Do not miss this!!!! - The octopus dish was incredible even all the people who were a little afraid of trying it ate every last bit. It was fabulous. Denis our guide was so lovely. He took us to lots of really nice restaurants and the tour was very interesting. This was one of the best food walking tours I have been on, both from the guide and the quality and quantity of food we had. We had a lovely group of people on the tour.

Yummy Pula! - We had a lovely night exploring Pula sights, and tastes. We started with an all day wine spritzer and Bruschetta, then moved to an amazing octopus dish. The night was truly an adventure for the taste 👅 buds! We enjoyed our time in Pula!

Great experience! - The Food Tour was a lot of fun. Although we were only two people (me and my friend), the 3 hours of the tour felt interesting and familiar. The english skills of our guide were better than ours combined, but everything was understandable and well explained. The food was delicious, so was the wine and everything else. Thanks for the good time :)

Enjoyable - It was basically just as advertised. It did start a bit slow as the initial portions were tiny and it turned out you had to buy your own drink in one place - as well we dropped by one place that had free tastings for everyone (including the public - we had already been there earlier in the day). So we were thinking, what have we paid for? But it picked up after that towards the end. Maybe the expectations could have been set out just a bit more at the start. Big credit to Miroslava who was a lovely and friendly guide. That made the tour for us as we enjoyed having the chance to ask her about Istria, Croatia and the local customs. The group size was also ideal as you got to chat with others. Overall, I thought it was a bit pricy for what it is. The food is good enough and you get a good variety, but Croatian cuisine is fairly basic - don’t expect some bougie gourmet foodie experience. Similarly we found it comfortably filling but don’t expect a huge feast. Overall, we liked the concept of trying out a few places and moving about on our feet, and we had a pleasant night out in Pula.

Rich tour of Croatian food and Pula's historical sites - My tour was essentially a private one and good value for money - a nice way to spend an evening. Miroslava was very knowledgeable about local food and customs, and showed interesting (and surprisinly abundant) historical sites.

Great tour for foodies, couples and everyone in between. - Despite the fact that I known Pula quite well, a local tour guide who took us around town showed us awesome (new and hidden) places, real gems, spiced with great stories behind them. To top up the whole experience, local cuisine - from the cold starter, finger foods, through main courses to dessert - was just amazing. The served food was tasteful, well made, and the selection of plates (and restaurants where these were served) was very well balanced, ranging from seafood, fish, pasta to local sausages and vegetables. Wines from the region, from fresher to heavier ones were simply cherries on the top of this pleasant, vibrant, and enjoyable evening. I'd say this is a must-do tour, especially if you appreciate good local food, light walk, and great Istrian wines.

Perfect city highlights tour! - Great walk thru the city hitting all the main historical highlights! This tour is heavy in food and wine—come hungry. All good was good but the street fish tacos were a huge hit! This is a tour you should take early in your stay to get a layout of the city!

Great introduction to Pula - A great tour to introduce you to both Pula itself and also Istrian food/drink. Lots of high quality food across a number of restaurants. You circle the old city and get historical facts interspersed between eating and drinking tonnes of lovely, local, traditional cuisine. I'm sure it changes, pending availability, but we had everything from fish to cheese to liquor to wine and about 8 other things. Truly a great sampling. Also don't be alarmed if the guide disappears once you arrive at the restaurant, she is sorting logistics and will be soon back! Thank you Ana, we had a phenomenal time.

Great intro to the city for history lovers - Our guide was very knowledgeable and we had a great time! The food was delicious, though I wish we had been told what we would be eating ahead of time; we had a couple dishes that not everyone in our party liked such as octopus and cabbage. The tour is really great as a first thing to do in Pula, especially if you really like history.

Not good - The tour was not good. The guide seemed high. Could not answer any questions. Barely spoke English. We had more fun talking with other guests on the tour then her. Taking a group from one restaurant to the other is not a tour!
