“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.”

“Fantastic trip. Excellent communication from the company as soon as I booked it and confirmed pick up time and location. Pick up was on time. The driver and main guide Luca was lovely and really knowledgeable. He kept us up to date about border crossings, times and destinations. It was a nice small group that consisted of 15 people. The transport had air con which helped on a really hot day!! The local guide we met at Perast, Dianna was also really nice and knowledgeable. The border crossing wasn’t long at all, despite the stories I’ve heard about times but Luca seemed to know the best approach. We had enough…”
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.”
Cross from Dubrovnik into Bosnia and Herzegovina for Kravice Falls and Mostar. Expect an air-conditioned vehicle, a guided Mostar walk, about three hours of free time, and a long day with border checks. Bring your passport or EU ID, plus cash in euros.
“Well organised day with enough time in each location”
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.”

“Our day trip was amazing . We were picked up from our accommodation on time .guide was lovely and informative . Explaining everything along the way .it's a long day though and waiting around at border. Only complaint would be the added expenses . Extra 3 euros per person for a tax and then 10 euros for the waterfalls. This should be included when you book .would have liked a lot more time at the waterfalls.
