I had very low expectations for this excursion because I booked it at the last minute and the two previous ones I had booked were less than I expected. Was I surprised! This was the best excursion I had and the best value for my money! I would definitely do it again. Really enjoyed the visit to Piran but most especially the visit to the local village and the sampling of local foods, wines and music that was included! What a special treat and great way to spend the day. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Very nice tour!

Memorable experience. Robbie, Robert & Stefan were absolutely amazing. I recommend this tour, the knowledge of Stefan was incredible, even in the pursuing storm that was approaching!! Robert took us to Panda for a tasting experience of local produce which was such an everlasting experience. Thankyou Robbie for assisting us with our tour which Viator had not communicated to you!!!
Fantastic guides....

Our guide, Mauricio, was terrific. On Sept. 26th, he introduced us not only to the beautiful seaside town of Piran but also gave us a very informed view of the march of history throughout the entire region. Excellent job!
Knowledgeable and accomodating
