We had a great time - hunting for truffles (and finding a few!), followed by an insane truffle lunch, and then a tour of Istrian towns. Even with gales and rain, Rafaella made this our favorite day in Croatia!

A fun day trip from Zagreb, spent in nature!
Overview of your Zagreb tour
Istria is the home of the second-largest white truffle ever found. Join me on this tour and experience Istria. Spend a few hours truffle hunting with trained dogs, taste truffle products and enjoy the surroundings! After the hunt, you will get to see the city of Motovun and the smallest city on earth - Hum. Last stop before heading back to Zagreb is Opatija, often called the pearl of the Adriatic. In the past it was a summer and winter destination for the Austro-Hungarian nobility because of its mild Mediterranean climate, and today it is a place of luxury hotels, former villas and private summer residences.

Rafaella always helps us over and above our expectations. She helped us find the small village where our relatives were born with the minimal information that we had. We give her our highest recommendation.

My friends and I booked Ella's Truffle Hunting tour on our last day in Zagreb, and we can honestly say that we saved the best for last. From the moment she picked us up at 8:00 AM, Ella filled our day with happiness with her humor and charisma. The truffle hunting tour was the highlight of our trip, being able to search out and then cook a delicious meal with the truffles we found will be one of my fondest memories of my time in Croatia. Don't sleep on Ella and her tours!
