Dubrovnik

Great tour and guide! Good timings and we had an extra stop with view to Mostar. Great advices for food. Marvelous day!

We really enjoyed this day, even thoigh it was long. We travelled fron cavtat so got picked up by the cab driver at 7am to take us to dubrovnik and meet the coach. The tour guide was very pleasant but it was difficult to hear what she was saying most of the time. The waterfalls at Kravice were amazing and we had plenty of time there...some people on the coach even went in for a swim. Mostar is an amazing town with the bridge being the highlight, and you could watch the bridge jumpers leaping off...if they had collected enough money. The souvenir shops are abundent, as are street beggars who mostly seem to be women with young children. We were also warned to be cautious of pickpockets in the town...would recommend trying cevapi...which are small sausages served with chips and a tomato sauce..vert tasty..

Our guide Kruno (apologies - spelling is probably wrong) was great. Despite the early start he was very cheerful and gave us lots of interesting facts and stories about the area we werae staying in as well as the places we passed on the wayt o Mostar. His knowledge was fantastic and his English was flawless so we learned a lot. The day was well structured and, travelling out of season, the border crossings were quiet so we got through them all very quickly and painlessly. It was a long drive but he made sure to break the trip up with rest stops and an additional stop off at the beautiful town of Pocitelj which was a bonus. Our tour group was quite small (only 6) so we were an easy group to please and Kluno was happy for us to take our time at each of the stops and explore as much as we wanted to. The waterfalls at Kravice were stunning and had it been ever so slightly warmer it would have been lovely to take a dip. Mostar was both beautiful and fascinating and was a tark reminder of how recent the war was and what a massive impact it had on the country. Our tour guide was able to really bring the history to life and give us a good sense of what life was like. We were lucky enough to be in Mostar over lunch and got to hear the call to prayer from the local mosques - it really made our trip. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone staying in Croatia.

We chose this trip as we were staying on Sipan Island and it was the most suitable one for getting the ferry to the port in time for pick up at 7:50. The guide was superb and all the information was fantastic. Mostar was brilliant to see and the local guide was very informative as well. The tour was slightly longer than usual due to high winds shutting the bridge and getting held up at one of the border crossings for a long time which meant we missed the last ferry to get back to the island, meaning we had to spend the night in Dubrovnik. (Not the tour operators fault at all but something to keep in mind if travelling from one of the islands. Despite the problem at the end i would recomend this tour as it was a great chance to see somewhere beautiful i wouldnt have thought to go to and buy some ridiculously cheap food and drinks (we got three bottles of liquer for a total of 5 euros in the market) Experience a different culture and learn a lot of information.
