Amazing Cave System

5.00This tour is a must see. The caves are amazing, amongst the most spectacular anywhere. The time spent in Piran is also worthwhile for seeing the waterfront restaurants. The only drawback is there are several hours of travel involved in this tour
Amazing day out at natural canyon cave and lovely seaside town of Piran

5.00This is a great combination of nature, physical activity and relaxed time at a beautiful seaside town. The caves are truly spectacular. Enormous cavernous areas with rushing water through it. We were lucky that it had rained recently so the river was surging and cascading dramatically. Bit of a hike up steps on the way back but nothing the average person couldn't manage. Then a short drive to Piran. A pretty village with great seafood restaurants and quaint buildings. Great views over to Italy and Croatia. Ness our guide was excellent! She is friendly and helpful and knew exactly what information we all wanted to hear. Highly recommend.
Disappointing

2.00It was a really bad start. I booked the tour online and was not given or asked for a pick up spot. I sent an email to ask and waited all day long and still did not receive a reply, even though they had already taken my money (so I couldn’t cancel). I called, they didn’t answer the phone. By the end of the day, I felt stressed and didn’t know what to do. Called again and finally had someone answer, who gave me a pick up spot and then said they’d send a confirmation email - they didn’t. When the guide arrived 20 minutes late, he was not that pleasant. I was already upset, already felt unattended to and was travelling solo. He was rude when I asked him a question, he spoke down to me. While the caves were beautiful, I could not fully appreciate them as I was separated from my group, and left at the back of a long line of people. The town of Pirhan was pretty but the restaurant recommendations made were for very expensive restaurants. I ended up going off on my own to find food and to walk the town. I would recommend doing these spots on your own or with another company as it really was not worth my money or the added stress I received. I went to enjoy nature but the disappointment I felt really got in the way.
Great tour. Friendly guide.

Skocjan Caves & Piran! a day in Adriatic Coast .

5.00We had a wonderful guide, Miha or Mike, who narrated and answered questions on our way to the first stop-the UNESCO cave. While inside the massive cave area, this part of the tour was led by the park service guide. No pictures are allowed inside the cave. It needs to be known before booking, that the cave has approximately 500 steps and concrete walkways consisting of long inclines. We had 4 in our group. As long as this is known ahead of time, this is an awe inspiring place to visit. We were prepared for coldness underground, but it stays at a comfortably cool 12*C. The views of Piran were lovely. As you stand by the Adriatic Sea, you can see Croatia to the left and Italy to the right! We stayed 3 hours,. An hour for lunch and and hour for exploring. There is not much shopping to be done here, except for the Piran Salt shop!!
A great day filled with nature, history and culture
