Visit Beautiful Korcula and Sample Delicious Wines North of Dubrovnik - An absolute must for anyone wanting to wind down at the end of a vacation or someone wanting something low key to do away from the crowds. On the bus ride down the coast of Dubrovnik, we visited a small town known for their salt distribution. It was a beautiful little slice of local life and we stopped by a cafe and bakery there before continuing to our boat to take the short hop across to Korcula. Korcula is an absolute joy. We went into Old Town at the top of our stop and visited the home and museums of Marco Polo. Korcula is nothing but stunning views, delicious food and gorgeous beaches. After 2 and a half hours there, we stopped for fresh, right out of the bay while we’re eating, oysters and then went wine tasting to finish the trip off. What a wonderful experience. I highly recommend. My only complaint was coordinating the pickup at the beginning of the trip. We had to take a taxi to meet a minivan that brought us to the bus. Evidently the bus did a pickup straight from the walls of Old Town. That had more to do with the TripAdvisor agency linking the trips than the actual trip coordinators.

Brilliant day - Tour guide Daf was polite, friendly and knowledgeable about the area and kept us informed throughout the day. We couldn't have asked for a better guide! The day started by bring picked up from the hotel and then we saw all the coast on our way to the boat across to Korcula. Daf stopped at certain points for photo opportunities which was nice. After the boat ride across we were left to explore for 3 hours which was plenty of time to get something to eat and wander around. Korcula is beautiful and well worth the visit. On the way back we were treated to a wine tasting which resulted in giggly passengers on the way back after! All in all, it was a fantastic day!!

Fabulous trip - Really fab day. Ancient town of Ston is so interesting, the wine tasting experience was excellent and we were well looked after and the Island of Korcula is simply stunning. Lovely little quirky ferry ride to top it off

Weekend at the seaside - Very interesting old city to visit and spectacular coast and sea The hotels with sea view are interesting, but some are not very recent and have very high prices

The tour was a good... - The tour was a good assortment of stops and activities. The drop in the rating for us was that our issue with the trip was that it was described as a small bus/van tour and we were on a motor coach bus as the operator had combined an English tour with a German tour so not only did we listen to the presentation in English, we were subjected to listen to it in German as well. The tour describes that the drop off spot is the same as the pick up… staying in old town this is not the case. We were picked up just outside the gates to Old Town but dropped off a 10 minute walk from that location as we were informed the bus could not go down there at that time of day - not sure of that as by the time we got there, there were other tour buses dropping people off. The tour guide was knowledgeable but not a great speaker.

A rather mediocre experience. - We enjoyed a small group tour due to our out of season visit. Our first stop in Ston was early in the morning, when almost all cafés & restaurants were closed, so we couldn't taste the delicious oysters this small town was so popular for. I appreciate the nice gesture from our driver Carlos to let us vote in favour of a second stop in Ston on our way back for an oyster tasting experience (it didn't disappoint at all!). Despite the amazing sea views, we weren't impressed with the 10-mins boat ride to Korcula, yet the island itself was a beautiful place to see and wander through for a while. The wine tasting experience was a little disappointing as the speaker was too nervous to pitch the presentation well in English, and visitors didn't go into many questions to avoid extra pressure on the person. The introduced wines & liquors were of good quality though. Personally, I'd recommend a similar itinerary with a different operator and a slightly more knowledgeable guide.
