But the town is far less crowded and had remained the spirit trough the years. Most of the residents still live there and give this town its unique atmosphere. Whether you will go up to see the church or just sit under the statue of Giuseppe Tartini- a famous violinist born in Piran, or wonder around just by walking its narrow streets, visit the towns market or have a glass of amazing Slovenian wine at the coast you will for sure fall in love with this amazing old town.

PLEASANT EXPERIENCE!!! - Our tour guide, Mia, provided us with an experience that will not soon be forgotten. She went out of her way to give us so much more historical and cultural information than we had received on many other tours. She made a point of stopping along our scenic route to give us photo opportunities, and took us on back roads where large coach tours had no access. Her demeanor was always so fresh and upbeat !!! Great tour !! Outstanding guide!!!

Very enjoyable, Piran and surrounds - We were met by Peter right outside the terminal customs, despite being delayed by a slow disembarkation. Maja drove us in a very nice vehicle to all of the spots as promised and facilitated our requirements. She gave us a great lunch recommendation and was a great conversationalist.Highly recommended.

Finest Hospitality and Commendable Service! - I would like to thank the guys for a wonderful experience. We booked one day earlier and Peter had made it sure that we will have nothing to worry and was able to answer our inquiries. On the trip, you will be given free will to decide which places you wanna try to have pictures, grab a snack or have a closer look. But the best part is, the driver also recommends a money and time saving alternatives with the same quality, like food, shopping, etc. The driver also knows the history and other information by heart, he is willing to answer all of our questions. In the end, we had exceeded our time because we requested for shopping time in the city, but without extra charges. We were back in the ship and Peter still made sure that we were safe and had fun throughout the trip. Highly Recommendable and Affordable!

Worthwhile experience - We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the seaside villages with Peter’s attentive dialogue and comfortable van. He spoke English beautifully and picked us up and dropped us off right at our hotel. His historical perspective on Slovenia was particularly interesting and he suggested an excellent restaurant for lunch.

Half day tour of Slovenian coastline. - We were picked up at our Hotel in Trieste, and shown to a pristine air conditioned van to start our tour. Our guide Andrej who spoke English as well as other languages made us feel comfortable and relaxed from the start. As he drove he explained and pointed out places of interest and history of the region. Our first stop was Koper followed by Isola and Pirhan. During our stops we had time to walk the streets and take time for photo opportunities. Andrej was friendly and informative at all times. At Pirhan we had time alone to enjoy the coastal town and have lunch. In fact the half day tour ran over to almost a full day, without additional charge. We had a wonderful day and at the end of the tour we were again taken back to our hotel.
