“My son and I had a terrific time with Dino! We absolutely loved it! Communication was excellent all the way through. The drive along the coast and into the valley in itself was worth everything. We thoroughly enjoyed the family winery and the wines (and other locals confirmed that this is the place to go!) - it was truly lovely. And the lunch was delicious. We learned so much from Dino and really had a great time with him! Definitely recommend this tour - all around it is very very good!”

The outdoor dining area was idyllic. Thank you Matti for showing us so many lovely spots, sharing all of your great stories and acting as our photographer as well. The pictures you took of our group are great souvenirs of our fantastic day.”

“Best tour guide ever, but we forgot to write down his name. Meeting point was other side of Dubrovnik, ill-described by the tour company. He kept looking until he found us in the hordes of tourists. Good listener with his own interesting story, retired from Zagreb police department after a tragedy, before he was 23, his present age. The excellent winery had been incorrectly scheduled. He filled the potentially wasted 30+ minutes with a picturesque and informative side tour. Sorry about the name. Sam?”

Konavle Valley food and wine tour from Dubrovnik. 4 hours with pickup, winery tastings, and a riverside meal, in English.
“Our driver to Konavle, Ivan, was absolutely unprofessional from start to finish. He was hurried and stressed when he arrived. Apparently the original driver cancelled at the last minute leaving Ivan to fill in. He complained about the traffic and said he would likely get a high fine for driving through Old Town Dubrovnik without the proper identification required. He double parked in a random lot, leaving us alone for 5-10 minutes to go get cash to pay for the evening's activities. He talked incessantly. He tried to talk us into a side trip the following day to Montenegro, changing his prices to try and sway us. At the vineyard…”
Private 4-hour Dubrovnik tour to Cavtat and Konavle, with river Ljuta lunch, brandy, wine, and traditional Peka.
“The “guide” was really nothing more than a driver. Provided very little information to no information about the sights. While he spoke English, he preferred to speak Spanish — luckily one of our party was fluent in Spanish. Worst thing is that the driver was a terrible driver, sometimes driving nearly twice the posted speed.. We had to ask him to slow down a couple of times. He did not maintain a safe following distance. At one point he had to slam on his brakes when a group of motorcycles came to a stop in front of him and he missed taking out one of the motorcycles by perhaps a…”
Private half-day from Dubrovnik to Cavtat and Konavle, with views from Sokol Tower, Ljuta River, and a Miljas winery tasting.
“The first stop you get "dropped off" for 45 to 60 minutes. Its early, so galleries are not open. Hope you wanted food because nothing else to do. Next stop cool fort! That is something to grab a taxi and see, its a very good fort. 'Wine Tasting'...no. Seemed a weird set up in the guy's garage. No orchard tour, just literally a garage. The wines seemed old, but the one he opened there was ok. Great cheese which his neighbor made (I'd have bought that), we enjoyed this standing around the garage. This tour is very expensive and really left me with a creepy vibe. You can get a…”
Every kind of day this city runs, and the best of each.
