Overview

Do you want to experience the authentic, local Istria, with its cuisine and countryside? Then you should join us on a vespa adventure.

We will guide you along scenic paths through vineyards and ancient olive groves, with views of the salt flats on the way. Our focus is on exploring hidden corners of the landscape and indulging in genuine local cuisine.

Our tour starts in small town of Piran with a short drive through the city to get to the countryside. Stops are frequent, so we can enjoy the view and take as many photos as you would like. A local oil farmer waits for us along the way, where we will get a degustation of extra virgin olive oil. Later on we provide a light lunch where you can take a short walk through an Istrian village.

On our way back we will take a road along the coastline with views of the ocean and seaside cities as well as surrounding countries. we finish off with a glass of local wine back at the office while sharing impressions of the tour.
