Istria full day tour with truffle tasting in Motovun

About the experience

This 8 hours long tour is all about discovering gastronomy, history and culture of towns such as famous Motovun, Grožnjan and Poreč. You will learn more about Istrian people and the things they have lived through, dishes they eat and the lifestyle they lead. Get to know the difference between life on the coast and the hinterland - customs, people, and food. We will walk through the charming stone streets of Poreč, built by the Romans in the 1st century BC, where you will feel true coastal city magic in Istria. In order to try the magical ingredient that marked the gastronomy of the Istria, we will visit one of the main producers of truffles in the area.
