Tour Price
Description
The beauty of the caves is enhanced by multi-coloured stalactites and stalagmites of various shapes including curtains and limestone pools. Walking through the cave you will enjoy many waterfalls and underground halls. In the afternoon part of the visit you will enjoy the scenic ride to the most charming town on the Slovenian coast – Piran. A walk through its narrow medieval streets wedged between beautiful houses, churches and squares will take you back to the medieval times. Take your time to enjoy the breeze that blows from the sea and to admire the main square named after a famous violinist and composer Giuseppe Tartini. You will certainly enjoy the small-town ideal to wander around for a coffee, cake, gelato or some good fresh seafood.
Visit the Unesco heritage listed Škocjan caves, a majestic underground river canyon, and let it take you to world of fantasy. The exceptional volume of the underground canyon is what distinguishes the Škocjan Caves from other caves and places and is easily placed among the most famous underground features in the world. In the afternoon enjoy a scenic ride towards the Slovenian coast. Stop at Socerb castle for breath-taking views of the Slovenian coast and the Gulf of Trieste. Once in Piran you will discover the most romantic and picturesque coastal town. Piran is a tourist highlight of the Slovenian coast, strongly influenced by the old Venetian Republic. The main square is named after Giuseppe Tartini, a famous violinist and a composer who was born in Piran.

Great tour!

Our guide/driver Isidor was great. Perfect group size, enough time in each location to not feel very rushed. Well planned tour.
Piran is a hidden gem

Tomasco made this tour very interesting in his attentive manner narrating stories while driving our small group in the van to the caves and piran . I was anxious to go to Skocjan caves after having been to postojna caves several days before esp since they are a unesco site. I found the caves not to be nearly as interesting as the other cave with not as impressive stalagmites and staglatites. Pro… it has a river running underground but it is pretty far away to see all in the dark cave . We had a designated guide for about 35 people rather than just wandering in our own as the previous caves . Con.. tons of steps and the first exit was closed so even more steps. It was quite exhausting for this 60ish woman in good shape!
Piran was a gem of a city . A Slovenian coastal town with a feel of Italy and close to Croatia so definitely a city of mixed identities! I would have like to spend more time than the allotted 2 hours in this little gem .
Amazing day tour!

This day tour was amazing! Walking through the caves was a memorable experience, and the coastline at Piran was beautiful! Our tour guide was very efficient, friendly and informative - could not recommend this enough!
Great day trip from Ljubljana.

Driver was amazing. He was very knowledgeable yet not over bearing. Cave experience was breathtaking. Piran was like Amalfi with fewer crowds.
Great day trip!

Great tour. Wish I could recall our guide’s name as he was fantastic. The caves are amazing and the stop at Piran was interesting, although would love to had more time there for a longer, leisurely lunch. Not much for shopping.
