung information about Slovenia. Piran was a pretty place to wander the streets and walking up to the wall provided beautiful views of the city and across to croatia and Triest.

It may depend on the vehicle that the company uses, but I was attracted to this tour as it said 'travel in air conditioned comfort.' Well the van was very warm, I was in the back seat to start with but it was so hot I had to move, but even in the middle row it was too hot for me. I think the driver will be looking into this re the air cond not reaching into the back, but it is not a large vehicle and you are sitting very close to others. It was not cool enough for me, although on the return I sat in the front and that was good. Our guide Igor was a lot of fun and we had plenty of laughs with him, he is a very good driver.

Best tour guide EMMA was terrific. Her love of Slovenia and taking us to Piran was so great with all the information she provided about our destination and the city of Ljubljana and the countryside we passed by far was beyond expectations.

We had a wonderful time on this excursion- the weather was perfect for a coastal visit and the transport provided was clean and comfortable. A huge shout out to our guide Kolja! He is well versed in the history of Slovenia, as well as neighboring countries like Italy. He was polite, engaging, and balanced our guided time with our free time very well. Highly recommend this tour!

Kolja, our guide, went out of his way to allow us to enjoy this scenic tour. He has been very patient with us, was well organized, giving us clear instructions and providing insightful responses to our questions. He was particularly knowledgeable about the history of Slovenia and the many influences that shaped the country. Piran is a gorgious place, right on the Adriatic Sea, if you are travelling through Slovenia, it is a must to visit.
