This was such a great tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable! He taught us so much about the history of Pula. We saw everything we wanted to see! And ended at The Fortress which was also our list of things to do in Pula. He was very kind and wish we could take him to the rest of Croatia with us.

Walking tour of historic Pula hit all the highlights and left us time to explore the city on our own afterward. 1.5 hours allowed us to visit Roman ruins, the shopping district, food market, and remains of Croatia’s warring history. We did not enter any sites or buildings including the Arena. The guide was friendly and informative, and kept my teens’ interest. Thank you, Jane, for a great recommendation.

Walking tour of Pula

Clare_B, Jul 2025
Other than a small mishap with where the app sent us for the meeting Point. (this is always frustrating when you don’t know where you are supposed to be. The meeting Point is at the entry) The tour itself was very good showing some hidden gems of Pula. And our guide was well versed in his history of Croatia and was very passionate on his subject. The obvious main attraction was the Amphitheatre. For us more information and a closer inspection even from the outside would have made this tour even better. Having had spent three weeks already in Croatia half a day is more than adequate to spend in Pula.

Good introductory city tour that covers all the major parts of the city. Guide was very kind and accommodating.

Well preserved Roman city worth visiting

JourneyofDoing, Jul 2021
When you arrive in Pula, you might ask yourself if you’re in Rome or Croatia. This tour is an incredibly opportunity to better understand the Roman influence over the city, especially in an area that is rich with Venetian history. The tour starts with a walk up to the fortress to better understand Pula’s position contributed to the city that you can see today. You'll wander through the ancient Roman city - seeing both Byzantine and Roman artifacts. The mosaics, which are not highlighted in the guidebooks, are truly incredible to see. From there, you'll head to the “new” Pula, see the Austro-Hungarian influences, and stroll through the bustling market. This tour makes an easy loop through Pula. Our guide was incredibly knowledgable, happy to answer questions, and quick to make recommendations.

Fantastic and informative!!!

Irena_M, Jun 2021
Such a great tour guide! Extremely thorough and captivating storytelling. A kind gentleman who answered all questions we had--clearly he knows his Pula history!! Our tour was very comprehensive, and even as frequent Pula visitors, we learned many new things we never knew about before. Highly recommend! You will not be disappointed!!! :)
