Amazing Korcula/Peljesac tour! - Our family of 4 booked 3 tours through Dubrovnik Day Tours (Korcula&Peljesac, Full day boat tour, and Kotor/Montenegro). The Korcula tour was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide (Miho) picked us up right outside our AirBnB and we travelled in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan for the day. Miho provided a great synopsis of the history the region, peppered with many hilarious anecdotes from his military service as well as more recent work as a tour guide. The drive along the coast is stunning. After a short stop in Ston (salt and oyster farming) we continued on to Korcula. Here, we were provided a guided tour of the old city by Eddy, a local guide hand-picked for us. We thoroughly enjoyed this Korcula city tour - Eddy was not only informative but also passionate about the history of the island. After lunch at a seaside restaurant, we continued our driving tour to the Peljesac region for a wine tasting. Not only was the wine sensational, the owner of the winery was an absolutely lovely lady. She gave us a history of the winery from the days of the communist rule through to today, when her sons have taken over the day-to-day functioning. After the wine, we returned back to Dubrovnik in time for a dinner! Overall a fantastic tour - well thought-out, organized, and executed perfectly. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic Day!! - We had a fabulous full-day private tour to Korčula, Ston, Antičević Winery, and an oyster tasting. Our driver, Miho, was absolutely amazing!! He was so personable, attentive, and always making sure that we were enjoying ourselves. This day was one of the highlights of our two weeks in Croatia. My only complaint was that we didn’t have enough time in Korčula - two hours is too short, and meant we had to choose between eating and exploring/taking photos. Three hours would be perfect. Otherwise a fabulous day!

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.
