The Piran Walking Tour with Local Wine and Food Tasting lasts about two hours and is led by a professional local guide. The tour begins at Tartini Square, the main square of Piran, where the guide provides an introduction to Slovenia and the town. This square was once a harbor, and the guide explains why it no longer has sea access. The group then walks through the narrow streets to the Benecanka Casa Veneziana Pirano, a Venetian Gothic style house, where a local legend about the building is shared. Next, the tour attempts to enter the 700-year-old cloisters of the Saint Francis Monastery, which are not always open to visitors. From a distance, the guide points out the Piran Town Walls and explains their historical defensive purpose. The tour continues uphill to the Church of St. George, where participants spend about fifteen minutes at the panoramic viewpoint. On clear days, it is possible to see three countries from this spot. The final stop is First of May Square, which was formerly the main water supply area for the town. This lively square offers local food and wine tasting, both included in the tour along with snacks. The walking route covers about two hours and includes approximately ninety minutes of walking through Piran’s narrow streets. The tour operates in all weather conditions; appropriate clothing is recommended. Gratuities and transportation to or from the attractions are not included.
