Amphitheatre de Pula
Travel back in time to the days when togas were all the rage. Pula is to Croatia what Rome is to Italy. There is no hiding the city’s main attraction – an enormous Roman Amphitheatre.

Our guide Tin was amazing
A very well organised excursion. Perfect for seeing the best of Istria. The highlight was our guide Tin, the perfect mix of knowledge, humour, kindness and a commitment to ensure everyone had a lovely day. I would highly recommend this excursion

Nice but rushed. Always seemed to be on the clock
Pula was nice, but was rushed. Amphitheatre time was limited, and only given 15mins free time. Not enough. By the time visited toilet, you had to leave for next part of tour. Shame as would have been good to explore it more. Was expecting gladiator tour - but this didn’t happen. Just a young lad charging €5 for a picture (not worth it). Pula city had about 40mins free time, enough to get an ice cream and work to centre and turn around. Meal was 40min journey from Pula - was nice food. Seemed to be a deal with family farm as 4 different tour groups there. Trip into Rovinj, 40mins. This seemed nice place and we had 1hr30 free time there. After long day seemed too long. Would’ve liked more free time earlier at the amphitheatre. Shame that we felt we were rushed earlier in the day when time could’ve been shared more equally. Don’t think it was value for money. Wouldn’t recommend in current format, but if better use / share of time then we would recommend.

Great day trip
This was a brilliant trip from start to finish, our guide Tin was superb and his knowledge of the area was so interesting. Our driver was great too and saved us time avoiding traffic. The trip to Pula was so interesting and just the right mix of guided tour and free time. It absolutely poured with rain while we were there but it meant we had the amphitheater to ourselves, which was amazing. Lunch was traditional Croatian and we loved this, all home made including the wine a lovely stop off the tourist track. The afternoon was spent in Rovinj which was just beautiful, it’s definitely worth walking up to the church and so very interesting when Tin told us the history of the church and area. My two teenage daughters loved the day. It’s a full day and a great way to see the area if you don’t have a car, I would highly recommend this tour.

Informative, fun, comfortable with nice lunch.
Wonderful day trip. Tin the guide was pleasant, knowledgeable and friendly. He gauged the level of informative commentary and stories with quiet time when traveling on the bus well. The duration of the day was very good and well planned to showcase key historical events and grasp a sense of modern Istria. The driver on the day was exceptional, ensuring a safe, comfortable and pleasurable trip. 👍

Day trip to Rovinj and Pula with lunch from Poreč: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovinj.
How much does Day trip to Rovinj and Pula with lunch from Poreč cost?
+
Prices start at $48 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rovinj usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day trip to Rovinj and Pula with lunch from Poreč take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rovinj is not rushed.
Is Day trip to Rovinj and Pula with lunch from Poreč worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rovinj, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day trip to Rovinj and Pula with lunch from Poreč?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Day trip to Rovinj and Pula with lunch from Poreč suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day trip to Rovinj and Pula with lunch from Poreč?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rovinj can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rovinj and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day trip to Rovinj and Pula with lunch from Poreč start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rovinj within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rovinj?
+
On Outty we rank every Rovinj experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include BUBA-Kayak Tours Rovinj FREE-drinks,pictures,snorkeling equipment, Rovinj amazing kayak tour-free drink &snorkeling &jumps &photos, Truffle hunting adventure. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rovinj?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rovinj?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
