If you wish to experience local culture & the best of Slovenia with a professional tour service that can customize & personalize your itinerary, look no further! Peter corresponded with me back and forth several months before our trip, promptly answering questions and helping to guide me in selecting how to best spend our limited 8 hour day off of a cruise ship. There are so many options to see in this beautiful country...
His friendly associate Maja picked us up promptly at the Koper cruise port in a comfortable van with bottled water and we began our day with a scenic drive to Piran. She dropped us off for an hour while we purchased coffee at a shop she recommended and wandered around this gorgeous coastal city. Our next stop was Predjama Castle where we enjoyed a 45 minute audio tour while exploring the castle. Maja had purchased some Slovenian culinary favorites while we were touring, so afterwards we enjoyed a picnic lunch in the countryside consisting of delicious breads, cheeses, meats, spreads & chocolate with a bottle of Slovenian coca-cola, or "Cockta" to sample!
Our next stop was UNESCO's Skocjanske Caves which was simply amazing and highly recommended. As we had some time on our way back to the port and had wished to try Slovenian wine, Peter met up with us at a local winery where we sampled local wine and purchased several inexpensive bottles to bring back with us.
Throughout our experience, Maja educated us about Slovenian culture & it's unique history. At the end of the day when we said goodbye to her and Peter, we felt as though we had made new friends in this beautiful country. It was truly a perfect day and a highlight of our trip to Europe. We will be back!

We had such a wonderful experience with Peter in Koper. We were a family of 4 adults and an almost 2 year old coming for the day from a cruise ship. Once we booked the trip, he communicated with us several times beforehand and confirmed our meeting spot, time, etc. He was there waiting for us right when we exited the cruise ship. He arranged to have a car seat for my son (a huge plus) and provided a comfortable journey to the caves, sharing about the culture and history of the country. As its a UNESCO world heritage site, its my understanding that they do not allow private tour guides. But we enjoyed our tour with the cave guides (despite it being a very large group, we were able to hear well and learned a lot). Be advised that you can't take photos in the cave on the tour which is a bit of a bummer because they truly are spectacular inside. Peter was then waiting for us at the end of the tour and offered us an option to extend our tour into the afternoon if we wished. We took him up on the offer and he took us to a local winery for a wine tasting before we had to go back on the ship. Peter was so sweet with my son too, even offering to look after him while we did the wine tasting. He went above and beyond to make it an enjoyable day for us. Highly recommend the caves and booking with Slovenia Daytrip Tours & Shore Excursions.
