We had a great time!... - We had a great time! Ivona was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. We loved being able to visit the oyster/muscle farm and taste the fresh seafood - definitely a unique opportunity. This tour was a great way to see and experience a lot in the Dubrovnik area all in one day.

Great day eating oysters and drinking wine - Just returned from a fun day learning and eating oysters and sampling wine at a vineyard. Ivona was our guide and was both knowledgeable and fun. There were only 3 couples on the tour, so it was intimate. The oysters came out directly from the sea, were shucked and devoured quickly. You could still taste the salt water from the sea. Also were served delicious mussels white, also just harvested. Definitely worth the price of the tour as it lasted 7 hours including the drive to and from our hotel.

Amazingly wonderful experience - This was a fantastic experience—one of our best ever private tours. Ivan’s picked us up at our hotel on time, and as we drove to the destinations she provided fascinating background stories. The oyster farm experience with Peter was amazing, and the fresh oysters and mussels were delicious. The winery tour was very interesting and the wine tasting was great. We had an exceptionally amazing time. I highly recommend this experience.

AMAZING TOUR. MUST DO!! - IVONA WAS SO AMAZING! We went at the end of April and we were the only two people in a nice Mercedes SUV. We had cold water bottles waiting. The pick up time was 9am for our tour and we returned at 330pm. It was so much more than just oysters and wine. It was a tour through the country side and a stop in Ston to see the history/importance of salt making in the region, on our way to the family osyter farm by boat with wine, muscles, and oysters schucked straight out of the sea. AMAZING. MUST DO. We will be telling everyone we know to do this tour. Thank you Ivona!! Maybe we will be neighbors someday! Haha

Book this tour asap! - This was a phenomenal tour! Ivona was a wonderful guide who share so much information and fun anecdotes about Dubrovnik in general and, specifically, the areas we visited in Ston. The winery we visited (Milos) offered a tour of their underground wine-making area and a sampling of their amazing wines. There was a brief walking tour of Ston and its salt-making area & stone wall, but the highlight was definitely the oysters and mussels we enjoyed just a short boat ride to the middle of the bay with its emerald green waters. Peter explained (and showed) the lengthy process they go through the harvest the most delicious oysters. It was an amazing experience- one I highly recommend!!

Authentic Croatian experience - Fantastic tour, a truly authentic Croatian experience. Seeing the town of Ston and salt mines was an added bonus & both the wine and olive oil tasting were excellent. The highlight was certainly the mussel & oyster experience- fresh out the water in beautiful surroundings, absolutely magical!
Damir was a wonderful host & could not have been more thoughtful & knowledgeable. Would certainly recommend!

Unbelievable experience with awesome “sustainable tasting” and “travel” experiences - What an amazing, memorable and must TRY experience! The journey started from the salt “salary” story of Ston to Matsuko winery. Ivona shared not only the ancient history of Dubrovnik but also the interesting grape farming methods with her professional knowledge. The winery cellar is so spectacular and you will never forget the great taste of the wines exploring in your mouth.
The experience of getting to know how organic oysters being farm and the warm hospitality of Peter, son of oyster farm owner was so impressive and educational.
This is not a just join and leave tour but you will get true experience of how great and sustainable food are cultivated, and tasting the true flavor of “fresh” oysters, “golden salts”, and “nature” blessed wines.
Very thankful for Ivona’s hospitality which truly completes our trip.

Oyster & wine lovers do not miss - We had an amazing day thanks to our guide Mislav. He was very informative and personable and we appreciated his knowledge about the country's rich history that he shared with us on the drive. We saw Ston's salt fields and magnificent wall. Then on to Milos Winery for a tasting of four wines & tour of the wine cellars. We also enjoyed tasting their olive oil and were so excited to be able to order a case of it and a case of wine to have shipped to us in the USA. After that, we were back in Ston for a boat ride to the oyster beds where we enjoyed fresh- shucked oysters and mussels. It was an incredible experience we won't forget. Highly recommend this tour and especially Mislav.
