What To Expect

Embark on an exclusive day trip from Zagreb to the stunning Istrian peninsula, with two customizable itineraries. Choose between a private day trip to Pula and Rovinj or an extended tour including Pula, Rovinj, and Motovun. In both options, your journey begins with a private guided tour of Pula.

In Pula, marvel at the wealth of Roman architecture, with the highlight being the remarkably well-preserved 1st-century Roman amphitheater. This impressive structure stands as the city's most imposing sight and a testament to its ancient heritage.

Next, head to Rovinj, often hailed by visitors as the most romantic city on the coast. Enjoy free time to wander its enchanting cobblestone streets and soak in the vibrant, colorful ambiance.

For those opting for the extended tour, the final stop is the charming medieval city of Motovun. Nestled on a 277-meter hill in the Mirna River valley, this walled city will captivate you with its scenic beauty. Don’t miss the opportunity to savor the local specialty, the Istrian truffle, a delectable hidden treasure from the Motovun forest.

After a delightful day exploring these picturesque locations, relax on the three-hour drive back to Zagreb.
