Itinerary
Pass by: Your private driver will pick you up in front of your accommodation or preferred pick-up point.
Then, sit back and relax on the 1-hour journey to Ston as you travel along the scenic coastal road. Perched on the southern end of the Pelješac peninsula where waves lash the shoreline, the seaside town boasts beautiful views across to the Croatian islands. Enjoy free time in Ston, and stroll around its terracotta-roofed and bougainvillea-clad buildings to soak up the town’s charm. Use some free time to visit the city walls — the so-called Great Wall of Croatia — and the town’s old salt factory, or perhaps find a cafe and savor a Croatian coffee as rich as the views (all activities at your own expense).
Pass by: Meet back up with your driver and travel through wine regions and picturesque hamlets on the way to Orebić, a port town and gateway to the island of Korčula. Swap your mode of transport from your comfortable vehicle to motorboat, and travel across a stretch of the Adriatic Sea to reach the paradisal little island.
Spend around 2 hours exploring the island and enjoying the sites.
Later in the afternoon, cross back over the sea to mainland Croatia and travel onward to the small winemaking village of Potomje. Visit a local winery for a wine tasting, and sample some of Croatia’s famously light and fruity wine while learning about the region from your guide. The number of samples and varietals tasted will vary according to the winery you visit on the day. From Potomje, travel back to Dubrovnik, and finish the day with a drop-off at your hotel.

Traveler reviews
Day on the Road!
Great day spent roaming several sites! Finished with a nice sampling of wine! Filip was great!
Our driver Ivan was very...
Our driver Ivan was very knowledgeable and shared great information! Was a little disappointed that many things in Korcula were closed and that there was no guide to provide information there
Excellent trip
Our driver Ivan was amazing. He came on time and told us everything in detailed. Very good trip. Really worth visiting.
Perfect Private Tour including Multiple Stops
Our private tour could not have gone better! Our guide, Marin, was extremely knowledgeable and provided plenty of information about each of our stops on the tour. We felt we had plenty of time in Ston to see the town square and take pictures of the walls. We then moved on to Korcula, where we were picked up by a private water taxi which dropped us right in Korcula town. The day was then capped off with wine tasting and snacks at a local winery on the peninsula. Highly recommend this tour, it was one of our favorite days!
Great Destinations but poor information
We were picked up 15 minutes late which didn’t seem a problem at the time but after an hours drive then found we only had 40 minutes in Ston which barely gave us time to scramble up the first part of the wall! Enjoyed great views of the fort, wall & salt farm but would have been nice to have the time to visit these attractions properly together with the old town - the guide offered no useful information regarding the history of Ston. Wall tickets are 70K per person & includes entry to the fort if you have time!! Next stop Korcula a further hour on - the guide announced we would have 3 hrs here but that he would not be joining us! He put us on the 10 minute boat ride. I can’t say I missed his company but it would have been nice to here some history / information on Marco Polo? Lovely walled old town, friendly locals & tasty albeit pricey seafood lunch. 45 minute stop at a vin-yard on the way back- would have preferred extra time in Ston! Great destinations but don’t expect much input from the guide!
