Piran and Scenic Slovenian Coast - Private Tour from Trieste

Nicholawhyment, Aug 2026

Amazing Slovenia

Good communication in the lead up to the excursion. Our guide Sandra was waiting for us as we walked out of the cruise terminal. She was really friendly and informative, we visited Koper to which she gave us a quick tour of the square and then headed to Piran where we had free time. To finish off we headed up in the hillside to a winery which had amazing views. I fully recommend this tour and a big thank you to Sandra for making our excursion so memorable!!

This experience was an unexpected gem! Our tour guide Ernie picked us up as on time and we headed out. Within a few minutes we were in Slovenia. Having never been before, Ernie did an outstanding job providing a historical and cultural perspective. At our stops we had the opportunity to sightsee and explore a little bit. Ernie was very knowledgeable and friendly providing a lively atmosphere. I couldn’t believe how quickly time flew by. Our last stop was a panoramic view of the coast and provided the opportunity to taste a couple of local wines. A great way to spend half a day!!

David was an outstanding guide for our Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle tour. He was flexible with our group’s pace, clearly knew the history inside and out, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of both stops. He made the drive between sites just as enjoyable as the cave and castle themselves, sharing context and stories along the way rather than just shuttling us between stops. If you’re booking this tour, ask for David, he elevated the whole experience

We had a wonderful day exploring Lake Bled and Ljubljana with Karmen during our port day in Trieste. Karmen was so friendly and knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information with us about the local area. She picked us up on time and stayed with us later than planned to maximize our time in Ljubljana. Our kids said it was their best day of our trip!

The Postojna Cave & Predjama Castle - Small Group Tour from Trieste

The Postojna Cave & Predjama Castle - Small Group Tour from Trieste was even better than we imagined! The Predjama Castle was absolutely incredible—built right against the wall, it’s a sight to behold. There were lots of stairs to climb, but we loved the architecture. The Postojna Cave was truly spectacular. Stephan, our driver, was so friendly and shared his knowledge of the region with our group.

Carl_V, May 2026

Probably the best Trieste tour guide

My wife and I enjoyed listening to the guided tour about the history of the city of Trieste. Sonya was really informative as she showed us around the main areas even during the rainy day. She stayed on top of the subject matter as we asked her questions around Piazza Unità d'Italia and Cattedrale di San Giusto Martire. Unfortunately she forgot her umbrella somewhere during the tour and we happened to have an extra one for her. I definitely would recommend her if you want someone with deep knowledge of the city.

Really great tour!

We had a great tour thanks to Stephan. The sights were amazing and he also took good care of us. A small group and lots of information but friendly, polite and not rushed. He is a proud Slovenian and enjoyed showing off his beautiful country. We especially enjoyed the castle and the ride there.

Private Transfer from Trieste to Venice Airport / Venice City

Gerry, Nov 2025

Best service ever

This was the most accommodating service I’ve ever used. I had to cut a vacation short due to an injury. I needed to get to the airport and I wanted to make sure I got there safely under the circumstances. I want t through you to set up the car service. My driver arrived and had to park a little outside of the area when he saw me he got with security so he was able to get closer. The entire ride he was checking on me, making sure it was OK and everything was good. We got to the airport and I needed assistance, but she was not allowed to go to the drop off point that the airline said to go to. we parked in an outside parking lot and he told me to wait in the car while he went inside. He came out and brought me someone to assist with the wheelchair. While that person pushed the chair, my driver carried my luggage into the airport. He did not leave my side until he assured that I was checked in and everything was good to go. Meanwhile, from the moment I booked the manager of the company, Damien, was in contact with me. He assisted every step of the way and followed up after everything was complete. I would recommend this company and the people involved in a heartbeat.
