Piran
180 min
Piran is one of the oldest and most beautiful Slovene towns with rich history and culture. Almost 500 years lasting Venetian influence has given this town an inimitable charm. Its culture heritage is not at home only in museums since the architectural and artistic pearls, which decorate the everyday life of the local people, can be found at every corner. Giuseppe Tartini, the world famous composer and violinist, who was born and raised in Piran, had a great impact on the town. Today, his bronze statue adorns the town’s main square together with Tartini’s house where visitors can admire one of his violins. The Tartini Square is surrounded by majestic buildings, such as the richly decorated Municipal Palace, Tartini Theatre, Maritime Museum, Aquarium, Marine Biological Station, Baroque House and Apollonio Palace. On the hill above the town is the biggest and most important church, the Church of Saint George, which offers a wonderful view. Piran’s town wall, narrow streets, fishermen’s nets, compact houses that rise up the slope and beautiful sea will give you the feeling of walking through a painting. On this panoramic trip along the Slovene coast you will also visit the coastal towns of Portorož, Izola and Koper, where a tourist guide will tell you about the main attractions, historical facts and local tradition.
Portoroz
Portorož, which literally means 'Port of Roses', is a popular tourist destination with hotels, casinos and beautiful beaches. Nearby are located the Sečovlje natural salt pans where salts are extracted from the pure sea water using interesting traditional methods.
Izola
At the end, we will visit Izola, which is known for its fishing history.
Koper
Koper, an important European port and the largest city of the Slovene Coast.

POOR experience!
Extremely disappointed in this tour operator. They described this as a small group tour with a cap of 15 people....we had 26 people in our group. When I reached out to the tour operator; they ghosted me. Another couple on the tour called customer care and were also met with a "sorry" but no explanation or refund. I could have paid less through my cruise ship for the same experience but opted to pay more for a small group and more personalized experience. The guide was also limited in their English speaking which made it difficult to understand what was being said. I would NOT recommend this company!
Operator response
We’re sorry you feel this way, but your review does not accurately reflect what happened. You booked a shared group tour, not a private tour. You also did not simply reach out to us, you demanded a partial refund based on claims that you paid more than other participants, which is not true. You paid exactly the same rate as the other participants. Your comparison with the cruise line is also incorrect, as their comparable excursion is significantly more expensive. Our guides are licensed and fluent in English, and the tour was provided as booked. Unfortunately, a refund cannot be justified simply because a customer booked a shared tour and expected a private experience.

Unforgettable tour
We thoroughly enjoyed our Slovenian Coast tour with Stefan, a proud native of Koper and a very knowledgeable guide. His passion for the region and excellent knowledge of the history of each coastal town made the tour both interesting and informative.
The tour was well organized, starting and ending promptly. We loved the scenic drive along the coast, and Piran was definitely a highlight. Stefan gave us enough free time to explore and enjoy this beautiful historic town before returning to Trieste. The wine tasting with food pairing was also a lovely touch.
A wonderful half-day tour that we highly recommend!

Trieste to Piran
Excellent tour, Stefan was extremely informative and a good driver. The tour round Piran in particular is worth the money, and the lunch and wine tsating was another highlight. No problem getting back to the cruise ship in time...

Charming Slovenian port, with Venetian origins and in need of many repairs.
Small and charming Slovenian port, where there are many Venetian traces.
Too bad that many beautiful houses are not yet renovated....
In the off season, few shops (1 grocery store at the end of the day), and, fortunately, some restaurants open.

Our group of eight was...
Our group of eight was met by our guide Dean right outside the cruise terminal. We were quickly underway in a very comfortable van. Dean pointed out some of the sights in Trieste as we made out way out of the city and on the road to Piran. We made stops along the way to admire the view of the ocean from turnouts high above the sea. Once in the lovely city of Piran (almost like a small Venice) Dean dropped us in the city square while he parked the van. That gave us an opportunity to get a coffee and people watch in the square. Once Dean rejoined us, he led us on a tour of the city, taking us high up the narrow walkway to the church where we were rewarded with breathtaking views. The walkways are quite narrow and quaint with cobblestones and centuries old buildings. Dean was a wonderful guide, full of interesting information. It was clear that he loved his job and his country. We had a wonderful 5 star experience!

Ernie is the BEST!
Ernie made the difference in the tour. I’ve been to 84 countries and he is the BEST driver and tour guide that I ever had on all my trips. Ernie knows what he is doing. He is knowledgeable and informative. He is a great driver. He has a nice personality and connects with his clients. Thank you very much Ernie for a wonderful day trip in Slovenia.
