A great day trip from Dubrovnik - The driver/guide clearly enjoys his work. He was engaging and offered insightful comments about Croatia. The experience at the winery was mixed. The staff member did not provide much information about the wines were were tasting; perhaps due to limited fluency in English. But glad it was included in the tour.

Great full day trip - I was actually booked on the Elaphati Islands trip but it got cancelled due to the bad weather and I got asked by Supertours if I wanted to join this trip instead which was very nice. I’m so glad I did, it was a fantastic day from start to finish. I got picked up from my hotel where I joined 7 other people. The driver/tour guide was so knowledgeable, he told us some historical facts along the journey, he would know the answer to all your questions. The first stop was Ston where we wondered around, if you like your history and scenery you will enjoy. I chilled and stopped for a coffee and talked to an artist. Then back in the car after I think 1.5 to go to Korcula where we took the ferry. Korcula was really nice, right by the sea was which was lovely to watch and take photos. Again lots of wondering around taking in the scenery, there’s a bell tower you can explore, lots of history, I stopped for homemade pizza for lunch. The tour finished with a wine tasting which was so nice! I was then dropped back to my hotel. Thank you!

With wine who needs to speak the same language - Quaint little towns, boat ride to Korcula was fun, small group is definitely the way to go, met a gentleman from Japan and a family from the Ivory Coast. Nothing like wine to get three different cultures in sync.

Amazing day trip - The Korcula Island trip was the best part, views were amazing. Our tour guide told nicely about Croatia, Ston and Korcula. I was hoping to taste more wines so I would know better what to bring as souveniers :)! I would definitely recommend this trip!

Great walls, history and wine - Ston is amazing, worth another visit to walk the walls. Island trip nice. Wine tasting really interesting in terms of technique used, decent tasting. Our guide for the day was great and knowledge.

Nicely organized day tour and worth visiting 3 MUST-DOs all in 1 day! - Nicely organized tour that combines some of the MUST-DO near Dubrovnik in 1-day (~11 hrs). First stop is in Ston for 1 hr (it will not be enough time to walk the walls, but you can walk around the village and make sure to try an oyster! the locals were very nice and opened an oyster for me to try at 10am). At Korčula, you are given 3 hrs to visit the town, which is sufficient to have lunch, do some sightseeing and relax by the beach. The final stop is the wine tasting, pleasant and the owners are open to letting you try more than what is covered by the agency.
Anet was our tour guide, friendly, knowledgeable, and a local. I had motion sickness on the bus for the first half of the ride (the roads are generally pretty smooth but windy), and my tour guide was very nice to check up on me and we made a small pit stop. The other visitors were also very nice to ask about me.
Highly recommend!

Could be better - The reason we went with this tour is they said they could pick up from local hotel as per drop down menu but day before trip tried to change pick to Dubrovnik. After several exchanges through watsapp they finally agreed to original pick up point only to get on mini bus to find another couple with same problem. Please be aware this is not a guided tour. Some places of intrest are pointed out from mini bus but you are left to your own devices doesn't even come over on ferry to Korcula. One hour in Ston just to see small town ok but not enough time to explore city walls. Korcula is stunning with great views and plenty of places to eat and drink and a few inlets if you fancied a swim. Wine tasting was an hour with small tour at start and 3 wines to try at end. Finally if you get travel sick please beware driving in Croatia is like playing a game of Grand Theft Auto. Terrifing.

Korkula/Ston/winery - Wine tasting at a small winery was great-tried 8 different wines with great educational sharing. Disappointed in Ston -some information provided about Wall and Salt mine. In Korkula, the guide took us up to the main entrance and turned us lose for 3 hours-tour suggested more structure.

Tour description on Viator was changed after we took the tour and filed a complaint. - The trip was not as a described on the moment we booked and did the tour. The only part in the description that is correct is the visit to Ston. When we booked and took the tour a photostop on the bridge and a guided tour in Korcula where part of the description. The photostop did not happen, and ther was no guided tour in Korcula (dropped of at a boat, driver told us he would be back in 3 hours to pick us up).
I later noticed that there should have been a tour of a famous winery in Potomje with wine and liquor tasting. We got a stop at a local cooperation in Putkinovic with a 'museum' and 3 quick shots of wine. I noticed that this part of the tour is still the same, I wonder how long it will take them to change this also.
Other issue was that the driver drove like a madman, overtaking where you should not, and driving up to the bumper of the cars in front of us. Several cars just got of the road just to let him pass.
I filed a formal complaint via VIATOR, but after four days still no reply from Supertours. Only thing I now notice is that the tour description was changed after I complained about the photostop and the Korcula tour. I still have screenshots of the original text which included a guided tour in Korcula and the photostop at the bridge, do no, I did not misread or confused tours from different operatord.
Anything positive about the day? Korcula and Ston are wonderful to visit, just not with this company.

Korcula tour cancelled at 10pm the night before - this tour is not their top priority - If you are considering this company for a tour to Korcula, use a different company. You will notice that very few of these reviews are for Korcula. It seems this tour does not run very often and it does not seem to be as important for them as the Mostar and Kotor tours.
Super Tours cancelled our Korcula day tour at 10pm the night before, even after we had reconfirmed the pickup location with them a few hours before via WhatsApp. This was due to low numbers and it doesn't seem they run this tour unless they have enough people to justify it. Super Tours asked us to postpone 1-2 days, which we were unable to as we were already leaving Dubrovnik by then.
It was a real shame as it was too late to rebook to another company, and Super Tours made no effort to keep their commitment or even find us another company to go with. We ended up not being able to go to Korcula at all, and we had already arranged our plans around this tour.
Really, really disappointed by the lack of professionalism - if Super Tours knew they could not get the pax numbers for this tour, this would not have changed between 6pm and 10pm, so they should not have reconfirmed the tour with us at 6pm, which would have still left us a chance to book a different company (as the reconfirmation was already past standard business hours). Honestly even if we did accept the postponement, I am not convinced that the tour would have actually run.
The one saving grace is that we DID receive a full and prompt refund.
