Had a wonderful trip with excellent guide service by Vasja. While our initial meeting was somewhat comical, I honestly enjoyed and appreciated his earnest efforts in providing us the best experience. I wasn’t planning on visiting Lupica Farm, but had joined the tour in order to have a more comfortable ride to and fro Piran. It was an amazing experience seeing the beautiful horses up close, and stroking a few of them. Piran was every bit the Venetian influenced seaside town I had read and seen online. I was glad to have made it there.

This was a really great tour! Vasja was a really great guide and was extremely knowledgeable about not just Slovenian history but everything. He’s very passionate about his country and introducing people to it which makes going places with him very interesting. I think for €99 it could have included the ticket into the horse stables, but it was still a great day with amazing views and interesting history!
