Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The office is well organised with lots of brochures. Personnel is kind but not over attentive. You must have specific questions otherwise you might be disappointed.

Not quite sure whether it’s a pre-requisite to be unsmiling and morose, but the staff at the Info Centre here in Piran don’t seem at all happy in their work. Enquires are deemed to be an incursion into their mobile phone time with short, monosyllabic replies being the order of the day. If you’re going to be front counter at a venue where tourists ask for help I’d have thought some cheeriness and a smile would go a long way! After all, if it wasn’t for the tourists they wouldn’t have a job. Something to consider perhaps?

As other reviewers have noted, the info center employees are not overly friendly or helpful. Maybe the indifference is cultural or typical for here, but not in other places. We had to get most of our info from tripadvisor.

Two separate experiences, both agents nonchalant and having to pry info from them.
Me: we are a bus tour from Piran
Them: we don’t allow buses in Piran.
Me: are their any tours from Piran to Italy
Them: depends, what are you looking for.
Me: can we take a bus from Piran to Trieste
Them: yes
Me: okay how does it work
Them: where do you want to go
Me: Trieste
Them: yes there is a bus, but it’s not direct.
Me: do you have a schedule
Them: Yes
Me: and…..
Them: here is the schedule but it’s not direct
Me: where do you get the bus
Them: at the Piran bus station
Me: um…..where is that
Them: in Piran
Me: where in Piran?
Them: near the marina. Here is a map of Piran.
Me: how much does it cost
Them: maybe 11 euro
Me: do you need exact change?
Them: it would be better.
Me: is there a ferry to Trieste
Them:yes here is the schedule
Me: it says it doesn’t go on Tuesdays, tomorrow is Tuesday
Them: oh, then I guess they don’t go.
Me: so beat way is by bus?
Them: if you like, but it’s not direct.
Ok, frustration. Not the best nor most helpful staff. Usually those visitor centre staff are enthusiastic and full of info and trip over themselves to help you and to provide info. . In Piran - not so much!! Do your own research, don’t rely on them.

We got good information, though it could have been a bit more specific. It's on the main square so easily accessible

Maybe we caught the staff on a bad day, but they were certainly not all that interested in helping visitors. We watched a number of people ahead of us ask their question and leave looking displeased. When it was our turn, we could see why. The woman working gave us virtually no helpful information. Oh well, that's what the internet is for I guess.

If you have questions they will tell you more than you need to know and give you suggestions for planning your trips or local busses for out of town trips. You can take brosures in different languages. Opening hours very good.

They are extremely friendly, helpful and patient at this information center. You can get helpful maps of walks throughout the peninsula, information about various tours, etc. It is a definite "first stop" when you come to Piran. Very easy to find in Tartini Square in the center of town.

Situated on the ground floor of the town hall in Tartini Square the Tourist Information Centre offers the usual choice of leaflets, booklets etc. but, unlike other Tourist Information Centres in the area, the staff did not seem keen to help and gave very basic advice. The 2 young female assistants were off-hand and unsmiling - so unlike the rest of the Slovenians that we met.

Unlike the previous reviewer, my questions were answered, I got a map and the service provided was adequate as expected from such an office.

Hi do you have a tour from Piran to Skocjan Caves and Lipica Stud farm?
Written 15 January 2019
We did not visit the caves you mentioned, but did visit the Lipica Stud Farms. I found the stud farms very interesting, and appreciated the opportunity to wander the grounds on my own. The guided tour was informative, and the performance interesting.
