Roman Pula and Charming Rovinj Private Guided Cultural Tour
A combo trip you can't miss!
There is no better combo than soaking in the Roman ruins of Pula and then enjoying the beauty and charm of the medieval streets in Rovinj! You can't skip these two when visiting Istria and although very different, each has its own past and personality.
Pula - the largest town in Istria with a long history, written all over its architectural remains and monuments. Rovinj - the most photogenic town in Croatia, small but with a big soul, ready to romance you in its narrow streets. These two share the Istrian lifestyle and a long turbulent history. Each needs to be explored at its own pace and I can't wait to introduce them to you!
After the tour, I guarantee you'll know how these cities were built from the ground up but also where to grab a traditional bite or refreshment without my help!
