Joyas de Istria: Rovinj y Pula, Historia y Mar desde Poreč

Pula was nice, but was rushed. Amphitheatre time was limited, and only given 15mins free time. Not enough. By the time visited toilet, you had to leave for next part of tour. Shame as would have been good to explore it more. Was expecting gladiator tour - but this didn’t happen. Just a young lad charging €5 for a picture (not worth it). Pula city had about 40mins free time, enough to get an ice cream and work to centre and turn around. Meal was 40min journey from Pula - was nice food. Seemed to be a deal with family farm as 4 different tour groups there. Trip into Rovinj, 40mins. This seemed nice place and we had 1hr30 free time there. After long day seemed too long. Would’ve liked more free time earlier at the amphitheatre. Shame that we felt we were rushed earlier in the day when time could’ve been shared more equally. Don’t think it was value for money. Wouldn’t recommend in current format, but if better use / share of time then we would recommend.

This was a brilliant trip from start to finish, our guide Tin was superb and his knowledge of the area was so interesting. Our driver was great too and saved us time avoiding traffic. The trip to Pula was so interesting and just the right mix of guided tour and free time. It absolutely poured with rain while we were there but it meant we had the amphitheater to ourselves, which was amazing. Lunch was traditional Croatian and we loved this, all home made including the wine a lovely stop off the tourist track. The afternoon was spent in Rovinj which was just beautiful, it’s definitely worth walking up to the church and so very interesting when Tin told us the history of the church and area. My two teenage daughters loved the day. It’s a full day and a great way to see the area if you don’t have a car, I would highly recommend this tour.

The stops on the tour were well chosen and the guide was knowledgeable and friendly. It was a full day and demanding physically but worth the effort.

Wonderful day trip. Tin the guide was pleasant, knowledgeable and friendly. He gauged the level of informative commentary and stories with quiet time when traveling on the bus well. The duration of the day was very good and well planned to showcase key historical events and grasp a sense of modern Istria. The driver on the day was exceptional, ensuring a safe, comfortable and pleasurable trip. 👍

Lovely resort, family friendly. Crystal clear sea and many restaurants. Definitely visit Pula for the colosseum. Only €10 including museum.

Brilliant day trip to rovinj to start, in which Phillip our tour guide gave us plenty of info through out the day, surprising dinner where everyone one got together for drinks and a chat then set off to pula amphitheatre, I thought it was amazing as I haven’t been to one before so highly recommended, really enjoyed our day :)

A very well organised tour with visits to Rovinj and Pula led by an excellent guide who was both knowledgeable and entertaining. Rovinj is a delight and the Amphitheatre at Pula quite amazing. Can definitely recommend.

Great day trip With lunch. Nice comfortable air conditioned coach. Guide spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable. Lunch was delicious and lots of it. Very accommodating as we had a vegetarian and lactose intolerance in our group. Beautiful town. Would recommend,good value for money

What a great tour! Our guide was Mauro. He was very knowledgeable and kept the group entertained. I appreciated attention to the whole group. He also gave great recommendations for other outings in the area. As for the tour, the cities were very beautiful and interesting. Our lunch was a “farm to table” style and was delicious.

Tin the guide made this trip. He was very knowlagable funny and cared about everyone on the coach. It was well worth a visit Rovinj was beautiful definatly worth a visit
