Great overview of Piran
Marijana provided a great overview and orientation for our short visit to Piran. The pace was relaxed and informative as we spent about 90 minutes walking through the streets of the old town. All of our questions were answered!

Piran history walk
Walk through Piran with a private guide. She was informative and guided us with a leisurely pace. Our guide was very helpful with showing the sights of the city and the spectacular views. The easy hike to church allowed the most memorable views

Typical Venetian town
Typical Venetian town, very nice to visit on foot starting from the central square (Piazza Tartini) of the town and continuing to the end of the isthmus.

Great Way to See Piran!
Norman was a great guide for the four of us through the town of Piran. He had an answer for all of our questions, even the left-field ones, and some good anecdotes as we walked around. If you don't have a ton of time in town, this is especially a good way to get around the town and see the highlights in a short amount of time. At the end, he also gave us a great restaurant recommendation for dinner.

Great walk seeped in history

The most beautiful city on the Slovenian coast
The small town, which can be reached by shuttle bus after leaving its vehicle in the parking lot outside the city, is organized around Tartini Square in tribute to the famous composer and violinist. A very Venetian campanile dominates it. The small port is quiet and very colorful. Here too, the narrow streets bring their freshness and are very pleasant to walk. The peninsula gradually shrinks to become the light tower.
