Our guide Moric was excellent! He gave us comprehensive background in history, geography, and current events while we toured. The horse farm was lovely and it was very fun to watch them perform. We would love to return to Slovenia to experience more of that beautiful country!

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

Good communication with this personable and friendly man who manages to be a few places at once! He runs the bike company and a youth hostel where the bike tour takes off from where the garden is beautiful and you get to enjoy his own olive oil if you are lucky, and taste the local salt from the flats. Andrej picked us up on time in Tartini Square and took us about a 10 min drive to his youth hostel where the bikes are. He gave us good instruction as we had never ridden an ebike before. We wore helmets. We happened to be the only two with him on this tour. He had run a few other tours already that day, so we lucked out with a private tour. Bring a backpack or something if needed. No baskets on the bikes. Small seats! He has top notch ebikes that really have the right engines and turbo. We climbed some high hills, and though we had to peddle some, I was never out of breath with my asthma as the motor really takes over. We could never have biked this route with a regular bike, but we are not in top shape and in our 50s. There were plenty of younger, regular bikers out there enjoying the stupendous views and back roads. Andrej led us on back roads, through tunnels, salt flats, towns and countryside. Gorgeous vantage viewpoints! We chose to see Portoroz, Izola and the Strunjen Park on our tour. Loved riding so close to vineyards, olive trees, and fruit trees. We were on main roads a very short time and the drivers were very courteous to go around us. The bikes are easy to ride. A little tricky if you happen to hit the peddle making a turn as the turbo kicks in. We stopped for a beer in town overlooking the Izola marina. Such a fabulous bike trip with great info on the areas from Andrej. Our tour ran over since none of us had plans right away. Lots of stops along the way for photos and to get off a bike a few minutes. Highly recommend this bike tour! Easy and fun. Great way to see the area and the views from sea level to high vantage points. Thanks!

We went from Piran to Venice with a stop in Trieste. Peter gave us a history of the areas that we drove through as well some interesting nuggets of information about Trieste and Piran. What I really appreciated with Peter was his insider knowledge of the places but also the roads. He paid such careful attention to detail that he texted me a couple of days before our trip and suggested a different departure time because he was watching the traffic patterns (rush hour, construction, road closures.) This was so much appreciated! He was also 5 minutes past his arrival time, but he texted me about 20 minutes before his arrival time to let me know he was stuck in traffic. He really understands what travellers needs are and ensures that you don't have to worry about the little details. He really made sure that you were having a good vacation and was happy to answer questions about the country from historical topics to modern. I wish I spoke to him longer on our drive, but I feel asleep! Note that I can get car sick but his driving was so smooth that I was lulled to sleep. Thank you Peter!

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.
