Our day with H exploring Ston and the Pelješac Peninsula was completely different from our other excursions and gave us a wonderful taste of the food, wine, history, and traditions of the area. The oyster farm was especially fun. We went out on the water and tasted oysters and mussels straight from the sea, but the biggest surprise for our group was actually the fresh anchovies. They were nothing like the salty anchovies many of us were expecting. They were delicate and incredibly fresh and ended up being one of the things we talked about afterward. H also took us to the historic salt pans at Ston. Seeing them and learning how important salt once was to the wealth and history of Dubrovnik made what might otherwise have looked like simple pools of seawater suddenly much more interesting. We continued into the Pelješac wine country for a tasting, with beautiful scenery along the way. What we enjoyed most about the day was the variety—oysters and mussels from the sea, those unexpectedly wonderful anchovies, centuries-old salt production, local wine, and the landscape that connects all of it. As with our other days with H, we never felt rushed from one attraction to another. He gave us time to enjoy each experience and added the local knowledge that makes a private excursion worthwhile. If you want to experience more than just the sights around Dubrovnik, we highly recommend spending a day with H discovering Ston and Pelješac. For us, it was a delicious and memorable glimpse into a very different side of this beautiful region.

We had a fabulous day out with H booked at short notice. Two lovely vineyards and gorgeous and quiet fresh seafood meal at an oyster farm. H was super helpful, accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend him again.
My husband and I recently booked a transfer from Hvar to Dubrovnik with stops at a local winery, an oyster farm, and the historic town of Ston. From start to finish, everything was seamless thanks to our guide, Hrvoje, who was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire day effortless. The winery was outstanding—we had the opportunity to taste some of Croatia’s finest, award-winning wines, and every selection was exceptional. The absolute highlight of the day was the oyster farm, where we enjoyed the freshest oysters and seafood lunch right in the middle of the sea. It was truly one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve ever had and, without a doubt, the best oysters and seafood I’ve ever eaten. This was so much more than just a transfer—it was one of the highlights of our trip to Croatia. If you’re traveling from Hvar to Dubrovnik, I can’t recommend this experience enough. Thank you, Hrvoje, for making our day absolutely perfect!
H was a very good tour guide for our day of wine and oyster tasting. He is extremely knowledgable and ran the tour seamlessly for the entire day. The two wineries he introduced us to were remarkable and very different in style and experience. It was an excellent balance. The oyster tasting was also very interesting and the food was plentiful. It was a very well spent day.
Hrvoje is a really experienced and super friendly tour guide . We did the wine tasting and oyster farm tour alongside. Fantastic beach stop and a stop in Ston for the famous wall and salt manufacture - the wine was amazing , some of the best in the world (they won global competitions) and the oyster farm we had all to ourselves in the middle of paradise - clean waters, nature and absolutely NO people unlike Dubrovnik. I am not an Oyster fan, but here you get them right from the sea onto your plate - a unique experience and according to the local oyster farm employee one of the only places in the world they still grow this specific oyster as other places became too polluted, unlike this bay in Croatia Hrvoje uses a brand new V Class Mercedes - the transport is comfortable and save . We are very happy with his service so we also booked him for our transport to Split tomorrow
Excellent day today touring Ston and visiting an oyster farm. Cute city, enjoyed the scenery. Farm experience was interesting and lunch was absolutely fantastic!
It was awesome! One of the best tour n I’d do it again! Our tour guide H was amazing! Explained a lot about the tour n got to appreciate n understand d complexity of oyster farming! We enjoyed every second of our tour! We were so fortunate to have him for our guide👍
H was a fantastic host. We were picked up directly from the ferry and taken on a half day tour. First we were brought to the town of Ston where we were able to take in the picturesque town. Once we finished we were then brought to a private oyster tasting with lunch. Fresh from the bay. Absolutely amazing. Being from the Cape Cod area we know oysters, these were amazing. Once we concluded the tasting we were brought to a small family owned winery. The winery had stunning views along with amazing wine and cheese tasting. We are thrilled to have met H and had such a fantastic time. If you are looking for a tour guide, he’s your guy!
The tour to Ston was such a joy. One of our favorite trips in Croatia. From climbing the wall in Ston to sampling fresh oysters. I highly recommend this trip with Simply H
Our family of 4 really enjoyed this oyster tour with a family owned farm. Scenic and relaxing, this private tour will give you insight on the whole oyster growing process and we all left with a deeper appreciation for these delicacies! When we arrived, we were greeted grappa and local traditional snacks. This tour gives generous portions of oysters and mussels- in fact, the largest steamed mussel pot I’ve ever seen! The flavors were delicious and savory with simple, fresh ingredients. The anchovies are marinated in lemon juice for several hours- light and refreshing. They also gave us a carafe of wine on the table that complemented the seafood perfectly. We highly recommend this tour if you enjoy oysters!
Our driver/ guide was so accommodating and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful day visiting the winery and oyster farm. “H” took us to an amazing restaurant for lunch and gave us a recommendation for dinner that was also amazing. Thank you!
We had a fantastic time on the tour the wine tasting was very nice and we had a really good selection of different wines to taste and lovely cheese platter. The guide was very helpful and informative. The oyster tasting was a truly remarkable experience we were brought by boat to the centre of the sea which resembled a lake beside the island of life where we were shown how the oyster life cycle and the oysters were then prepared for us as part of a lovely lunch. It was very special.i would highly recommend this tour we loved it and will always remember it.
The day trip organized by Simply H to Pelješac was an exceptional way to conclude our visit to Croatia. We had the opportunity to experience the best of two premium wineries, where we savored some of the most exquisite wines. The sommelier gave us a comprehensive introduction to the local wines and took us on an informative cellar tour. Later, we were treated to a sumptuous lunch at a private oyster farm, which was the highlight of our trip.
Today's wine-tasting tour was an absolute delight, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves indulging in pure hedonism. The coastal road offered stunning views of the islands, and our visit to Ston was terrific! Our wines were of top-notch quality, and we couldn't resist taking some of them home. And the lunch we had at the oyster farm was hands down the best we've had in Croatia! We were given a reserved spot on the oyster platform exclusively reserved for us. I strongly suggest taking this tour with Simply H to experience the best of everything.

We received a lot of positive reviews for Simply H Company and we are delighted! The wineries he chose were premium, the sommelier explained the whole process and we took a tour of the cellar. Later we went to an oyster farm where we tasted directly from the sea. We never had the opportunity to taste the fresh ones. Finally, we had a sightseeing tour of Ston. This tour is purely gastronomic hedonism.. recommendations for Simply H to everyone.
