Wonderful night! Klin vinyards
Katrina, our guide was also the owner of her own vinyard called Klin! Very interesting lady she actually went to school to become an architect and gave it all up to work her land. Very interesting history about the Prosecco this region she lives in particular and the history of her region and how it relates to the Slovenian and Italian history. Wonderful charcuterie, and lovely wines. She doesn’t sell commercially. I would definitely come back if I’m in the region to get some more we appreciated her, sharing her knowledge and her lovely Vinyard with us.!

Caves and castle were amazing! 45 minute drive in a comfortable bus. The only hitch was a lack of communication regarding what kind of vehicle to look for and a miscommunication as to the meeting place.

Young Family Visits Slovenia

Young Family Visits Slovenia
We traveled off a cruise ship in Trieste with four children, 10 and under. Sandra met us right at the cruise ship terminal and was amazing from the start. She provided a perfect amount of information and was always open for questions. Our main sites were Koper and Piran. We personally loved the scenery of Piran and having time to walk and eat. Sandra treated our children to gelato at our final stop at a winery. We would 100% recommend this tour to young families. You have to take the opportunity to see the beauty of Slovenia. If you are lucky to have Sandra, you’ll have a warm and knowledgeable guide.

Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle – Private Tour from Trieste
David_W, Sep 2026
Fantastic and interesting tour
Our driver and guide, Maurizio, was knowledgeable and fun. He talked with us during the drive the entire way. The caves are spectacular. The cave system is very large and there are so many interesting and unique formations that we took a lot of pictures. However, the experience is a bit commercial - you wait in long lines, then board a train, and then travel very fast into the caves. Our group was huge with maybe 100 people for just one guide in the caves. Her commentary was brief and almost impossible to hear. Nevertheless, the caves themselves were fantastic. We also saw the castle built into another cave system. Lots of stairs but interesting. After lunch at a nice restaurant near the castle, we drove back to Trieste, stopping to see and pet the white Lipizzaner horses on the way.

Lily_P, Sep 2026
Great day trip
We had such a great day on this tour with our guide Norman he was brilliant. He gave us lots of information on the drive over and was happy to answer any questions.Once we arrived we went to the castle first which was really interesting learning about the history there and taking pictures :) I would recommend wearing trainers or boots as some of the climbs are a little steep/slippery inside.We also had an audio guide provided which was great. Then we moved onto the caves where we had an unforgettable experience on the train to enter. I’m not a big ride person really and it’s so good for anyone/all ages as it’s such a fun activity. The caves were magnificent, there is so much to see. We spent about an hour walking around and then finished by looking at some of the salamanders that live there.It was a great day trip!

Great Excursion to Slovenia
We were picked up at the industrial port in Trieste. Van was nice and large enough. We had to stop to pick up some other guests then visited Koper. Not a whole lot there-town square with some older buildings.Then we were driven to Piran-a seaside Slovenian town. Included in our ticket was a tasting of wine and some bread, fish, and cheese. Our guide told us interesting I information about the area and gave us clear instructions to meet after a guided tour. We climbed high up to the church for an amazing view.We changed our number from 15 to 12 and notified far in advance, but tour company wouldn’t change our Price. People were added to our excursion so we didn’t have extra room or anything. So if you have any changes, I guess I’d cancel and rebook to get the number of people and correct price.

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!
