Stefano our tour guide shared so much information and interesting facts about Pula and its history that we did not know before taking this tour. He is very knowleadgeable about Pula and its history. He patiently answered all of our questions which made this tour very engaging and interesting. Highly recommended this tour.

Interesting and informative tour of the old town, taking in all the historical highlights, culminating in the pièce de résistance, the amphitheatre.

The guide didnt show up, we were looking forward to the tour so a huge disappointment. No communication either.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Carl,
We’re very sorry for the disappointment this caused.
The booking was cancelled on our side in advance, but unfortunately the platform did not pass that cancellation information on to you. This meant you were left waiting without knowing the tour was no longer scheduled, which we completely understand must have been frustrating.
Please know that we always communicate cancellations promptly through the platform, and we rely on them to notify guests directly. We have already raised this issue with them to help prevent similar situations in the future.
Guest communication and reliability are very important to us, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you on a tour under better circumstances.

Thank you Amy!

What an experience, our tour guide spoke English very well. He was extremely knowledgeable and took time to stop and explain anything along the way. Would recommend for everyone as soon as you get to town. We even had time after to go inside the Amphitheatre after the tour, which he knew the hours too! Overall A+
Response from Host, May 2025
Thanks Robert!

We try our best, thank you so much!
Inger_S, May 2025
We were unlucky and had heavy rain during the activity, but we were very lucky to have Stefano as our guide. He was full of knowledge and has the ability to communicate with the wet audience. Except for the weather, which non of us could command, we were very satisfied.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you Inger! At least it stopped once the tour was done so I hope you enjoyed the dry sunset :)

Mark_T, Jun 2024
We were very lucky as my wife and I were the only people that booked the tour that evening (probably because Croatia were playing Italy and the whole of Pula seemed to be heading into the Centre to watch the match). As a result, we had a 90 minute private walikimg tour with Stefano who was brilliant, extremely engaging, very knowledgeable and great fun. We finished just in time for us all to go and see the match and although the game didn’t up going Croatia’s way, we had a fantastic time - Thank you.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thank you so much Mark! Yeah the match wasn't the best but glad the tour was brilliant!
Christopher_S, May 2024
The gentleman that led our tour was very kind and his knowledge of the city's history and story was extensive. It was an easy, calm walk but covered a ton of information. Good times!

Veronika_N, Sep 2023
Great walking tour! Stefano is a licenced, very knowledgable and skilful guide with great sense of humour. The day we took the tour, it was only my husband, me and another person (who we ended up befriending later that night). I'm happy we took the tour. Stefano told us tons of very interesting facts and stories about Pula's history — fascinating! He also answered tons of our questions :) and gave great suggestions about what to do and see in Pula. Lovely, easy-going and educational experience. I highly recommend!
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thank you so much! Glad you and your husband enjoyed it!
Sara_P, Sep 2023
Stefano was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the tour. I would highly recommend to learn more about the history of Pula. It was very relaxed and slow paced. You are able to see different parts of the city that would normally be missed.

Thanks Sara, it was a pleasure!

Stephano was a great guide. He walked in our pace patiently ,very knowledgeable about history and brought us to a nice modern restaurant on the end.. We stayed the rest of the night in that restaurant.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you for the kind review!
Sophie_F, Jul 2023
Perfect first day of holiday treat. Led by a local of the city so you can ask as many questions such as recommendations for best ice cream/ restaurant places to go. Lots of tips shared on how to get the best out of the holiday. Made me have a greater appreciation for the city I am in.
Great knowledge of the city and showed us places that weren’t even on Google recommendations for must see sights in the city. Great charisma, very interesting history and culture shared dating back to the year 0 and discussing the future of Pula. Wear comfy walking shoes as you’re constantly on your feet. 10/10 would recommend
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thanks Sophie, it was a pleasure!

Stefano was a wonderful guide - kind, interesting and clearly loves his home. We would have missed out on so much if we hadn’t done this tour! We feel more orientated and engaged with Pula as a result - even the older teenager loved it! Thank you for sharing your home with us Stefano
