Great day in Istria

George_S, Dec 2025
Excellent tour and guide ( Dejan). Picked us up right in front of our hotel. Tour included stops in Piran and Motovun with an excellent lunch in Motovun. Stopped at a truffle shop, saw where sea salt was mined, walked through the old parts of Piran and Motovun. Drove through some beautiful parts of the Istria peninsula. Dejan gave us lots of insights and local history about the area. Would definitely recommend.

A Must Do!

A Great Day

Sam_D, Dec 2022
Loved the chance to sample local cuisine and winemakers, while seeing parts of the Croatian countryside. Driver/guide was excellent and very informative. A most enjoyable day.

Tour was not as advertised. Only one...

John C, Sep 2018
Tour was not as advertised. Only one of 3 listed stops was actually visited. Tastings involved visiting commercial shops that had samples of olive oil, truffles and the like. There was no formal meal provided or even offered. Wine tasting was again at commercial establishments. The last stop was at a winery where we were charged to taste wines. The scenery in Istria is beautiful, but I do not believe we received the value provided in the pre-tour description of what the tour would involve. A disappointment.

Dejan was great, it was a really fun...

Dejan was great, it was a really fun day riding around Croatia with him and we loved the restaurant where we ate lunch -- the steak with truffles was fantastic! The local olive oil was also great, and the country was beautiful.

Une journée magnifique dont on se souviendra très longtemps.

Une journée magnifique avec 2 accompagnateurs formidables. Un tour remplis d'anecdotes et de paysages superbes. Les guides connaissent parfaitement cette région et y sont très attachés. Le top est le petit resto typique, plein de charme pour clôturer le tour. Bref, une de nos plus belle expérience. Merci.
