Denis was a great guide telling us all about the history of both villages as well as the history of the area on route . This was followed by free time in each of the villages and he recommended a lovely restaurant for lunch which was delicious . Thoroughly enjoyed our half day trip! These are hilltop villages and as such have cobbled streets and are hilly so not a good trip for those with mobility issues .

Viator made many mistakes

Stephen_E, Jun 2026

Viator almost blew the whole thing because Viator repeatedly gave us wrong information about the pick up point. The tour guide, Dennis, couldn’t have been better And was very gracious about our problem. I had my phone off but luckily turn it down after waiting 15 minutes beyond pick up time and there he was calling me from nearby. He said he has explained to the agency many times that he cannot pick people up at that spot because of city traffic regulations. So while the tour guide was great, we have a problem with Viator. Also the Tour listed the two hilltop villages that we wanted to see but did not mention that there would be a third stop in another town, Porec, so that was a surprise. Plus it was and still is billed as a six hour tour but instead was a full nine hours. These seem like big interior communication problems that should be corrected.

Wonderful day

Wonderful trip

Both Motovun and Groznan are not to be missed. Denis was a superb guide. This was our third attempt to visit-Covid etc- but well worth the effort.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Great tour company

Dalibar was great! He told us a lot of history that we would not have known otherwise. The actual town was small but had amazing views.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you, Lynette_F, for your review! We're delighted that Dalibor's historical insights added to your experience in Motovun. The stunning views from the town are indeed unforgettable! We're glad you enjoyed the day, and we hope to see you again for more wonderful tours in the future.
