This may have been the most amazing excursion I have ever been on. Our driver Goldie made it the best with all the info and truly became a friend. The oyster experience was a once in a lifetime event. Shucked on the boat and put on the table. Wine tasting in a small family venue with a home style welcoming. I hope to do this adventure again.

And excellent day out, visited the olive oil mill first, very interesting!!! Here you have a sample of food produced by the farmer. This was excellent, wine also included. The small town of Ston was also very interesting and the seafood platter at Mali Ston was also good. Well worth the money

Fantastic afternoon out exploring wineries and tasting some great wine at Marlais. The highlight of the trip was sampling oysters right out of Ston Bay.

Excellent trip. Superb bi-lingual guide and plenty of time to look around.

Wonderful day out. Terrific experience of traditional Croatia.
