What are people saying about Trieste

TRIESTE: Slovenian Coast Tour with Food and Wine Tasting

Teresa_J, Oct 2026

Great Introduction to Slovenia

Really lovely introduction to Slovenia. Our host Ernie, collected us and another couple from Trieste. The van was very new and comfortable. Ernie shared his knowledge of the areas we visited and was really personable. We had a lovely local lunch in Piran, wines and time to wander around and grab a coffee and some souvenirs. Slovenia was beautiful. The tour time was enough to give you enough of a taste to want to go back. The people we encountered with Ernie were courteous and polite, very welcoming and it was a really lovely experience. We also were able to share the experience with another couple from Brazil.

A great introduction to Trieste

Giaia provided a great introduction to the historically fascinating city of Trieste. She gave us an excellent account of the history and present day situation of Trieste through the lens her family and personal experience. A really valuable local guide. Our walking tour was quite strenuous, going into the old upper city and back down to the Jewish ghetto area and the Piazza Unite d’Italia. Be forewarned, you have to be in good physical shape to do the tour, but it’s very worthwhile.

Full day tour to Lake Bled & Ljubljana from Trieste-private tour

Tracie_B, Sep 2026

A perfect day in beautiful Slovenia!

What a perfect day in the gorgeous country of Slovenia! Crt, our personal guide, took us to Lake Bled where we visited the castle overlooking the stunning lake. He then took us to a little, charming, medieval village of Radovljica - absolutely no tourists here. Then on to the capital, Ljubljana, where we enjoyed a traditional Slovenian lunch, and then a walking tour of the historic part of this beautiful city. We especially loved the awe inspiring Church of St Nicholas. This was a truly special day spent with a warm and gracious guide!

David was an outstanding...

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

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.

Great tour in lovely Slovenia!

We loved our guide, who is originally from Slovenia, and the driver! Great information en route, and very kind to me with limited mobility due to knee injury. Be aware of fast paced walking in cave, often uphill. Bring a jacket for cave, but chill air was so welcome in contrast to outdoor heat wave! Recommend this combined tour, especially because of our Guide!

Private Trieste Sightseeing Tour

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.

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.
