Like something out of a fairytale, Motovun is the sort of town you dream of eloping to.

And while it's the undoubted star of this half-day tour, you'll also discover the world's smallest town - Hum.Your first stop of the morning is hilltop Motovun – a medieval monument in itself with and stop-and-stare views over the vineyards sprawling out below. Walk around the old town, soaking up an atmosphere that's both bohemian and old-world at the same time.Next, you'll continue towards our next stop, Hum, officially the smallest town in the world. Here, you'll delve into the town's history at the Museum of Hum Aura, housed within a historic building that served as a granary and town hall for centuries. Your trip culminates with a tasting experience at a local distillery. Sample premium brandies, homemade jams, and other regional delicacies crafted from wild herbs and fruits gathered on the slopes of Mount Učka, offering a true taste of Istria.

The guide was very informative and the trip in my was was just the right length of time for a Sunday morning trip. The group was the right size, and everyone was able to listen to the guide and enjoy the experience.

A good trip. Boban was a good guide, Motovun was beautiful and the trip to the distillery very enjoyable, with an abundance of free samples. My only reservation is that when we booked the (a week beforehand), it included truffle tasting at a farm, which had apparently been cancelled due to Sunday opening laws. We only found out by reading other reviews and subsequently speaking to our rep. Strangely, although it didn't happen, Boban still mention the truffle tasting in his introductory speech.

The tour guide "V" was amazing and very informative and interesting. We enjoyed the tour of Motovun and the distiller was nice (small but nice) and as well as the tasting of the 3 drinks you could choose a free one of your own choice (can recommend gin cocktail). The only downside was we were really looking forward to visiting the truffle place (and was a main reason of the trip for us) but new laws stated that we could no longer visit this on a Sunday - but we were not informed prior but V di

Fantastic guide. A rather long day depending where your hotel is. Also on Sundays local shops might be closed as they can only open 16 Sundays a year, so watch out for that. Excellent views for most of the trip.

Va,our guide, was excellent and kept us informed and made the day fun. Motovun was picturesque and the countryside was stunning. The first stop to sample truffles was a little bit disappointing as only given tiny pieces of bread, some which was stale, to taste different products. The second stop at the Aura brewery was better presented with a quick tour with a guide. Sample tasting was much better presented.

Our guide, V, was exceptional. Really informative and approachable. Even when there was a traffic accident and the coach got stuck en-route to the distillery, she was an absolute legend, going out of her way to find out more information and keep us informed / ensure that we were all comfortable.

We both thought this trip was great, the 3 places we visited were very interesting. I would have liked a little longer at the top of Motovun. We followed the guide then had a coffee in our own time, but after this we had to walk back down to meet shuttle so this felt a little rushed. We did have two guests who had some walking difficulties so this did delay us, meeting at the top of the hill under the arch. Spectacular views. Truffle tasting and distillery were great. So glad we did this trip.

We were recommended this trip by Jayne our rep and It was a wonderful day. We have small group Vladana was out guide and she did a fabulous job guiding us. Motovan is the first stop and the little village is a delight with narrow cobbled streets leading up to absolutely amazing views around the perimeter. If you like truffles then the 2nd stop will be heaven for you. Not my thing but pleasant none the less. Aura distillery give you the opportunity to try different liqueurs , brandy and gin. We spend more in this shop than anyway I think. Highly recommended trip particularly as it was so reasonably priced ????????

A brilliant tour, despite the weather. Motovun is a quant old town. Followed by truffle tasting, then onto a grappa distillery, plenty os samples tried, such a pity that we couldn't bring them all home. Excursion was even better as only 4 of us so was more like a private tour.

Great guide, pretty location, better if you're nearer the destination at the start otherwise quite a long time on the coach. The village was pretty, the distillery a bit less interesting and really just a shopping stop.
