Outstanding - We booked wine tasting and truffle hunting but Alan also included honey and olive oil tasting for us, we were treated to an amazing 5 star experience all day, within the most beautiful settings that you wouldn’t find on your own, with expert explanations including personal and geographical historical information, we have done many tours over the world but I will remember this for a very long time, it has made us want to come back to Istria and to see and experience more. Thank you Alan

Outstanding - This was a truly 5 star experience, Alan, our private guide was wonderful, he shared lots of personal and geographical history of the region, we tasted the most amazing produce in beautiful settings, a day I will remember for a long time!! Can’t recommend highly enough, worth every penny

Amazing day in Istria! - We had an amazing day with Alen and his friends throughout Istria on the Truffle hunt and wine tour. Everything was magical, from the truffle hunt and meeting the dogs, to the generous portions of olive oil, wine and delicious local foods. One day is not enough, we will be back! Thank you for an enjoyable experience!

Amazing tour of Istria!!! - This was such an amazing tour. Alan is wonderful and one of a kind. It was private and had such a personal touch, and we got to do and see everything we wanted, while meeting amazing people along the way. We love Istria and want to come back and do another tour with Alan! Highly, highly recommend!!

For the serious foodie - our guide Alen is a force of nature. His passion and knowledge of istrian wine is immense, we were schooled on the ways of malvazia wine, and given the privilege of trying an old teran, and a plavec-teran mix, the only one ever made. the olive oil tasting was with an award winning house ! highly recommened for the serious foodie, who only expects the best. we ended the trip on a sweet note with dessert in a local konoba, in the small village he grew up in. what more does one needs ........

Fantastic day in the country, if you have any thoughts doing this tour book it right away! - We had such a nice day. Our ride from Rovinj to Livade was month and comfortable. We were not expecting to find truffles with Nikola as we new the season was late but we loved the walk, the dogs and learning from someone who was so passionate. The rustic vineyard was fantastic, lunch was amazing. The truffle shop Figanti was authentic with fresh truffles for sale. Also, a valuable life lesson, 2 minute no audio! A lovely, day in the company of someone who loves what they do. Highly recommended

If you really want an authentic experience… - You know how some folks say “I’m worth it?” - well Alan IS worth it. He went above and beyond to give our family an authentic, customized Croatian experience with local wine, olive oil, truffle, and honey makers, capping it off with a truffle hunt in the forest. Alan knows so much about the history, culture and area. There wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer. Absolutely an exceptional guide!

The Best Day!! - The best day!! Started off with truffle hunting, then moved into wine tours, honey tasting, and olive oil tasting. Lots of snacks and drinks and Alan was the absolute best host. Can not recommend enough!! 10/10 experience

A very personal experience! - I travelled solo and during off season, so this ended up being a private tour for me. I enjoyed this tour a lot as my guide, Alan, was very knowledgeable and friendly and made sure all my needs were taken care of throughout the day. The truffle hunting was great fun and the little truffle bites we got to try were fantastic. Wine tasting in a boutique family owned winery was also really nice. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a more personal experience rather than a more commercial touristy one!

Enjoyable, but not private - Enjoyed the truffle excursion (a little brief), vineyards, and tour guide’s knowledge/explanations. The only concern was that I believe we paid for a private tour; yet, another couple joined us. As such, we did not actually have a private tour and we spent an additional 35-45 minutes dropping the other couple off and the end of the excursion before we were ultimately dropped off.
