Istria Tours & Trips
Ever heard of Istria? This Croatian peninsula between Venice and Slovenia gets overlooked, but it’s time to explore! Picture coastal towns like Rovinj, Poreč, and Pula, truffle hunting inland, wine tasting, and spotting Venetian architecture everywhere. Istria beats the Dalmatian Coast for fewer crowds and food focus, and you’ll see Croatian-Italian influences mixed uniquely. If you’re a food fan, add Istria to your list.

The tour was very well organized overall. An enjoyable and interesting aspect of the hiking tour was that the trail for each day covered varied and different terrain- no 2 days were the same. The lodging was also varied and of consistent quality. Our favorite was Villa Borgo in Motovun. This tour offered a unique way to truly see and experience the Istrian Peninsula, up close and personal, on foot.

Our tour of Istria was quite amazing! Tour Radar and Fiore provided amazing support from start to finish. They spent time with us to get the bike fit right. They communicated and met us on time and with amazingly detailed cue sheets. The staff was super friendly, supportive and totally interested in our having the best experience. The accommodations were first rate. Food was also excellent. We've done a lot of organized bike tours, but this was our first self-guided tour....we'd do it again in a heartbeat!
