A very nice tour in the hinterland of the Slovenian Adriatic coast! Due to the corona, we were the only two participants on the tour, so the excursion had something almost familiar, especially since our guide Grega spoke almost perfect German and gave us a lot of information about the country and its people. During the wine and food tasting in a small winery, we experienced real Slovenian hospitality. An all-round successful tour that we would do again at any time.

Unfortunately, the tour was advertised in such a way that you should explore the places at your own pace. Since there was only one bus, the departure times were fixed. Nevertheless, the guide was very flexible and adjusted the times. The tour was very informative and the coupons could be easily redeemed. No sales event !!! All in all, highly recommended !!!!!!

Enjoyed seeing 4 different places on the bus as well as the tasting - coffee, ice-cream, wine and snack. Bus guides were helpful and informative. Only disappointment was to find the chocolate shop closed once our bus arrived in Koper.

Great tour to get an impression of the Slovenian coast :) Stanley told us a lot and gave us an unforgettable day...thanks for that. The idea with the enjoyment coupons is also great...
