Tour offers an unforgettable experience, combining history, gastronomy. - Our guide, Tom, was extremely professional and informative, making the tour both educational and enjoyable. The journey began with a pick-up from our hotel, and the first highlight was a spectacular viewpoint overlooking the Elaphiti Islands. A walk along the Ston Walls, the longest in Europe, provided breathtaking panoramic views, while the visit to the centuries-old saltworks gave us insight into traditional salt production. The highlight of the tour was visiting Mr. Dubo's oyster farm in the fishing village of Hodilje. Tasting fresh oysters straight from the sea while enjoying a boat ride was an unforgettable experience. We also visited the Miloš winery, where we savored authentic, high-quality local wines. The tour concluded in Mali Ston, where we enjoyed local specialties at the Bota Šare restaurant, which impressed us with its outstanding food and service. Tom's expert guidance, kindness, and extensive knowledge of the region's history and culture made this tour a true gem. Highly recommended for anyone eager to explore the richness of the Dubrovnik area in an authentic and relaxing way.
