Great tour I highly recommend. Denis was a great guide. Beautiful views. I learned a lot about truffles.
Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour, the beautiful views, and learning about truffles. It’s wonderful to hear Denis made the experience even better as your guide. We really appreciate your recommendation!
Ziga led us on an unforgettable journey through Istria's cultural wonders! 🏛️🥂. His knowledge of history and Istria was amazing First stop: The breathtaking Euphrasian Basilica Complex in Porec, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is one of the best preserved early Christian cathedral complex with all the parts of the original structure so integrally preserved: the church, memorial chapel, atrium, and baptister. artifacts dated back from the 4th and 5th centuries (some even dating back to the 1st century!) left us in absolute awe. 🕰️✝️ Next came a Croatian spirits tasting that captured the essence of this region. We sampled: Biska (mistletoe brandy) Teranino (a blend of pomace brandy, local Teran red wine, cinnamon and cloves) Limoncello, Mangocello and Watermeloncello (this part of Croatia was once part of italy and the Venitian Republic) We even heard the basilica bells ring at noon during our tasting. Lunch brought us to Groznjan, a mountaintop village. After WWII, artists and musicians breathed new life into this stunning settlement, transforming it into a haven of galleries and creativity. Our meal came with one of the most spectacular views of the entire trip! 🎨🏔️ Our final adventure took us to Pula's Arena, built between 27 BC and 68 AD. As one of only six remaining Roman amphitheaters worldwide—and the only one with all four side towers perfectly preserved—it left us speechless. Incredible to think this ancient marvel still hosts concerts today! 🏟️🎭
What an amazing journey you had through Istria! Thanks for highlighting Ziga’s knowledge and the incredible stops along the way. From ancient basilicas to delicious local spirits and breathtaking views, we’re thrilled you got to experience so much. Hope to welcome you back soon! 😊
Professional and personable tour guide and driver. He provided excellent information throughout the tour and answered all our questions most competently.
Thank you, Mike_V, for your kind words! We're glad our guide provided a professional and engaging experience, answering all your questions and sharing his knowledge of Istria. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to hosting you on another journey soon!
Our guide, Denis, was wonderful. We drove first to Porec which is filled with Roman buildings. We then moved onto Groznjan and also did a photo stop for Motovun as we did not want to climb up to the town. Denis really knew the towns and showed us all the important historical details. He also let us do things on our own if we wanted. He was totally open to whatever we wanted to do. In Groznjan, he suggested a restaurant with a million dollar view. He was incredibly generous with his patience and time. He also shared little details from his own life, really giving us insight into Croatian daily life. He suggested other places we would have liked to visit but we had to get back to our hotel. I highly recommend Denis- a safe driver, a knowledgeable guide and just a wonderful person. The day with Denis was an absolute pleasure.
Thank you, Janice_S, for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear you had such a wonderful day with Denis. His passion for the region and accommodating approach really shines through. It's great that you enjoyed the Roman history, scenic stops, and even a restaurant with a view! We hope to welcome you back for more adventures soon!
Such a beautiful and informative tour! We started in Porec where Miraslova(sp?) gave us a wonderful history summary and then let us explore on our own. The Mosaics in the church were incredible! Then we toured Groznjan and Motovun. I could have spent a day in each beautiful town but this was a good tour to whet my appetite for a longer visit! We had a large group and everyone loved it!
Hi HappyCamper4444! We're thrilled that you found the tour beautiful and informative. Miroslava and the visits to Porec, Groznjan, and Motovun seem to have left a lasting impression. We're glad it sparked an interest in returning for a longer visit. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back soon! Best, Martin Popit

Dalibor was an excellent guide and very accommodating from start to finish. He was very knowledgeable and his recommendations were exceptional! We loved the Basilica in Porec, the artist shops in Grozjnan, and fantastic views (and a great meal) from Fazin in Motovun. A wonderful day trip in Istria!

What a great day we had with Mateo. He is full of energy, passion and enthusiasm to show us all he loves about the Istrian peninsula. We visited a number of wonderful sites, enjoyed a great lunch at a local winery, and we highly recommend you look him up at mateo@krug-travel.com. Enjoy your time with him and this great experience.
Taking a wine tour with Krug travel is like hanging out with your best friends--if your best friends were super-cool Croatian tour guides with tons of knowledge about history, culture, and...yes...wine. Marko and Matteo immediately make you feel welcome in Istria, and their noTourist itineraries and relationships with winery and restaurant owners make you feel like a local. I traveled with a group of friends and we had a great time eating, drinking, and laughing. You will too!
...it seems like, somebody fell in love with the Istrian Family, ha!? They say: "You always meet twice in life!".
