The best of Istria private tour
Overview
Enjoy a day of visiting the main features of coastal and inland Istria.
Join me in discovering the amazing history, culture and local life of the hilltop towns such as Motovun, Groznjan.
Learn about the differences of living on the coast vs hinterland, notice the differences in food, local customs and people. We will visit one of the main truffle producers so you can taste the magical ingredient that has marked the gastronomy of the Istrian hinterland.
Among the beautiful views of the land and the sea have a lunch in a local inn (konoba) where the food comes directly from the owner's garden. (Lunch is not included in the price of the tour)
Visit the ancient town of Poreč through its narrow cobbled-stone streets constructed by the Romans in the 1st century B. C.
Visit the town of Pula with its amazingly preserved Roman Amphitheatre which operates even today, but for concerts, not real gladiator fights. :)
