Pretty Piran by the Sea in Slovenia

Michaele_B, Aug 2023

I really loved the city of Piran, by the sea and just spectacularly beautiful. The shopping was good nice assortment of mementos. I was especially pleased with the purchase of a black ship captains hat to expand my collection!

Thank you very much for your comment!

Great day trip

David_G, Jul 2023

What a great trip. Very reasonably priced. Courteous staff and knowledgeable guide. Piran is a beautiful town, with lots of interesting places to visit. Excellent.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for your kind words! We are really happy you had great experience and enjoyed our beautiful Piran. All best

Wish I could have experienced this tour.

Casey_Y, Jun 2023

Probably very unfair. I didn't actually go on this tour because I found out when I got to the meeting point quite far from Ljubljana where I was staying, that the tour date had been changed to the day before because of a cruise stop schedule change. The tour operator had tried to inform me through the Viator messaging system, but I didn't think to check it until I found no one at the meeting point. I wish I could have experienced it, and would recommend you do so. Just double check that the tour is actually going.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Very sorry this happened to you! But indeed cruise schedule can be changed at any time and along with that, also tour departures. It is very important, as you already stated, to check the Viator messages at least day or 2 before the tour, because we always reach out to travellers if something happens or changes. We do hope to welcome you again in Slovenia and on any of our tours! All best!

Piran

Helen_F, May 2023

A 30 minute bus ride through some lovely scenery brought us to the seaside town of Piran where we spent the next two hours. We walked around the port, up to the church and onto the city walls. We still had enough time to enjoy a lovely glass of wine in the square

Response from Host, May 2023

Helen we are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us a 5-Star review. Kind Regards Ivan Tratnik

Worth it.

Beautiful Piran

Martin_D, May 2022

Booked this tour Online. Very good communication from Instranka Tours. Kiosk is just outside cruise terminal gate. Very pleasant staff. Mini bus was air conditioned but uncomfortable with little leg room. PA system very poor so missed most of the commentary from our guide. Would be better with pre-recorded commentary and good audio system. The drive itself however took us through beautiful countryside and dropped us off in Piran, which is a beautiful seaside town. We were allocated a very pleasant 2 hours to explore. Very enjoyable. Returned to port via some beautiful beaches. Can recommend this tour despite audio problems.

Response from Host, May 2022

Hello, Thank you very much for your review! We are very glad you enjoyed the tour overall. We appreciate your comment regarding PA system, we will definitely do our best to solve this kind of issue. Hope to welcome you again in Slovenia in the future!
