Friendly and knowledgeable guide (Denis) was always available to answer any question we asked. He knew the best navigation of the towns we visited and gave us ample free time. The truffle tasting was a treat and we were fortunate enough to take the tour during the Truffle Festival, so e stopped by for lunch. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, it exceeded our expectations.

Full description

Discover the wonders of Istria County on this multi-stop, guided tour from your choice of meeting point in Rovinj. Blend into local life as you explore the towns of Poreč, Grožnjan, and the famous Motovun. Enjoy a tasting of the local culinary specialty truffles. The first stop is in Poreč. Here, you can see golden early-Christian mosaics at the Euphresian Basilica, a UNESCO World Heritage site (not included). After a walking tour of Poreč, head to Grožnjan, a village that was abandoned entirely after World War II and has since been revitalized with the help of artists from all around Yugoslavia. Romantic stone-cobbled alleys and colorful workshops around every corner make the tiny town of Grožnjan a must-see location in Istria. Afterward, continue to Motovun, the mightiest hilltop town in Istria. Once in Motovun, try the most expensive mushroom in the world during a truffle product tasting. Walk the panoramic city walls (not included) and admire Istria in all of its glory. You'll return to Rovinj in the late afternoon.
