Go in winter and everything is awesome. - 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.

Wonderful tour company. They were fantastic! - 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.

Wonderful tour and guide - 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 Tour - Very Well Organized - 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.

Well organized guide - 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

The BEST culture and food tour ever! - 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!
