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.

Memorable, beautiful excursion! - Gorgeous blue sea, beautiful island, lots of free time, energetic guide. A surprisingly small boat to ride, not the "ship" advertised.

Not a real tour- just transportation. - This was not a tour. We had a private car and driver take us to Ston (too early to do oysters) and then to ferry to get to Korcula. No guided tour at any time. On return trip, we stopped at wine tasting which was nice. Daniel was a great driver and provided information while driving. But not what expected.

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.

Trip cancelled - Unfortunately our trip was cancelled by the tour operator the night before we were due to go, which was very disappointing, they didn't have the minimum amount of people for the trip. They offered us a private tour but we declined because we thought it would have been more fun with other people.

Two tour dates cancelled - extremely disappointing! - Didn't get to experience Korcula or wine tasting. Confirmed paid tour 10 June did not run, supposedly due to insufficient numbers. Booked on next day available 12 June which was also cancelled. Wonder if I would have been notified if I hadn't contacted the company to reconfirm tour date change ?? Offered private tour for 300 euros extra, tour date after departure from country or alternate tour which I had already informed them I had done. Two tours in one week not available?? Company shouldn't accept bookings and take payment for tours they can't deliver. No time left to book tour with another company. Tripadvisor needs to remove 'Highly likely to sell out' label and look at promoting this tour. And if I was bumped twice due to group demand, company doesn't deserve solo traveler bookings that also deserve fair consideration. Will probably not return to Croatia again. So I will not see Korcula. Highly disappointed not doing this highlight tour. Look forward to receiving refund.

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.
