5.00Unique experience to visit Ston meet with Oyster farmers. The oyster samples were pulled directly from the sea and served with the families home made wine on a small fishing boat. It was a quaint little town with lots of history. A great way to spend the afternoon away from the city crowds. On the way back we stopped at a local winery for a tasting and small snack. The driver was informative and very flexible; he tools on a stroll thru the town center with an option for lunch.
Great easy day trip option

5.00Had a great time with Miho. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating of our group's requests. The winery he took us to likewise had very knowledgeable staff (and good wine), and the oyster boat experience was once in a lifetime. Highly recommend.

5.00We enjoyed our trip to Ston with visit to oyster farm and wine tasting. Zeljko is an excellent guide and driver; very friendly and knowledgeable. We appreciate Mario taking us out on his small boat to harvest oysters to enjoy on the boat with his wine. Great fun! Then, onto a winery for our official wine tasting. Wonderful wines! We highly recommend this tour if you enjoy oysters and wine. It’s a sec drive from Dubrovnik. A unique experience. A big Thank You to Zelijko and Mario.

5.00We had a fantastic time with Miho from Doria Tours. We were picked up at our AirBNB in Dubrovnik and taken to an oyster farm in Peljesac where we met Mario, a local oyster farmer. He showed us how oysters had been farmed there for centuries and served us oysters straight out of the water with some local wine. We then had an amazing visit to a nearby winery, tasting several types of grappa and 6-7 great wines (red and white). The tour guide was very friendly and generous with his time and knowledge. Finally, we visited the city of Ston, encircled by the second longest wall in the world (2nd only to the great wall of China), before we were brought back to our place. Throughout the tour Miho was a pleasure to be with - sharing tons of information about Dubrovnik and Croatian history and society. He went out of his way to take care of us, even pulling one of his daughter's vests from his trunk when my daughter was cold. I would highly recommend this tour and guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
Brilliant tour and tour guide!

5.00I cant speak enough about how fun and great this tour was! We were picked up at our hotel, driven to Ston where we had the BEST oysters and experience. Direct from the source! Mario was so entertaining and Stefan was great in providing information as he drove us. The winery we went to didn't dissapoint either! Family owned and ran, very good wines. Highly recommend to anyone going to Dubrovnik to please book this, you won't be disappointed!! Such a unique experience ans Ston area is beautiful too!! It was my friend and I that went and we would do it again!!
Fun and informative local day trip.

5.00Our tour guide Ivo was excellent. He did a great job educating our family about the history of the area, how oysters are farmed and the local wine making process. He also recommended a very nice restaurant by the water in Ston (Seosko Domacinstvo Ficovic) that had great seafood and a reasonable price. I highly recommend this tour as a way to get away from the Old Town crowds for a day and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Peljesac Pennisula without having to sit in the car for too long or cross any borders. Mario took us on his boat and we had fresh oysters from the bay and great homemade wine. The visit to the winery was informative and the wines were of high quality. The visit to Ston and Mali Ston were fun as well. Overall I highly recommend this day trip.
Favorite Experience of our Trip!

5.00Ivan was wonderful, and felt like he was our friend showing us around rather than our tour guide. The oysters were delicious and such a cool experience, despite questionable weather Ivan made sure we had the full oyster experience without a hitch. The wine was some of the best from our trip. At the end Ivan wished we had told him our next stop was Korcula because he would have arranged for an easy transfer to make our day less hectic, but since we hadn’t, he called our hotel and arranged for them to meet us all at his car with our luggage, and then he took us to the ferry terminal. He even spotted us a couple euros to tip the porter from the hotel. Very much above and beyond, the entire experience once again made it feel like he was our friend showing us around his hometown, rather than a tour guide doing his job. Cannot recommend highly enough! 💜. It was the highlight of our 3 days in Dubrovnik!
Not to be missed tour with tour guide Ivo!!!

5.00This was a beautiful tour arranged for my small group in Dubrovnik! Ivo was the most wonderful guide to this beautiful country!!! His command of English, his good humor and knowledge of all things Croatian was incredible! Also, Mario, the oyster man, the young woman at our first winery (American husband with new daughter) and Mr. Vukas at his own winery were absolutely delightful! Ivo is a credit to this company! If we ever have the chance to return to this beautiful country or if we are ever asked for recommendations, we will HIGHLY recommend this company!!! We enjoyed two amazing wineries (one large and one small), oysters and homemade wine with Mario, the stunningly beautiful countryside, authentic Croatian food specialties (risottos and delicious desserts) and, most of all, the wonderful company of our most competent and interesting guide, Ivo! This is a tour not to be missed when visiting Croatia!

5.00Rain just stopped few minutes before we arrived to Ston, so we had eaten fresh oysters directly from the sea. Wine we tried later was too strong but presentation was interesting and cheese was delicious. Good job guys!
