Great Way to See Piran! - Norman was a great guide for the four of us through the town of Piran. He had an answer for all of our questions, even the left-field ones, and some good anecdotes as we walked around. If you don't have a ton of time in town, this is especially a good way to get around the town and see the highlights in a short amount of time. At the end, he also gave us a great restaurant recommendation for dinner.
