Visit with a great variety of Istrian experiences - We had a great tour of Istria and the varied towns we stopped in. Each village had a different vibe, which enhanced our experience. Our guide was very informative as well as a capable driver through the many twists and turns on the roads leading to hilltops. We were able to get a real feel of the area while being in a relaxed environment. I would definitely recommend taking this tour.

Friendly and interesting - Our Guide Mio was super interesting and friendly. We learned a lot about the region of Istria and the different villages visited. The program is perfect: a little guided tour then some free time in each city. We had a great day!

Another side of Istria - Great way to see more of Istria. On the plus side you get round a lot of places, but inevitably don't have much time in each place. Motovun was a highlight - small but perfectly formed. Nice that it is a small group tour (max 8) and comfortable van.

A trip worth taking to get a feel for the land of Istra away from the cities. - We travelled with Mio. Enjoyed the countryside of Istra. He told us this was his second guided trip. He gave us a good feel of local life here, and it’s history. We appreciated his commentary.

Overpriced - My Spouse & I decided to pick this tour as we wanted to see more of Istria. We visited Porec, Groznjan & Motovun.
Perhaps it was due to the bad weather, but we did not see much of the latter two towns.
The truffle tasting was a let down - just a tiny piece of bread with a tiny piece of truffle. As advertised, no food or drink was included in the tour price nor the Basilica entrance fee. I think £40 each would be a far more reasonable price to pay for this excursion.
Not suitable for people with walking difficulties.

Cancelled - Tour was cancelled by guide. I hope I wasn’t charged. It was too late to book anything else. I’ve used Viator for all my trips and this was first time it was cancelled.
