Really enjoyed it. Kotor and Budva are beautiful. Picked up from the hotel, the driver/guide was very good and knowledgeable, I forgot his name otherwise I would personally praise him. I would recommend the trip. The price of it I thought was fair. 2 hours in each of the above towns is just enough to have a quick look round and visit a few buildings.

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.

Tour was amazing, tour guide Andro who is also an owner of the tour company was fantastic. It was raining really bad during our tour he took us to a cafe to wait for rain to pass a bit and after he tried to fit everything in for us to have best experience. He was on time and was flexible with time because our cruise was a little late on time originally schedule for a tour. He made sure we were happy and wanted my kids and I to go places we wanted and answered all the questions we had plus had such a great knowledge of the history of the region. Made my girls and I fall in love with Montenegro thanks to Andro. I highly recommend this tour you will be highly satisfied! If I could give it 10 stars I would!

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.

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.

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!

Luckily we found Damir’s number in the information center who kindly picked up the phone on sunday morning and soon showed up and provided a tour of Dubrovnik.
