Unforgettable Island Escape: Korcula, Ston Walls & Wine from Dubrovnik

Nice trip out to see Korcula old town and Ston. Winery was nice and small but a little stingy with the sampling - introduced 6 kinds they make but reluctant to let you try more than 2. Which is a shame because I did buy the 2 I tried so they could've sold more to the group I was in if they'd let us try more. Pick up options when booking was a bit misleading. I typed in where I'm staying, Mlini and selected the hotel that came up which is next door to mine thinking this is where I'd be picked up from (this was a big factor in me booking this tour because no others showed pick up options from Mlini). The afternoon before my booking I received a message asking where I want to be picked up from and get told they don't pick up from Mlini. So it's too late to cancel for a full refund and ended up having to get a taxi to Dubrovnik to get picked up from there so I didn't lose out.

I'm not usually someone who writes reviews, but feel that we should share our experience. Our tour guide was very uninformative. He shared a lot about himself, but not so much about the history or sites. He was a questionable driver. A few of us did not feel safe during the journey (on phone while driving, taking hands steering wheel etc.). The tour is not as advertised. We expected the tour to be guided, and to be accompanied by the guide on the boat over to Korcula. We were dropped off at the boat and just picked up again. No recommendations or information about the island shared. The wine tasting was not as advertised, got three very small tastes of wine with minimal description and no liqueurs or anything else that was mentioned. No tour of winery given. We were very disappointed in the overall experience and feel this was largely down to the tour guide. We would recommend advertising the tour differently, and hiring a different tour guide.

Gorgeous blue sea, beautiful island, lots of free time, energetic guide. A surprisingly small boat to ride, not the "ship" advertised.

This was not a tour. We had a private car and driver take us to Ston (too early to do oysters) and then to ferry to get to Korcula. No guided tour at any time. On return trip, we stopped at wine tasting which was nice. Daniel was a great driver and provided information while driving. But not what expected.

The driver/guide clearly enjoys his work. He was engaging and offered insightful comments about Croatia. The experience at the winery was mixed. The staff member did not provide much information about the wines were were tasting; perhaps due to limited fluency in English. But glad it was included in the tour.

I was actually booked on the Elaphati Islands trip but it got cancelled due to the bad weather and I got asked by Supertours if I wanted to join this trip instead which was very nice. I’m so glad I did, it was a fantastic day from start to finish. I got picked up from my hotel where I joined 7 other people. The driver/tour guide was so knowledgeable, he told us some historical facts along the journey, he would know the answer to all your questions. The first stop was Ston where we wondered around, if you like your history and scenery you will enjoy. I chilled and stopped for a coffee and talked to an artist. Then back in the car after I think 1.5 to go to Korcula where we took the ferry. Korcula was really nice, right by the sea was which was lovely to watch and take photos. Again lots of wondering around taking in the scenery, there’s a bell tower you can explore, lots of history, I stopped for homemade pizza for lunch. The tour finished with a wine tasting which was so nice! I was then dropped back to my hotel. Thank you!

The reason we went with this tour is they said they could pick up from local hotel as per drop down menu but day before trip tried to change pick to Dubrovnik. After several exchanges through watsapp they finally agreed to original pick up point only to get on mini bus to find another couple with same problem. Please be aware this is not a guided tour. Some places of intrest are pointed out from mini bus but you are left to your own devices doesn't even come over on ferry to Korcula. One hour in Ston just to see small town ok but not enough time to explore city walls. Korcula is stunning with great views and plenty of places to eat and drink and a few inlets if you fancied a swim. Wine tasting was an hour with small tour at start and 3 wines to try at end. Finally if you get travel sick please beware driving in Croatia is like playing a game of Grand Theft Auto. Terrifing.

Quaint little towns, boat ride to Korcula was fun, small group is definitely the way to go, met a gentleman from Japan and a family from the Ivory Coast. Nothing like wine to get three different cultures in sync.

Wine tasting at a small winery was great-tried 8 different wines with great educational sharing. Disappointed in Ston -some information provided about Wall and Salt mine. In Korkula, the guide took us up to the main entrance and turned us lose for 3 hours-tour suggested more structure.

Nicely organized tour that combines some of the MUST-DO near Dubrovnik in 1-day (~11 hrs). First stop is in Ston for 1 hr (it will not be enough time to walk the walls, but you can walk around the village and make sure to try an oyster! the locals were very nice and opened an oyster for me to try at 10am). At Korčula, you are given 3 hrs to visit the town, which is sufficient to have lunch, do some sightseeing and relax by the beach. The final stop is the wine tasting, pleasant and the owners are open to letting you try more than what is covered by the agency. Anet was our tour guide, friendly, knowledgeable, and a local. I had motion sickness on the bus for the first half of the ride (the roads are generally pretty smooth but windy), and my tour guide was very nice to check up on me and we made a small pit stop. The other visitors were also very nice to ask about me. Highly recommend!
