Boat ride was very nice. Rovinj is worth seeing - it is rightly called the most beautiful town in Istria. Fish food on board (with salad and white bread + juice/wine included) was very tasty. Our boat trip had to be canceled by the organizer on the booked date (storm). We were simply rebooked by getyourguide for the next day (no free cancellation option - what would have happened if that had been our departure day?!). On this day, however, our boat did not sail again (too few participants?) - we were then allowed to go on another (much larger boat) at short notice and still had a very nice trip.

Great day trip with nice guides, good food and a varied program. For the price, the trip is highly recommended. For lunch on the Lim Canal there was a choice of grilled fish or meat (chicken and bratwurst) with coleslaw, tomatoes and bread, which tasted delicious. They even provided complimentary wine and water. The stops in Rovinj and Vrasar are definitely worth a visit. Both swimming in the sea and shopping were possible. Unfortunately, drinks on board are a bit expensive (small water €2.50), which is usually the case. We liked it very much, gladly again!

We can fully recommend the tour. We were greeted with a grappa, that was the first surprise. After the stop in Rovinj there was food. It was perfectly adequate and good too. Who wanted even got a second helping. We stopped for a swim at the pirate cave. The crew kept everyone in a good mood throughout the trip. After the farewell drink (Grappa) we got back to Porec on time.

For us, the tour ended up being a personal and private tour of Inner Istria with Sini, and what an exceptional and personable guide he is. He is proud of his country, and rightly so. Spectacular. His area and historical knowledge knows no end, a truly wonderful day, capped off with a wonderful lunch in Montovun.

Beautiful experience! Friendly staff and fun atmosphere! Abundant lunch on board! Exclusive visited places. To try!
