“it was awesome with only being 8 of us, however my negative was because Mr D (couldn't pronounce or spell name) is a smoker the van had that smell which affected my allergies”
Travel from Dubrovnik into Montenegro by air-conditioned vehicle, stopping in Perast and Kotor, with Budva added on the small-group option. Expect a long scenic day, free time rather than guided sightseeing, border delays, and an optional €10 boat ride to Our Lady of the Rocks.
“For £250 it was way over priced. The driver had verbal diarrhea but didn't act as a guide...so we were left to discover everything for ourselves. His food recommendation was terrible.”
Travel from Dubrovnik into Bosnia and Herzegovina with guides such as Matija or Mirta. See Mostar’s Old Bridge with a local guide, then enjoy free time for ćevapi, shopping, and sightseeing before relaxing at Kravica Waterfalls. Expect a full 12-hour day with border checks and a long scenic drive.
“What a wonderful tour- they did an excellent job. Great value. The tour guide and driver Did an amazing job!”
Spend about 11 hours crossing from Dubrovnik into Bosnia and Herzegovina, with free time in Medjugorje and Mostar plus a stop in Pocitelj. English-speaking guides such as Adnan, Milos, Bo, and Dejan have led departures, though group size and vehicle comfort can vary.
“It was a great experience. As a Roman Catholic, I highly recommend this tour. When I reached the top of the hill and prayed in front of the Cross, emotions came over me. But I wasn't the only one, the 2 other gentlemen in the group said they felt the same way. I was in a small group of 8 very nice people from different countries. And the tour guide, Milos was wonderful! He's very nice and accomodating.”
Spend eight hours sailing from Dubrovnik to Koločep, Šipan, and Lopud with an English-speaking guide, lunch, and unlimited wine, juice, and water. You will have time for island walks and swimming, plus a long stop at Lopud and its sandy Šunj Beach. Guides may include Milos, Ivica, Emil, or other crew members.
“I loved it with my friends it was wonderful! We really enjoyed it! The helper and the crew were really nice!”
Travel from Dubrovnik into Montenegro with a private English-speaking driver, stopping in Perast, Kotor, and Budva. You can take a €10 boat to Our Lady of the Rocks, adjust the pace, and enjoy a ferry ride across the Bay of Kotor on the return.
“Scenery was beautiful. Unfortunately from the moment we passed the border our driver started a sales pitch on spending more time in Kotor and skipping Budva. He had something about getting back on time which I am not clear why as it was a private tour. He had a lot of information to share but wasn’t a very good listener. I can’t in good faith say I would confidently recommend this tour to a friend.”
Set out from Dubrovnik’s Port of Gruž at 10:15 am for a relaxed boat day around the Elaphiti Islands. You’ll get three hours on Lopud, short visits to Šipan and Koločep, multilingual commentary, drinks, WiFi, and a return by late afternoon.
“This felt less like a tour and more like a ferry service with drinks included, although they didn't even provide cold water. The staff provided very limited commentary and were mainly there to provide food and drinks. Unfortunately due to the free wine, many of the guest were drunk by the end of the day and painful to be around. We would not recommend paying for the lunch provided and suggest supporting a local bakery. The islands were beautiful but wish there was an alternative way to visit them, given the public ferry timetables were limited.”
Leave Dubrovnik early for Bosnia and Herzegovina, where a local guide leads you through Mostar’s Ottoman old town and across its famous bridge. Then visit Kravice Waterfalls before returning by comfortable minibus. Expect a full day, border checks, and extra fees for the falls and tourist tax.
“very professional- bus was on time every stop and the staff were helpful and communicative. Mostar is well worth the trip.”
A coast, a castle, a cellar or a cave.
