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

5.00Tibor is deeply knowledgeable about Slovenia and the sights he showed us. He shared his love of Slovenia and helped us better understand the country, its culture — and its cuisine (lots of good tips as to what and where to eat!). He set us up well to appreciate Skojcan caves and Piran. And he was just fun to spend time with! A great experience and well worth the money!

5.00I had an amazing time on this full day tour with I believe her name is Dharja. On the way to the caves, she gave a detailed explanation on the history of Ljubljana, the nature and the mountains. On arrival, she showed us this beautiful view of the Dolines as well. I unfortunately lost my ticket right before going inside the caves, however Dharja was so kind and assured me I should still be able to go in. She was very understanding and managed to get me inside!! The caves themselves was BEAUTIFUL!! The real mind-blowing part is how big it is inside, all below surface level!! I recommend taking exit 2 to get some views before heading back to the parking lot. I went end of September so it can be a bit warm walking up from the bottom of the mountain. Piran was incredible! We had 1 hour free time on arrival, a guided talk through Piran with Dharja where she shared interesting facts and amazing views, then another hour of free time before heading back. You can also swim if you want. Absolutely loved my time on this tour 😊
