Fish farm boat tour in Portorož with wine and olive oil tasting at Fonda Fish Garden, plus a snack. 2.5-hour English outing.

Plus we had the opportunity to take a boat out to see the gardens. They are amazing! And we also had a lovely wine and snack at the end. It was a wonderful time and we highly recommend this experience.”
