I travel solo, usually... - I travel solo, usually during the off season So I was pleasantly surprised to be able to book this tour with basically a days notice. I was the only one on the tour so it was very one on one . My guide showed me around the city at a nice pace and even gave me some tips on areas outside of Pula

Very nice tour - We did the tour with Adriano. It was excellent, he explained the history of the Isthria and took us to the city. Then we recommend where to go for lunch and that we could not miss Pula. He was always attentive to our needs. Beautiful tour, thank you very much Adriano!!

Pleasurable Last Minute Tour - We were traveling through Istria with friends and staying in Pula. At the last minute we decided we'd like to know more about this city than we could gain just walking through it on our own. Adriano was welcomed our request with less than 24 hours notice and graciously shared the history of his lovely city. Would highly recommend him if your'e traveling there!

Great few hours with a local guide` - Our guide, Adriano, was a very knowledgable historian who grew up in Pula and spoke great English. We had fun spending a few hours with him seeing the local historic spots, especially the incredibly well-preserved Roman amphitheater and getting local insights on life in this town.

Great guide - It was really good. He explained everything in detail, told anecdotes of those who made the story of pula, recommended places to eat and visit with our son. He is a guide who has been working for more than 6 years, i.e. he has a lot of experience and rating. He was very kind to be with our son who like every child throws tantrums. For the tour I took it in the baby carrier and had no problem doing the tour. It was easy to understand although our native language is Spanish
