Toni curated an outstanding itinerary and was a wonderful guide. We loved this beautiful region and enjoyed sights we would have found difficult to reach on our own. It was a fantastic day. He was knowledgeable, professional and pleasant, and his driving was excellent which enhanced the relaxation of the day. I highly recommend this tour!

We booked a private tour with Toni during our honeymoon in Istria. He was very responsive during the planning process and gave good feedback. On the tour, he was professional and personable. Took us to a great restaurant for lunch. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend booking with this company!

We just wanted to make a nice trip to a winery and taste some wines and possibly also buy them. We got a wonderful and varied day with our nice guide Toni. Two short stops were planned on the way to the winery. At the family distillery Aura and the truffle shop Zigante. These two destinations alone were worth the trip. Who doesn't know the delicious Teranino liqueur. If someone says no, then definitely taste it. Afterwards we visited the Rossi winery. Started with an aperitif, then came the salami/ham/cheese platter and afterwards various wines. We sat very nicely in the shade under a tree and could look into the great landscape. After a short guided tour of the winery and a visit to the wine shop, we drove on to the picturesque artist village Grožnjan. Here we had an hour to look at the place and the small shops. From there we continued for lunch in a nice Istrian restaurant. We got a lot more than we expected that day. Finally, there was a gift from Toni. It won't reveal what it was. Let yourself be surprised.
Great tour
