“We were a group of 6 woman, lifelong friends, celebrating life in our 50’s so imagine how thrilled we were when we toured the beautiful Slovenian coast with Mateja!! We fell in love with her and her country! We were on a 9 day cruise and scheduling and meeting up with Mateja was organized and easy. She shared much history about her country and much about their culture as she toured us through the coastal towns and to Piran. What a beautiful and historic town Piran is. We ended the day at a winery overlooking Koper. It was a splendid day enjoyed by all of us. I would most highly…”

4.Piran and Panoramic Slovenian Coast from Koper

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $106

Travel from Koper to Piran, Portorož, and Izola in a small group of up to 15. Walk Piran’s Venetian lanes and Tartini Square, enjoy food and wine tasting, and get flexible hotel or port pickup.

“This tour was grossly overpriced at £140 for what turned out for me to be a two hour tour of Piran. The guide for Piran was not even going to take us onto the town walls and was just going to walk past them until I asked him to take us there which he agreed to and all enjoyed the experience. The tour description is also very misleading as it says the tour is in English, whereas it was actually conducted in Engliah and Italian. I feel clients should be told in advance if a tour is going to be multilingual so they can choose not to go on it.…”
