What To Expect
Rovinj, otherwise known as little Venice. From above, this tiny seaside town is crowned with 18th century Church of St. Euphemia and Venetian terracotta roofs. Step inside and you will discover narrow cobbled streets, a stunning line of colourful buildings, and camera worthy spots every way you look.
Amphitheatre de Pula
Travel back in time to the days when togas were all the rage. Pula is to Croatia what Rome is to Italy. There is no hiding the city’s main attraction – an enormous Roman Amphitheatre. Wandering around the remnants of ancient history, you'll be able to picture gladiators fight in the blood-soaked dust.

Nice but rushed. Always seemed to be on the clock

3.00Pula 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.
Great day trip

5.00This 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.
A good taste of Istria.

5.00Wonderful 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. 👍

5.00From the pick up to lunch to the end everything top. The pick-up worked great, the stays in Rovinj and Pula were very interesting, our guide gave us a lot of information and you could tell that he was happy with the thing. In both cities we had enough time to start an exploration tour alone. A big highlight was lunch, in a typical Croatian, I think family-run restaurant. Great welcome, the food was delicious and everything homemade. Can highly recommend this tour.
