A great day in Montenegro - Arrived in Dubrovnik and unfortunately Mother Nature was not cooperating so we were not able to take our boat tour. But our tour operator, Frankie, offered us several options to consider (wine tour, money back, etc) and we settled on a day trip to Montenegro and boy what a great choice! Andrija picked us up in a comfortable, Mercedes minivan and proceeded to give us a tour of a lifetime. About 45 mins east of Dubrovnik, we crossed over into Montenegro (must bring your passports) and made stops in the cities of Perast (where we did get to take a short private boat tour to Our Lady of Rocks church (25 euros each, but worth it) and Kotor (sites, shopping and a beautiful Fort Worth exploring). We ended with a late lunch/early dinner at a restaurant that Andrija recommended called Konoba Catovica Mlini. One of the BEST dining experiences ever (and yes, I’m a true foodie). The only thing that topped the food was the impeccable service. And Andrija surprised me with a birthday song and dessert! Dropped back at our hotel by 6:30pm. Thank you Frankie and Andrija for helping to make a most memorable day and birthday! Capucine Chicago, IL USA

Relaxing, beautiful, fun experience! - We really enjoyed stopping at the various islands with free time and stopping for a nice swim in the caves, as well. This combined with knowledgeable, friendly captain made for a perfect day. We opted to do this on our first day in Dubrovnik and it was a wonderful way to get an overview of the town and surrounding islands and enjoy a relaxing day before we began our more rigorous walking and museum tours for the remainder of our stay. Frankie was a great captain, highly recommend!

Amazing trip! - Fantastic trip today, the skipper Petro was amazing. A great way to spend the day if you want to avoid the crowds with expert opinions on where to visit and what to do but completely tailorable to your own preference. From driver pick up to skipper, completely professional experience. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing day boating around Dubrovnik and environs! - We had a FANTASTIC time with our captain Milan! He took us to around the islands, swimming in the caves, to an OUTSTANDING sushi restaurant in an INCREDIBLE setting. He shared the islands’ history and told us personal anecdotes and went above and beyond, introducing us to some of his friends we came across while swimming near the caves on the way home. It was an experience my boys (aged 21 and 17) will never forget. :)

Dubrovnik boat trip - We hired Ivan’s boat on a friends recommendation for a half day so we could snorkel in the Blue and Green caves and see some of the lovely islands like Kalamota & lopud and I have to say it didn’t disappoint. At this point I should say there are two Ivan’s one who sorts the bookings and taxi service collecting you from your hotel or base and delivering you to the port and Ivan no 2 who drives the boat and looks after you on the day and we found both to be very reliable, punctual and genuinely nice people who want you to get the most from your day out. Nothing is too much trouble for either and they will tailor the day exactly as you want so if there are specific places you want to visit they will oblige as long as within a feasible distance or you can rely on them to show all of the nice places to stop and visit along the way. We stopped for a late lunch on the island of Lopud and ate on Ivan’s recommendation at Obala restaurant which is a fine dining and we had one of the best meals we’d ever had which made the day even more special. Whilst you can book boat trips all over when in Dubrovnik and some but not all are cheaper if you want a Tailored experience which offers door to door collection experience in a group, that you dictate these guys are hard to beat. All in all this is a 5 star experience that we thoroughly enjoyed and when we visit Dubrovnik again, this will be high on our agenda. Thanks, Lee & Kellie.

Fantastic day! - We had the most fantastic day with Frano, the weather was choppy but he adapted accordingly to make sure we were comfortable. He suggested visiting the island of Lapud which was beautiful. We got to swim in lovely coves, snorkelling gear and underwater camera provided. It was the highlight of our stay in Croatia.

The perfect morning with a brilliant host. - My husband found this trip by chance as it was not on the Viator app that I could see, but my husband and son went together and they absolutely loved it. It was a small speedboat with the fabulously friendly and helpful Franco at the helm. They were picked up from their hotel and driven right down to where the boat was. It was just the two of them on the day they went and Franco basically told them he was at their service and they could do whatever they wanted and go wherever they wanted in the half day available. Towels and snorkelling equipment was all provided, as well as drinks and snacks. They went to the Blue Cave first and having done that headed straight off because it is very busy. They went next to the Green Cave and spent a long time exploring various caves and tunnels. Franco let them take as long as they wanted and was on hand when they got back with towels at the ready and the offer of refreshments. Franco also suggested a small seaside town on Lopud they could go to for ice cream and a walk, and then picked them up on the other side of the harbour so they had time to see as much as possible without having to rush back. Franco told them lots about the islands as they travelled to and from Lopud but also gave them lots of time to just enjoy their father and son time. They both thought he was brilliant, and if we ever return to Dubrovnik, we will be going again as a whole family and probably make an entire day of it. Thank you Franco for giving them such a fantastic time.

Incredible! - This was an incredible experience for my wife and I. Our guide was extremely professional and had great knowledge of the area. By far the best part of our trip. We were able to stop and swim in a few spots and had a great lunch at Reaturan Dubrovnik on Lokrum island. The service was perfect from beginning to end. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel in beautiful cars and escorted to and from the boat. 10/10 highly recommended.
