Rovinj Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Go with this kayak tour!! Andre was an awesome guide. Very safe, experienced, and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time paddling around the old town to the private island where we snorkeled, swam, and dove off an amazing cliff into the warm and crystal clear Adriatic Sea. Great price, water, dry bag, snorkel gear and life jackets included. Bring you phone and towel to take lots of pictures! If you are inexperienced it is okay, Andre is a great instructor and coach! Would do it again!

Hunting was fun and food was amazing! I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone. Thanks for the fun day!

We had a lot of fun going with Miro and the dogs. We were lucky enough to find multiple truffles. It was fun to learn more about the world of truffles. Besides that, the foos was very good. Many different dishes with truffles. We left with a full stomach. Would recommend!

The cliffjumping was the cherry on the cake

I had a great time on this tour with guide Sini! We had a small group which made it very easy to get around and spend a bit more time in the places that interested us. I especially liked visiting Motovun and trying out the truffles and olive oil. Eating at an Anthony Bourdain approved restaurant there was also a highlight! Sini provided us with great historical and cultural information. Driving around the hillside towns, hearing about the area, and admiring the scenery made a perfect day for me. I highly recommend this tour and other tours by Istria Tours!

We spent a wonderful day with Sini, diving into history and visiting beautiful places in the heart of Istria. We chose a private tour to Motovun, Grožnjan, and Pazin. We were picked up right on time from our apartment in Pula in a comfortable van. On the way to Grožnjan, we stopped at a viewpoint overlooking the Leme Canal, known as the Lim Fjord. Beautiful views. During the trip, Sini treated us to a wealth of interesting facts about the places we passed, as well as the history of the entire Istria region. Grožnjan charmed us with its artistic atmosphere. It is well worth stopping and soaking in the soul of this town at a leisurely pace. Definitely unlike any other. Next was Motovun, featuring stunning views from the town walls, an olive oil and truffle tasting, and a fantastic lunch. I will just say that every place Sini recommended, I had checked beforehand and they were already on my wishlist. I won't list them here—just trust Sini, and you certainly won't be disappointed 😊 Finally, a short stop in Pazin—the Citadel, the castle, and the magnificent view of the Pazin Cave (Pazinska Jama). The return trip to Pula was smooth and peaceful, which just goes to show that besides being a great guide, Sini is also an excellent driver. To sum up, I warmly recommend any of the tours offered by Sini. Extensive historical knowledge combined with local hospitality guarantees a successful day 😊

We did the Parenzana Trail bike tour in Croatia and had a wonderful time. Our guide, Danijel Šestan, was fantastic! Not only a skilled bike leader and expert, but also a great history teacher who brought the trail to life along the way. The e-bikes were top quality, which made the whole ride a pleasure. My wife and I enjoyed every minute of it. We highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful family excursion with beautiful scenery and very good company. Neso and Niki are excellent guides and all around good people. I would highly recommend this tour.

We've had an amazing kayaking experience! Everything was perfect, and the city looks completely different from the water. I recommend everyone try it. The organization was excellent and very friendly.

Link did not work … tried to contact operator to no avail …. my situation is to do it on your own … would not recommend

We loved the whole tour with our host Luka, who is a very kind person! The kayak was very safe and it was very easy to learn how to navigate it. We had two stops on two lovely islands. It was a very fabulous adventure. Very much recommended!

We had a private tour with Adana Boat tours. Mateo was our guide. He was amazing. We began our day in Lim Fjord at his suggestion, as the beautiful swimming bay gets crowded later in the day. We had it all to ourselves. We later went to St. John Island where we swam and took a short walk up to an old Franciscan monastery to see the ruins. We concluded with a swim closer to Rovinj. It was a perfect way to see the area and spend a marvelous morning.

I love coming to Croatia, and this isn’t my first time in this city. Rovinj is beautiful — and way less overcrowded than Dubrovnik. Here, everything feels simple, pretty and just… pleasant. A big plus for my visit this time was this little guide I found. It made me discover many places I didn’t even know existed (like the stone towers, some hidden bars with beaches,..)— even though I’ve been here several times already. Well done to the team! It really added something extra to my stay.

This is primarily a walking tour that provides insight into Rijecka (history, purpose, current state). Sonja did an excellent job of providing interesting pertinent information about the city we thoroughly enjoyed it.

We had such a wonderful time and our local guide was terrific and helped us really get a sense of Rovinj.

Great communication in advance on WhatsApp. Easy meet up. Nikola was a great guide, kept us very comfortable. Nice swimming spots all to ourselves in shoulder season. Relaxed. Do what you want. Nikola happy to take us where we wanted, offer advice, etc.
