This was such a great tour, and a big reason for that was the guide, Emil. From the moment he picked us up, he went above and beyond to make sure we got the absolute most out of our tour. He was very knowledgeable about Slovenian history as well. Visiting the Skocjan cave was a very cool experience. And I was over the moon for the chance to make it to the Istrian coastal city of Piran. Emil sent us to a great restaurant once we arrived and gave us a good orientation and plenty of time to discover the town. I highly recommend this tour.

George was a wonderful tour guide. The caves are astounding. Though a bit challenging of a walk, my 91-year old mother was able to make it. Piran is a lovely town. We enjoyed the tour very much.
