Istria Tours & Trips
Ever heard of Istria? This Croatian peninsula between Venice and Slovenia gets overlooked, but it’s time to explore! Picture coastal towns like Rovinj, Poreč, and Pula, truffle hunting inland, wine tasting, and spotting Venetian architecture everywhere. Istria beats the Dalmatian Coast for fewer crowds and food focus, and you’ll see Croatian-Italian influences mixed uniquely. If you’re a food fan, add Istria to your list.

THE DISCOVER CROATIA, SLOVENIA AND THE ADRIATIC TOUR WAS EXCELLENT. The tour manager, Mojca Zdesar was well organized, communicated very well and was very knowledgeable of the regions history and landscape. Everything was on time and the spots were wonderful. The trip includes beautiful seaside towns, old cities and palaces and a spectacular national park. The November trip(last of the season) had mild weather, cool nights and a couple rainy days but there are no lines at the most popular sites.

The tour was very well organized overall. An enjoyable and interesting aspect of the hiking tour was that the trail for each day covered varied and different terrain- no 2 days were the same. The lodging was also varied and of consistent quality. Our favorite was Villa Borgo in Motovun. This tour offered a unique way to truly see and experience the Istrian Peninsula, up close and personal, on foot.
