Our group of eight was met by our guide Dean right outside the cruise terminal. We were quickly underway in a very comfortable van. Dean pointed out some of the sights in Trieste as we made out way out of the city and on the road to Piran. We made stops along the way to admire the view of the ocean from turnouts high above the sea. Once in the lovely city of Piran (almost like a small Venice) Dean dropped us in the city square while he parked the van. That gave us an opportunity to get a coffee and people watch in the square. Once Dean rejoined us, he led us on a tour of the city, taking us high up the narrow walkway to the church where we were rewarded with breathtaking views. The walkways are quite narrow and quaint with cobblestones and centuries old buildings. Dean was a wonderful guide, full of interesting information. It was clear that he loved his job and his country. We had a wonderful 5 star experience!
