This was a great to visit Ston, Korcula, including wine tasting at a small winery- from Dubrovnik. Ivo was a fantastic guide! He knows an extraordinary amount of history + he shared true feelings as he lived through the War from 1991-1995. Ivo took great care of our group of 4- he seems to know people everywhere we stopped! Beautiful, stunning scenery. I strongly recommend Ivo and this tour. Thank you Ivo!!

We had a great day with Mijo! We learned so much about Croatia - both past and present- while being awed by the beautiful scenery. Korcula was amazing! We’ve done many wine tastings through the years but this one was by far the most memorable and enjoyable. Also, the salt fields, oyster fields and wall up the mountain were so interesting. Dubrovnik is fantastic but I highly recommend seeing these other sights as well!
Melo was awesome. Absolutely awesome day!
A great day! Jacob was a great guide, very informative, a pleasure to be with and attentive to our needs - adjusting the schedule to avoid an unexpected rain shower! Definitely recommend!
Our family of 4 booked 3 tours through Dubrovnik Day Tours (Korcula&Peljesac, Full day boat tour, and Kotor/Montenegro). The Korcula tour was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide (Miho) picked us up right outside our AirBnB and we travelled in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan for the day. Miho provided a great synopsis of the history the region, peppered with many hilarious anecdotes from his military service as well as more recent work as a tour guide. The drive along the coast is stunning. After a short stop in Ston (salt and oyster farming) we continued on to Korcula. Here, we were provided a guided tour of the old city by Eddy, a local guide hand-picked for us. We thoroughly enjoyed this Korcula city tour - Eddy was not only informative but also passionate about the history of the island. After lunch at a seaside restaurant, we continued our driving tour to the Peljesac region for a wine tasting. Not only was the wine sensational, the owner of the winery was an absolutely lovely lady. She gave us a history of the winery from the days of the communist rule through to today, when her sons have taken over the day-to-day functioning. After the wine, we returned back to Dubrovnik in time for a dinner! Overall a fantastic tour - well thought-out, organized, and executed perfectly. Would highly recommend!
We had a fabulous full-day private tour to Korčula, Ston, Antičević Winery, and an oyster tasting. Our driver, Miho, was absolutely amazing!! He was so personable, attentive, and always making sure that we were enjoying ourselves. This day was one of the highlights of our two weeks in Croatia. My only complaint was that we didn’t have enough time in Korčula - two hours is too short, and meant we had to choose between eating and exploring/taking photos. Three hours would be perfect. Otherwise a fabulous day!
Informative guide- very knowledgeable on history, architecture local routes and other aspects of the tour.
I enjoyed the tour very much. The guide and driver were knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. The car was nice and comfortable. Although the weather wasn't the best, it was a great day on this private tour.
This is the tour I’d recommend to people, visited Korcula with local guide who gave a lot of history in very interesting manner, engaging our teen. Despite a long drive, it worth the scenery on the way to ferry
A really good day exploring a bit more of Croatia. We had Stephen as our guide and he was amazing. Well worth the money.
My partner and I had a wonderful start to our trip in Croatia by taking this tour. It started at a reasonable time, around 8am and we took the lovely winding roads to Ston. We spent some time familiarizing ourselves with the cats in town and then we were off to catch the ferry and on to Korcula. Be sure to ask about the history of the bridge that is being built to connect the two parts of Croatia! It was wonderful to see the countryside and talk about Croatian culture and history with Ivo. The food on the trip was amazing and the we couldn't have asked for a better day. Go in the winter because you'll miss the people but still experience the lovely weather one always imagines in the Mediterranean.
We were greeted at our hotel by wonderful Stefan for our beautiful day tour of Korčula, Ston and wine tasting. It was phenomenal! It’s a must see trip. Absolutely gorgeous! The next day Ivo picked us up in another clean fab car to take us to visit Pocitelj, Blagaj and Mostar in Bosnia. It was wonderful. Best way to see Bosnia. Each town was great. Ivo made sure to take us to all the best photo sites and even took us to get the Burek (flavors - meat, cheese and spinach, pumpkin and cheese) with yogurt - it was delicious 😋 , Ivo was an encyclopedia of knowledge on the history of the areas and I highly recommend this company for all your southern Croatia needs.
This was an amazing tour that included so much—a beautiful island, an excellent wine tasting, and visit to Ston. We enjoyed it very much and learned a great deal from Stjepan, who was an excellent guide.
Great experience! Our guide, Stjepan, was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about the history of the places that we visited. We toured after the end of the tourist season so many things were closed but this was not a big deal. The places we visited were beautiful and having Stjepan tell us the stories behind certain things/places that we saw plus getting to see them without hoards of people allowed us to appreciate it even more.
Stjepan organized a great trip to Korcula with extra points along the way at a very competitive price. He is a guide so he has a lot of knowledge about the country that he willingly shares. Everything on time, perfectly organized. The car is comfortable, clean. Very nice time and lots of information. Yours sincerely, Artur
This was the most enjoyable culture tour I have ever taken. Ivo is both incredibly knowledgeable and personable. His professionalism and care provided a smooth day full of exploration and fun! Korcula was incredible by itself, but including the wine and oyster tastings made the trip even better. Riding out to the oysters in the oysterman's boat and tasting them right out of the bay was an experience that can never be forgotten! I know I will always work with this team when I return to Croatia!
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Croatia. Our guide was amazing! Everything was perfectly choreographed, including free time, and we felt so welcome and comfortable and well taken care of. If you can swing it, do add the wine tasting and the oyster tasting to the day trip. The oysters were probably the best oysters I've ever eaten, and we ate them with the man who grows them, on his boat, right where they grow. It was an experience we will never forget! Worth every Euro!!!
Super Reiseleiter, der sein umfangreiches Wissen weitergab! Sehr zu empfehlen. Auch die Führung durch den Weinkeller war sehr schön.
