“Our experience with this tour was amazing! Ivan was easy to find at the pier. He was so so friendly and nice and made the day amazing. It was a great way to explore the islands and see a little of everything. The boat was super nice and clean and the water and stops were beautiful and so clear. This was our favorite tour we did on our 2 week cruise.”
Half-day family wine tasting in Konavle Valley and Cavtat. Taste awarded wines, homemade food and liqueurs from Dubrovnik.
“10/10 highly recommended, a seriously authentic croatian winery visit with wine and food tasting/pairing lesson. Ran by a gorgeous croatian family for the past 600 years. The location is about a 10min drive from Mlini (around 30mins from old town), and the one hour in cavtat is perfect to walk off the food and grab another glass of wine by the sea.”
Half-day family winery near Dubrovnik, tastings of four wines and homemade food, then Cavtat for coffee or ice cream. Pickup included.
“5 wine tastings were decent, nothing mind blowing. Meat and cheese were excellent. No tour of the winery (I wasn’t expecting it but it would have been a nice bonus). I think the trip as a whole was overpriced (but maybe “acceptable” for this area?). Driver may or may not be able to pick you up or drop you off, depending on where you are staying (some areas near old town restricted for certain types of vehicles), but the company communicated well about this. A group of 5 of us were the only ones at this very small local winery - pros and cons to this. Locals were all very…”

“What a great experience! The communication from the tour organisers was good, the boat was great and the trip was tailored to what we preferred to do. We stopped at a few islands, in some beautiful locations. Our skipper was fantastic - told us interesting facts about places, answered questions and was friendly and fun. Drinks selection was good and we could play our own music. We also had an opportunity to use a gopro camera, which was a nice surprise and received a video soon after :)”

Our tour guide, Tom, helped us figure out what would be the best for us, and we absolutely love it. Would recommend and we will be back next time we visit Dubrovnik!”
