Sadly, my wife wasn’t well enough for us to do the trip. The organisers I have to say tried very kindly to give us some more options. They didn’t have to do this as it was last minute that we cancelled. In the end, sadly we couldn’t do the kind options and they even gave us a 50% refund. I have to say this was a very kind gesture. It obviously shows that this company is not all about making the money and more about making experiences for people. I totally and honestly recommend any trips with this company. You won’t be Disappointed. A Big Thanks to Ina

The best experience we've had in Dubrovnik! The crew were so welcoming, friendly, helpful and informative throughout the whole trip. All three islands were beautiful and interesting in their own way and we had enough time to explore each of them, even snorkel on the last island! The food provided was also great. We would highly recommend this tour to everyone, it's a must do if you're visiting Dubrovnik.

Really enjoyed this trip. The ship was clean and very well kept. The crew were great. Really enjoyed the short walk up to the Chapel in Kolocep. The wine tour was informative and we got to sample local wine and learn ore about its production. The guide on the ship was really good. The food for a mass catered buffet was tasty. Although we chose meat fish or burger there were many people who came back with plates loaded of all options.....I saw one person who had even taken the veggie option too! That is not the fault of the trip....just some of the people on it! All in all one of the best sea/island trips we have been on
