Arnold_G, Oct 2024

Very interesting tour through the countryside and historical areas. Guide was helping us to understand past and present events in this complex region of Europe. Town of Piran was fascinating and local hospitality was very warm.

Great tour of the Slovenian coast

William_S, Sept 2024

Our guide, Ernest Prislic was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the history and was able to answer any questions we had. He was always aware of the group and our safety. We all had a thoroughly enjoyable day. The only improvement would be to add an hour to the time so more free time could be had in Piran. Highly recommend Lisa

Itinerary

  • Trieste

    Your guide will pick you up at the agreed starting point in Trieste - hotel, cruise terminal, train station etc. (please contact us after the booking so the appropriate arrangements can be made).

  • Piran

    Piran is one of the oldest and most beautiful Slovene towns with rich history and culture. Almost 500 years lasting Venetian influence has given this town an inimitable charm. Its culture heritage is not at home only in museums since the architectural and artistic pearls, which decorate the everyday life of the local people, can be found at every corner. Giuseppe Tartini, the world famous composer and violinist, who was born and raised in Piran, had a great impact on the town. Today, his bronze statue adorns the town’s main square together with Tartini’s house where visitors can admire one of his violins. The Tartini Square is surrounded by majestic buildings, such as the richly decorated Municipal Palace, Tartini Theatre, Maritime Museum, Aquarium, Marine Biological Station, Baroque House and Apollonio Palace. On the hill above the town is the biggest and most important church, the Church of Saint George, which offers a wonderful view. Piran’s town wall, narrow streets, fishermen’s nets, compact houses that rise up the slope and beautiful sea will give you the feeling of walking through a painting. On this panoramic trip along the Slovene coast you will also visit the coastal towns of Portorož, Izola and Koper, where a tourist guide will tell you about the main attractions, historical facts and local tradition.
