I cannot more strongly recommend the regional wine tasting my wife and I had in Trieste with Alpe Adria. Gabriele was the wine guide for the tasting. He was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Michele helped organize the event and we liked it so much we subsequently booked a tour of the Carso area just outside of Trieste which was also excellent. The wines chosen were excellent, accompanied by tasty salami and they adapted the event to my knowledge and enthusiasm for Friulian wine. Thanks guys!

The full day was great in whole. The caves are beautiful-definitely a sight you should see. There were a lot of students on trips but it's fine because you get put into a group with your own language guide. Horses are breathtaking and the history is interesting I wish we went on a day where the horses were "working" meaning you could ride them. We went on a Monday so that is the resting day for the Lipica horses-they train and trot all other days. Despite that, we had a lovely tour of the farm and interacted with the horses in their stables and learned about these unique majestic creatures. Pick up and drop off was right on time - car was comfortable and our guide found a good place for us to have lunch before taking us back into Trieste

My friend and I had only one day to explore Slovenia, so chose this tour with this company. Before we even left, Peter, our driver, called personally to reconfirm where and when we would meet, and then arrived right on time. Slovenia is a beautiful, clean country, and we loved hearing the stories along the way about the country and the places we would visit. The excursion was planned perfectly with just enough time for personal exploration without feeling rushed or herded along. In fact, because there was an overflow, our 8 person van included just the two of us. I so appreciated the fact that the tour wasn't just cancelled. That would have ruined all of our plans. If you are looking for a reliable, safe, congenial company and guide, this is the company to use. I travel a lot, and cruise often as well, so know how important it is to get back to port on time. I would thoroughly trust this company. As for Peter, our driver. He was so open, honest, and personable, it was like traveling with a trusted friend. He spoke wonderful English and displayed such a love and knowledge of his country. He gave us ideas as to where to go and offered a special lunch in Lake Bled. His knowledge of food and wine was most helpful. If you have even just one day to explore Slovenia, this is highly recommended.

We were 6 friends on our trip to Slovenia, only one weekend and wanted to sea as much as possible during this time, so we asked the City Concierge to make us some suggestions what to do and see, to make the most out of our short stay. They suggested us to join this tour the first day, and the second day we went all together to the Slovenian seaside. We had so much fun, at the end we visited Lake Bled, Postojna cave, Predjama castle, Piran, had a coffe in Trieste, Italy then joined Istrian olive oil tasting, tried some local goodies, went for Truffule hunting and tased some really great and amazing local wines. For us this was just amazing 2 days in Slovenia, the guys from the agency made us feel so welcome everywhere we went. They really did their best to make these 2 days unforgatable for us and we were so happy that we chose them to host us during our stay… We are already planning our Balkan tour together in Spring..can't wait..
