This is a must if you are visiting Piran. Jan is a great local guide and he focuses on showing you the best local food and wine. Each dish is amazing, fresh and unique. The tour also includes local wines and olive oils which are very tasty and make great gifts. Jan keeps the group size small and ensures that everyone feels welcome. Don't miss it!

What a great food, he showed us best restaurants in town and we agree with that! Would recommend to people who are here for rew days and they can have an idea for a lunch or dinner later in the week. Thanks!

Jan is a great guide with deep knowledge of the area both culturally and in local food recommendations. A pleasant short walk. Highly recommended

Jan was simply amazing. He shared the best of his city through food and wine. We started with caper paste from a vendor in the farmers market. Then on to a salt store to understand how salt is made and the importance to Piran’s history. Then the food fest began! First up a local delicacy—sea bass carpaccio style. Next up, mussels—my husband’s favorite seafood. I’m not usually a fan but I couldn’t get enough of these!!! The sauce they were simmered in was simple—wine, garlic, lemon and a few other things I can’t remember. Both of these dishes were paired with a really good white wine. I’ve forgotten the grape but it was comparable to a Sauvignon Blanc. Next up…risotto with squid ink. I’ve never had it before but will look for it in the future! Again, paired with the white wine. Then it was on to a restaurant for the best filled pasta shells I’ve ever had. The pasta was made fresh every day by the women next door. The stuffing was ground filet and melted in your mouth. Paired with red wine beautifully. Next door was the “truffle guy” where we sampled white and black truffle spreads. OMG, so good!!! We finished up with the most amazing gelato—it was gramma’s cream custard flavor with lemons. What a perfect ending to the tour. Not only did Jan share his country’s food traditions with us, he also was able to find transportation for my husband so he didn’t have to walk so far. That was so helpful for us and really added to our enjoyment of the tour. Highly recommend this tour!!!

We spent a lovely early evening with Jan in Piran last night. His tour was informative, well-crafted and professional. Jan is also a very gracious guide who caters to each person on the tour. I highly recommend signing up for this BEFORE you arrive and it be your first intro to Piran. You will enjoy it very much! The food tasting at Gourmistra was amazing and a hidden gem! Jan also gives great restaurant recommendations too! Thank you to Mattia of Gourmistra who catered to every request with utmost patience and professionalism.

We did the morning city tour at 11am. It was nice listening to Jan as he knows everything about Piran. Besides that he was easy to understand. He gave us also some advise for lunch and icecreams. We really recommend doing this tour. We loved it!!

What a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the food and culture of Piran. Jan was a fantastic friendly and relaxed guide with great knowledge and insight. Our small group met the friendly locals at wonderful venues to taste the good products that Piran has to offer. Literally “breaking bread” together and getting a feel for what makes Piran the best seaside town to visit is a great way to get the most from your travels.

The tour was as great as i had expected. Jan´s knowledge about Piran and food was extraordinary. He showed us places and restaurants, where we wouldn´t go at first place - what would be very sad. He showed us typical istrian dishes. The best part was the visit at Mathias’s Gourmistra. we came there even the day after to bring home some part of this tour. Next time when we come to Piran we will be well prepared to decide what to eat:) Although you see below my pictures I would highly recommend to do the tour on your own because only seeing can´t make memories which you can remember your whole life!

The absolute best way to visit Piran! Jan was such a gem- his local knowledge and connections made for a magical day exploring, eating, and drinking our way through Piran. Each stop was a treasure of tastes, personalities, and local stories. We will never forget this magical experience!

Highly recommend this tour! Jan was very knowledgeable about Piran and we learned a lot about the town itself and also it’s cuisine. It was a really great full day even for me and my family. We started out the day with visiting a few different restaurants and ended at this amazing olive oil and truffle store. We are so glad that we did this tour!

Jan is the most amazing and involved tour guide I have come across. I have been to multiple tour guides around Europe and this one by far has been the best. The combination of the location, the guide and carefully curated epicurean delights are an absolute delight. The highlight being the stop at Mathias’s Gourmistra. Here is a place where u can sample the best truffles, artisan wines and olive oils. Mathias is a fantastic host and knows his produce from the produce, to the producer, to sourcing and production. If u can only do one thing in Piran I would recommend u contact Jan for his food and wine tour. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We've been there the beginning of September and it was an almost private Tour! Very friendly, interested guide. It was a pleasure to join. Thank you! He also helped us with the litte child, so this is also suitable to go with a buggy!

We did the morning tour at 11.00. Our guide Jan was very knowledgable and enthousiastic. His English was excellent. He made sure to stop in the shade wherever possible. Pace of tour was fine and not strenuous.

We took the morning tour through Piran, starting at 11am. Jan is sympathetic, funny and can tell a lot of interesting facts about the city, including recommendations for nice restaurants and a great store for local products. We definitely recommend this tour to everybody who visits Piran.

When visiting Piran you could walk around the whole afternoon, looking for the nicest places, in the heat and finally ending up at a snackbar… Or you can sit the afternoon on the beach and join this tour at seven. Jan is a very enthousiast and entertaining guide. He takes all the time needed, with only a small group. The wines are nice and he has great tips for a nice dinner. Highly recommended
