Well worth the day
Keri_H
, Jul 2022
It was wonderful to get to see more of Istria and the hill towns. We spent a good bit of time driving but it was very scenic. Lunch was great and we loved getting time to explore the three towns we stopped in. Enough time to see them but not too much. Our guide was wonderful too.
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Dear Keri_H,
It is always nice to read such great feedback, we agree that these tours are well worth the day, as we have put a lot of effort into these day trips.
Istria has a lot to offer definitely and its hilltop towns are just wonderful. We believe that Istria is a scenic region and getting around here, with free time in the small towns and great lunch will give you the most of what Istria has to offer.
Thank you for your nice words again and hope to see you again here.
Kind regards,
Martin Popit

Dear JimFritsche,
thank you for highly recommending our "Istria in 1-day tour", we are happy to read your 5-star review here at Tripadvisor/Viator.
Dalibor will also be happy to read that you had a great time with him, we are glad that he is one of our guides as you wrote a friendly, pleasant, and knowledgeable person.
All our tours are small group tours with a maximum of 8 people on tour, so we can have that personal approach to the tours. Lunch was hand-picked by locals and we are always amazed at how delicious it is :)
Thank you again for your review and if you will be back here again, do let us know, we would be happy to host you again.
Best regards,

DALIBOR was an absolutely amazing guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the region and shares it with passion and depth. He also has a delightful sense of humor. The tour was fantastic, covering a lot of ground (3 cities + delicious lunch at an agritourism farm) without feeling too rushed.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
