Review of Ljubljana’s Škocjan Caves and Piran day trip, with UNESCO scenery, Socerb Castle views, costs, walking advice, and practical tips.
“We really enjoyed the day trip! Our guide was Tomaš, and he gave many insightful information along the way. He even took us to Lipica farm because we had some additional time, where we could see the famous Lipizzan horses. On the way, he drove us through Triëst (Italy), giving information on everything we saw and making the trip really special, feeling like its own event and not just transport to the next location. The van was nice, clean and had airconditioning. Tomaš knew a lot and can answer every question, which made for great conversation, also giving many helpful tips. The only down side to the day trip is…”
Learn to prepare fresh Mediterranean seafood with Irena at Fonda Fish Garden near Portorož, then enjoy your meal beneath pine trees by the sea.
“Irena's dedication to the sea, the environment and the produce we worked with is truly remarkable and takes this experience to the next level. I've always been somewhat apprehensive when it came to handling fish but through this workshop I gained knowledge that empowered me to venture into cooking with fish more. Did I mention that the workshop took place under a pine tree by the sea? The authentic surroundings made the time stand still while we worked on our food which turned out absolutely delicious. Loved every minute of this experience”

Review of the Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle tour from Koper, with pricing, cave tips, mobility notes, timing, and honest value advice.
“Very cool cave experience, the only downside is that our group was told that there would be bathrooms once we passed through the ticketing area (she said there was no time to use the ones upon arrival to the site because we had timed ticket access or something) which was not accurate. It was a very long 1.5 hour tour through the cave after a bus ride and no access to bathrooms so just be aware of that. At the very end of the tour upon exit, there is a bathroom you can pay to use but this whole thing deducted from our experience because there were several of us…”
