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.

Ivo was a wonderful tour guide. We contacted him late at night the day before we wanted to do the tour and he was so helpful and accommodating. Ivo is an excellent tour guide with exceptional knowledge and interesting stories. We would recommend him to anyone wanting to do a tour in or around Dubrovnik.

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.

What about a day island-hopping in the most beautiful Dubrovnik archipelago? On our three-island cruise you’ll get the opportunity to visit, and sail, some of the most stunning islands in the whole of Croatia. Located a short boat-ride from the heart of the Old City of Dubrovnik the islands of Koločep, Šipan and Lopud are the three largest islands of the Elaphite archipelago. With unspoilt nature, golden sandy beaches and charming villages the islands are very much like taking a journey back in time. And it isn’t only the nature that will blow you away. All of the islands have their own rich history and historical sites. In fact, in the times of the Republic of Dubrovnik the nobility built their summer villas on these islands. Knowing that the peace and natural beauty was a pleasant change from the speed of the city. These villas are still evident today. Travel back in time and soak up the natural beauty with a three-island cruise in the Adriatic near Dubrovnik.

We were in Cavtat for a day tour about 3 years back when we saw an attractive hoarding of Supetar Island. When we inquired from the boat booking counter about visiting next day, they lied to us saying it's a very popular island and they are heavily booked for tomorrow. We booked two sets for next day at 11 AM. When we took the boat next day at 11, we were the only people in the boat. The boat dropped us at the island, 10 minute ride, and went back. To our great shock, we found there was nobody, not a single person on the island. The only restaurant was closed. It was scary with no means of communication. After an hour one old lady came and opened the restaurant. There was no beach and entire island was rocky. It was not possible to swim without getting slipped. The overall maintenance was quite poor. Within half an hour we requested the lady to call a boat to take us back. It was a bad experience. Avoid it...

10. Half-Day Cavtat and Konavle Private Tour with Traditional Meal

Deep Green Travel

You will not find it on the menus of Dubrovnik. At least not the real, homemade one. Because real “peka” requires the right infrastructure, it requires knowledge and it takes time. There is no time for such a thing in the restless Dubrovnik. Do you know where they have it? And where they really enjoy the preparation? In Konavle, an area just a few kilometres from Cavtat, where authentic nature, crystal clear rivers, and an exceptional gastronomic tradition write unforgettable stories. Veal, lamb, home-grown vegetables, home-made spirits and of course wines. If we combine them with a visit to the first settlement in this area of Epidaurus, today’s Cavtat, we have an ideal trip ahead of us. Let’s go together!

Inclusions: Alcoholic Beverages, Pick-up/drop-off at your location in Dubrovnik City area, Van/car ride, professional guide, and driver, Guided tour of Cavtat and Konavle, Lunch or Dinner, depending on the booked option

Exclusions: Gratuities, Pickup outside the city of Dubrovnik Area

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.
