The truffle hunting with sampling after is a welcome change from the old walled cities as is the oyster tasting and winery tour. It would have been great to have an option to go to the Blue caves from Hvar or Split. Nice to go to Hvar but definitely need options once there on boating expeditions.

Immerse yourself in the rich history of Zadar, Split, and Trogir, and indulge in wine and truffle tastings in the Dalmatian hinterland. Conclude in Dubrovnik with explorations of its Old Town and thrilling day trips to Mostar and the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro.Worldwide Touring11Tour was great from beginning to end. We did get to see a lot of the country which means spending a lot of time on a bus. That said it was very well planned and two of my favorite activities were the wine tasting lunches. Favorite accommodation was in Opatija. Billie was outstanding. So was Milan. I thought the accommodations in Zadar were subpar, and I did not enjoy the luncheon of traditional Croatian food. It was a meat and gnocchi dish that I don’t think many people enjoyed. Given the price of water, I do think it would’ve been a nice gesture to provide a small bottle for us each day.

So were all city guides , except Alan in Lublianja. We enjoyed all the wineries and truffle hunting was very good. The 3 corners hotel great. Belgrade hotel has not replied to our request for refund. Big noisey party so no sleep til 2am Many of the hotels were tired and had problems with the room aircon. A bit better spacing of food and lunch/ free time if possible as some days was very late lunch after early breakfast. A little bit more info day prior on timings of when can get lunch might help us prepare and location of toilets.

Why visit Rovinj
A coastal favorite for Istria sights, relaxed time, and easy day trips
Rovinj works well as either a base or a standout stop, because it combines classic Adriatic scenery with easy access to the wider Istrian peninsula. You can begin with a harbor walk and the old town’s winding lanes, then head out to a nearby historic center and still return in time for a swim, a leisurely lunch, or a sunset on the waterfront. If you prefer a structured vacation, fully guided tours take care of timings, logistics and the small details that can slow you down at popular sights and busy parks. If you want more independence, self-guided and semi-independent trips still organize transport and accommodation, which leaves you free to explore at your own pace and prioritise local produce, seafood and wine. Rovinj also suits travelers who like a varied break, with a few active days of sightseeing balanced by calmer afternoons by the sea. Because it links easily with other Croatia highlights, it works well for first-time visitors and return trips that want to add depth to familiar favorites.
