Review of Gray Line’s Krka National Park tour from Split or Trogir, with Skradinski Buk, a river cruise, free time, and wine tasting.
“Easy to find right off the bat. Wonderful host that took us to our tour bus. Our guide, Dario, was helpful and provided lots of information. This made the tour very straight forward. Peter was our driver, felt safe on the smaller roads and he drove slower past a great view so we could snap a few pics! We did the wine tasting and it was a great add on. Would recommend this tour to friends!”
Review of the Krka National Park day trip from Split or Trogir, with Skradinski Buk, boat ride, swimming, Skradin, and local wine tasting.
“We were very happy with this tour. We had plenty of time to walk around the park, admire the nature's beauty, have a delicious lunch, and even go for a swim! This was really enjoyable experience, the nature is gorgeous. Our guide, Ernest, planned everything very well, we were able to beat the most crowded times and had a lot of flexibility to enjoy it in a very relaxed pace, while still somehow managing to make it on time. Along the way, Ernest was telling us about Croatia and not only things you can find online but also sharing his personal stories helping us understand the culture of this country.…”

I would have no hesitation recommending this tour.”
Review of the Dubrovnik to Ston and Korcula day trip, with medieval walls, oysters, boat travel, wine tasting, timing, and practical advice.
“Ston is amazing but very small so not as lot to do but well worth visiting for an hour or so. But Korcula is brilliant and we wish we had had more time to explore as it felt like by the time you had lunch, you were having to head back to the ferry.”
Explore Hvar’s wine country, lavender fields, old roads, and cellar tastings with local guides, olive oil, scenic stops, and practical booking tips.
“This was a lovely tour. Our guide, Dinko was very knowledgeable and told us a great amount about Hvar’s history, which was fascinating! Dinko also drove us to a couple of stops/sites before the winery, which was also great. The village the winery was located was beautiful - like a Little Venice! And the wines and food we tried were fantastic. The location was in a cellar and felt very rustic. We definitely recommend booking this. Thank you Dinko!”

Review of Dubrovnik’s half-day wine tour to Konavle and Cavtat, with family-made wines, local food, liqueurs, transport, and practical tips.
“Absolutely amazing. I definitely recommend this experience. The wine, the food, the kindness and humor, it was all fantastic. We were served way more wine than I expected and some other liquors also made in the winery. In fact, everything (food and all) was made in the place. Just lovely!”
Explore Korcula by buggy, stop for a swim, hear island stories, and enjoy homemade Croatian food, wine, and liqueurs with local hosts.
“THIS IS IT! If you do anything on Korcula do this buggy tour. There are other buggy tours on the island but this is the tour to do! The couple who run this business are amazing and provide an exceptional experience. We saw so much of the island we otherwise would not have. After zipping around they invited us in to their home to enjoy a beautiful spread with wine they make themselves. Scrumptious snacks and fun in the sun! Thank you for a wonderful day Korcula Buggy Official! Pro tip we learned after the fact is to book directly with them for cash pricing ❤️”
Ride Dubrovnik’s Konavle countryside by e-bike, visit historic mills and Pridvorje, then enjoy local food and Croatian wine.
“Mislav was an amazing tour guide! We originally planned to bike on a Friday but rain was predicted so the company reached out to reschedule (and luckily we were able to) and I'm so glad we were able to go. The e-bikes were in great condition and easy to use. The tour was outside of Old Town (pick-up was included and easy) so it was great to see more parts of Dubrovnik like the new bridge and a river that leads to the sea. There were some hills so the e-bike was needed to help give me a little burst. Mislav was personable and a wonderful companion on our journey.…”
