A small group tour of... - A small group tour of three highlights of the Istrian peninsula. Our guide Denis was excellent, he looked after the group really well and provided an informative narrative over the full day. Top tips: join Denis for the meal in Motovun (truly excellent), climb the tower (it'll be obvious), explore the back streets (you'll get time for this)... and try the truffles. Recommended!

Exceptional Trip - What a fabulous trip! Collected as arranged & on time, mini bus was great & Denis our Tour Leader was exceptional. His knowledge & history of the area was great & he knew everything we needed to know, what we also loved was his information about living in Istria today, a fabulous chap, could have chatted to him for days. The time in each place was judged perfectly, nothing was rushed or too long, Groznjan was gorgeous & so pretty, with stunning views over the hills, Motovun was just slightly bigger but still unique. The truffle tasting was great & such a surprise about the different tastes, it was also not pushy. We stopped for a great lunch in Motovun. Rovinj was near where we were staying so we had visited before but we still learnt & noticed far more than we had on our own. An exceptional tour, with an exceptional company, don’t hesitate to book this trip.

Average to mediocre, sadly - Our tour guide did not have great English skills, so the information was disorganized. He was friendly and professional, but I was disappointed.
