What travelers are saying
Our tour guide was outstanding and knowledgeable! However, this tour completely missed the mark. It has too much driving and there were several stops we didn't enjoy. Ston is a town known for it's oysters. This should not be a morning stop for coffee. Only go to Ston in the afternoon and do oyster tasting. Korcula is gorgeous but a tour guide there is unneccesary. She was actually long winded. Wander the town, have lunch, or take an island tour (we wish we had more time). Lastly the winery was not a vineyard. While we enjoyed our wine and meeting the family, this was a small room with no views. We wanted a vineyard experience. It took hours to get back to Split. Do these places another way, preferably via boat.
