Based on TripAdvisor, I engaged Dino from Magical Croatia to pick us up from the Slano Marina and drive us to the airport. As we had a few spare hours to kill as our scheduled flight was delayed, we asked to make several stops on the way including a stop to see the old city of Dubrovnik, some panoramic sites and to go shopping all before we ended in the airport. Dino was prompt a courteous the car was clean and sufficiently spacious (we were a group of 5 with plenty of luggage). Dino, who speaks fluent English, made an extra effort to provide information along the way and explain the sites even though all we ordered was an airport transfer.

Great afternoon of walking through olive and fog groves + vineyards with Rachael. I was the only person on the tour that day to travel slowdowns and so I received a personal tour from Rachael. Great tasting at two wineries and as you can see, I bought a bottle at each. (Although there was no pressure at all to do so.). Highly recommended.

Beautiful bike ride through olive groves and grapevines. End at 2 wineries with great wines and an even better view. Need to be comfortable on a bike. There are a few hills which you could always just walk up and it’s about a 7 mile ride.

I've had the pleasure of doing 2 tours with these guys: the Dubrovnik city tour and the day trip to Montenegro. I have done my share of tours over the years, and I can honestly say these have been the most informative, well thought, entertaining and fun of them all. It is rare to find people born and raised in the old town of Dubrovnik and it is even more difficult to find people with the knowledge, passion and professionalism that Ivo and Stjepan bring to the table. I could have spent a week listening to the history of both Dubrovnik, Montenegro, Yugoslavia, etc and to all the anecdotes, facts and personal experiences. Truly outstanding. Thanks again for two fabulous days!

Island explorer is a custom tour, focused on outdoor experiences and set up for your preferences. You tell us what you're interested in and we will set it up. You just have to choose the way(s) we're gonna get around and what kind of places you want to see, we take care of everything else. The tour starts with a talk, even before we meet. To put it simply, there is just so many things to do here on Korčula island that you'd have to stay for a month to cover only a fraction of it. Because of that, we will talk about what you want to do – whether it is hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, rock scrambling or climbing, caving... Or just wandering around the island, finding the coolest spots that only locals know about. It's all up to you – together will set up plan and just go on an adventure!

We took a walking historical tour of the old Town with the best guide ever, Nikola. He was intelligent and charming and able to bring the history of Dubrovnik to life for us. His family stories also illustrated modern life in Dubrovnik, which we found fascinating. Ask Andrea, who was great, for Nikola! You will not be disappointed.

Most often you will read that Korčula is the city of Marco Polo. It is true, but it is also so much more! Korčula’s records of time date back to the Neolithic period. Legend says that fairy-tale Korčula was home to the beautiful Greek mythology hero, Kerkyra. It is even said to be named after her. These days Korčula presents a connection to nature and beautiful beaches, amongst them is also the “Croatian Santorini”. It shows thousands of years of culture, history, and tradition. Hundreds of years old oil groves, vineyards, and fruit and vegetable productions assure you that you will eat good and local in Korčula. Memories of the great Croatian singer Oliver Dragojević, who was born in Korčula, keep lovely dalmatian music and atmosphere on every step. While enjoying a glass of wine, of course.

Inclusions: Pick-up and drop-off at your location in Dubrovnik City area, Van/car ride professional guide and driver, Boat ride to Korčula, Guided tour of Korčula, Wine tasting in traditional Pelješac wine cellars

Exclusions: Gratuities, Pickup outside of Dubrovnik City area, contact us on phone for any information

My one day tour of Montenegro has a very tight schedule. The tour starts from Dubrovnik driving south alongside Adriatic coast passing cities of Cavtat and Konavle region and soon cross the border to Montenegro (do not forget your passports). The tour is driving alongside the Kotor bay (Europe’s most southern fiord) stopping for a photo-stop in front of magical Perast – city of Seamen and 2 small islands with churches (St. George and Our Lady of the Rocks). Finally reach the city of Kotor, nested in the very bottom of Kotor bay surrounded by formidable verticals of neighboring mountains. After Kotor we drove through Vrmac tunnel to the outer coastal part with long beaches and open sea reaching Budva – one of the oldest cities in the whole Adriatic, with charming City Center, and marina for megayachts – today being top tourist destination for younger travelers with all the fun it offers. After Budva we started our return not going alongside Kotor Bay but crossing it by ferry, stopping along the way for photos and refreshments, crossing the border to Croatia and reaching Dubrovnik in the late evening hours.

We did the island cruise and booked directly down at the old port. We were told all details, the time of pickup and gave our phone number (as well as paying a deposit). Our driver Marco rang the night before to confirm time for the pick up at our hotel, he rang 10 minutes before pick up to confirm he was on his way. Picked up on time we were delivered to the boat, which was a little way up the river from the port of Gruz, we were very lucky that our group was small and very multicultural, just 10 of us and the informative captain (and driver) for day Marco. Plenty of room on the boat, a very large coolbox with plenty of drink (beers, wines, soft drinks and water), off we went to Lopud for our first stop, time for a cool drink at the sea front cafes and then a hike to one of the churches on this beatiful island. (be warned although the directions are plentiful and give the metres - they fail to say the walks are almost vertical in ascent). If you manage the hike/ climb the views are amazing. Onward we went on to Sipan, straight out of a picture postcard book, the dinky little port is so pituresque - our group didn't lunch on the boat, as we disembarked Marco took us to the captains house where we had a lush 6 course lunch - awesome! Off we then trotted to out last island, Kolocep, we had just 45 minutes there, a beautiful island where we just took coffee and enjoyed the views. On the final trip back to port we were rewarded by a gorgeous sunset, A great finale to a lovely day.
