A lovely evening in Piran. - A lovely evening walking round Piran and learning about the local area and wider Slovenia. Our guide was friendly and engaging and offered lots of local tips for places to eat and explore. The evening was finished off with a tasting of local olive oils, truffles and meats with a couple of glasses of local wine. All of which were amazing quality and very tasty. There was no hard selling of products just a passion for local produce. The walking part of tour was around 1.5 hour (nothing strenuous but some uphill walks) and then another 30 minutes for the tasting in the shop. We would highly recommend to anyone visiting Piran.

Great tour! Jan was so... - Great tour! Jan was so informative and the little shop we did the tasting at was adorable. All of the products are all natural, healthy and best of all support the local community! Highly recommend! Make sure to eat before hand though since it’s more small bites and not meal size.

Knowledgeable Guide - We had an excellent walking tour with Moritz Pardo on our recent trip to Piran. Moritz is extremely knowledgeable about the culture and history of the Istria peninsula. His love of the area was obvious and infectious. We highly recommend him to other explorers to this beautiful area.

Excellent Walking Tour in Piran! - I had a wonderful time on this tour! Jan is a fantastic guide, I learned a lot about Piran and the surrounding region. I loved tasting local products at Jan's shop too, and I really appreciate his dedication to supporting producers/small businesses in the area. Bonus: my dog was able to join us!

Great tour and amazing food and wine! - Jan was an excellent guide through the city. He spoke knowledgeably about the history and architecture of the region. The high point of the tour was the food and wine tasting at the new shop just off the main square near the harbor. The selection of local wines, meats, cheeses, and olive oils was amazing. Thanks, Jan!

Good experience - Nice tour. Very informative and easy to understand. About 12 people on our evening tour. Ended back at the square where he had the wine tasting. Small quaint shop. Very nice overall.

Swell time was had - The tour consisted of a cursory history of Piran, sampling of local products - wine, olive oils, truffles, meets, cheese, and a brief walk up to the church and around the point. The righteousness of the guides’ restaurant referrals were validated.
