The whole day went very smoothly, our driver David was very informative, giving lots of information about the day ahead, the destinations, gave lots of information about the local history and was more than happy to answer any questions. David also gave a tour around Piran before leaving us with some free time. The caves are really interesting and worth visiting, although sadly we were told at the venue that we were not aloud to take any photos when walking through the caves. It wasn’t the end of the world though. It was recommended to take a top for…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 234 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $125

Travel from Ljubljana in a minivan limited to eight people, walking through UNESCO-listed Škocjan Caves, pausing at Lipica, and spending up to three hours in seaside Piran. Guides such as Klemen, Tiaša, Anna, and Primož Novak are praised for clear local history and flexible planning. Cave admission, food, and wine tasting cost extra.

“One of the best parts of this trip is you don't have to worry about having tickets to the cave. They were sold out but the tour has them reserved so it works out better. This trip is a lot of driving. It is a good way to see the country without having to worry about driving yourself. However, it may be too many stops for one day. And my group elected to not do the Prosciutto and wine tasting stop. Which by the way, per our guide, is a random stop at a restaurant or bar. It's not even at a winery or place that makes Prosciutto. Piran is…”

I don’t recommend it for anyone who has problems with their health or trouble walking many kilometers and steep stairs, though. Piran was just adorable and there was just enough time for lunch and a swim in the sea.”

“Our guide Gorazd was extremely knowledgeable about his stunning home country. The caves are amazing ensure that you wear non slip shoes as the floor can be a little slippery in places. Be prepared to walk up and down stairs there not steep and you can go at your own pace so it’s not that bad and the caves are worth it. At the end of the caves you catch a lift to the top and the last 47 steps to the lift are the worse. All said it’s a must whilst here. Piran is a quaint little fishing village with a beautiful harbour the walk along the sea front…”
