About this tour
This call helps plan a food and wine route through Istria around Pula, covering truffle season, the inland wine roads and how much time each realistically needs. Toni draws on years working in an old town restaurant to explain what is worth the detour and what is not. It stays practical rather than describing any single meal.
The call opens with a quick description of what someone hopes to eat or drink, and Toni shapes the rest of the conversation around that. He shares a map on screen and sends a short list of names afterward.
This suits anyone planning several days around Pula who wants a realistic route rather than a long list. It also works well booked before any of the filmed market or coastline sessions.
Included
- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Pula: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
How it works
- Your guide calls the number you give at booking.
- This runs as a call on Google Meet, with a shared map rather than a walk. My camera stays on so it still feels like a proper conversation.
