Walk Pula's atmospheric old town with a private archaeologist-guide, centring on the impossibly well-preserved Temple of Augustus — one of only three complete Roman temples remaining outside Italy — set in a living Roman forum still used as a town square.
What to expect
Begin at the perfectly proportioned Temple of Augustus — your archaeologist-guide decodes two millennia of history written into its stones. Cross the living Roman Forum, pass through the Arch of the Sergii, and discover the Byzantine mosaic floors of St. Mary Formosa. Climb to the Venetian hilltop fortress for sweeping harbour views before a private Istrian olive oil and Malvazija tasting rounds off the tour in style.
Good to know
The old town is entirely walkable from the cruise pier — no transfer needed. Pre-book your private guide at least 48 hours ahead. Morning tours are cooler and less crowded; the Forum is magical in the early light. The full tour fits comfortably within a standard port day.
