Review of Ljubljana’s Škocjan Caves and Piran day trip, with cave tips, Socerb Castle views, costs, timing, and advice on who should book.
“Pick up from different places (if asked), stories about trip and Slovenia through all the ride with a little side tour just to see more. Precise with time table and good atmosphere. Škocjan caves absolutely amazing, but can"t take photos inside (slipery and dark), but you can finally focus on the beauty. Piran - stunning and great food!”

“My tour guide, Mr. Emil is a very considerate and kind gentleman. He taught me so many things related to history of Slovenia, geography and culture during the road trip. Appreciated very much!! Talking about the trip, the Skocjan cave was so stunning. I was like being in a magical underworld that I had never seen places like this before. I enjoyed the tranquility and the echo of each droplet fell from the ceiling as well. We also visited Piran. It is a small town but the food there was so good. Climbing up to the Piran Wall, you will see the beautiful view of the whole peninsula.”
Review the Ljubljana day trip to Škocjan Caves and Piran, with practical advice on stairs, costs, guides, timing, Lipica, and value.
“Both locations are fabulous to visit and guide was very good and informative. It’s a well worth doing trip. We felt a bit rushed in Piran to get lunch. I’d recommend we do the guided walking tour right away upon arrival then leave remaining time for lunch. Also, the description of the level of difficulty of the caves could be clearer. There’s a lot of stairs and climbing”

“The cave and castle we saw were fine. We just got put on a different tour than the one we booked. Not real clear on reason. Weather or fact that cruise ship passengers were not able to make our original tour? The day felt rushed.”

“Amazing tour to see so much of Slovenia in one day. Škocjan caves were a must-do for me. Borut was highly knowledgeable and shared so much about the history and culture on the drives. Piran was gorgeous and the best seafood I’ve had in awhile. Great tour 10/10”
Review of the Lipica Stud Farm and Škocjan Caves tour from Koper, with horse culture, UNESCO scenery, costs, walking demands, and tips.
“Was a little disappointed with the Lipica horse farm. I was hoping that we would be able to see the horses performing but all we were able to see were the horses either in their stalls or in fenced areas. The caves were absolutely beautiful, so different from others that I’ve been to; however it was a grueling adventure with many steps and high walkways. I didn’t think I would make the last few steps to the top! Glad I did it.”

“An incredible experience given it's largely unspoilt presentation - you walk the tour rather than sit on a train. HOWEVER, be aware although many of the pathways are laid concrete, there are still a lot of steps to negotiate, so anybody with mobility issues will struggle, which is when Postojna wins.”
