After meeting your local guide at the starting point in central Istria, you will begin your adventure by driving along hidden forest trails and remote off-road routes, far from busy tourist roads. This experience takes you deep into the authentic Istrian landscape, accessible only to true adventurers.

During the ride, you will pass through scenic countryside, cross shallow streams, and enjoy several exciting water crossings, making this a true off-road experience. The route leads to charming Istrian towns and villages, including a visit to the historic town of Hum, known as the smallest town in the world.

      We did the off-road gastro tour with Martin and it was the BEST tour we have ever taken!! Martin is fun, energetic and went above and beyond to make it the perfect day. The off-roading was great, there was tons of liquor tasting, and the food was absolutely delicious. We really felt like we got off the beaten path and got to experience the real Istria. Highly recommend!!

      We had the best day ever with Martin on the Off Road Gastro Tour! We booked for our family of 4, with 2 adults and 2 teenagers and it was so much fun! It was thrilling to cruise through the wilds of back country Istria, bumping and crashing over rocks, wading through rivers and edging down steep slopes. We stopped at some really fascinating sites including Kotli and Hum, where we explored the museum and tasted the local produce. This broke up the journey nicely. At our final stop we learned to taste olive oil and were treated to the most delicious lunch! Martin was so friendly and immediately put us at ease, and he was a very informative tour guide so we felt like we learned a lot about the local geography and culture. We would highly recommend this off road tour! It was the highlight of our trip in Istria and perfect for a family who want something fun and adventurous to do together!
