Amazing day touring Istria from Rovinj - We spent the day touring a three stunning towns in Istria with Augusta as our guide: her knowledge and passion for Croatia as a country really shone though. It was so ingesting to get a deeper understanding of the culture and the towns we visited. Tasting truffles for the first time was absolutely fabulous 😍 I would highly recommend.

Experience a lot of Istria in a little time - We had limited time in Istria and this tour was exactly the answer, being intimate (only 6 in our group), comprehensive and led by our wonderful guide, Mika. We explored the towns of Porec, Motovun and Groznjan by foot, ate fabulous local pasta with white truffles and drank local terrano wine to finish off the experience in style!

Scenic drive and stopping... - Scenic drive and stopping to take photos. Lunch with a beautiful view. Truffle tasting. Very knowledgeable tour guides and smooth driving given the terrain. Having free time to roam. I was travelling solo so it was nice that others offered to take my photograph. In total it was a very well organised, smooth and enjoyable experience! I genuinely would recommend this trip to others and consider other trips for myself in the future. Thank you

Educational experience, very well presented. - There were only six people on our tour which made it a more personal experience. The tour guide Sinsi was very knowledgeable and interesting as he walked us through Pula. At each stop along the way he explained the history and significance of each location. Well worth the price for such a wonderful time in Pula.
