Great tour company - Dalibar was great! He told us a lot of history that we would not have known otherwise. The actual town was small but had amazing views.

Great Day Out For Views, History & Truffles - Fantastic day trip out from Rovinj into the mountains and hills of Croatia and Motovun. Our guide picked us up on time and was really personable and friendly, also super knowledgeable about the history of Croatia and Motovun itself. The town is beautiful and also surrounded by lovely countryside and great views and the truffle shop and tasting was a great little experience of its own, we couldn’t walk away empty handed. Would thoroughly recommend.

Sign up-- you won't regret it! - The experience we had today with Mateo was nothing short of amazing. He was funny, smart, perfectly timed every part of our trip and went above and beyond when he found out it was our honeymoon. We had a blast; it was like driving around with a really informed friend who told you about history as he steered you towards great food and wine. I seriously can not gush enough about the whole thing--- absolutely perfect!

Nice excursion destination - We visited the beautiful mountain village on a day trip. Unfortunately, we quickly realized that the path is not really suitable for strollers. The village has a beautiful view from above. The tour around the gate costs 4€. In the village itself there are many small shops where you can buy really delicious wines, oils and truffle products. Parking is available below the village. (Very expensive)

Fantastic view meets tourist hustle and bustle - Nevertheless... It's worth it, whether you walk up the 1205 steps or go by car, there are usually parking spaces available at the top, a 5 euro ticket for 2 hours. That's definitely enough to enjoy the castle and the view. The gigantic view makes up for the hustle and bustle. A lot of fuss about truffles and wine. Climbing the tower for 4 euros per adult, kids free, is another highlight. The 2 hours are also enough for a drink, and there's a huge selection in the castle or below, just touristy...

Private Tour - The other bookings were no shows, so it turned out to be a private tour! So, it included a trip to a winery at my request, not typical for the day that I booked. Stefano was an excellent guide, with tons of information about the history of the beautiful small towns that we visited. The market in Rovinj was particularly nice.

Nice view - The view was nice, but again commercial exploitation. Not much to see above other than some terraces and souvenir shops Too bad about my time
