What you can expect

City Explorer: Korcula Day Trip in Dubrovnik - Korcula_Main.jpg

On this captivating day trip, you’ll journey from Dubrovnik to the enchanting island of Korčula, often referred to as “Little Dubrovnik” due to its medieval charm and striking similarities to its larger counterpart. The island is known for its well-preserved old town, which is a walled city dating back to the 13th century. As you wander through the narrow, cobbled streets, you’ll be surrounded by stunning ancient architecture, including Venetian-style buildings, grand stone houses, and fortifications that transport you back in time.

During your visit, you’ll explore St. Mark’s Cathedral, a magnificent Gothic-Renaissance structure, renowned for its intricate stone carvings, stunning altarpiece, and impressive bell tower that offers panoramic views of the town and the surrounding Adriatic Sea. A visit to Marco Polo’s House is another highlight, where you can learn about the famous Venetian explorer’s life and his connection to Korčula, which is believed to be his birthplace.

After discovering the historic gems of the island, your local guide will provide personalized recommendations for lunch at one of Korčula’s local restaurants.

For an added touch to your day, you can request a personalized offer for a wine-tasting experience on the nearby Pelješac Peninsula, renowned for its exceptional wines.

“Romana was a great hostess for our first night in Dubrovnik! She took us to a few incredible spots and introduced us to some tasty + unique beverages. We loved the local feel of the tour. At each stop, Romana sprinkled a little bit ‘extra’ into the experience (correct pronunciation of challenging words, getting to know local pub owners/employees, historical tidbits not commonly discussed, etc). We highly recommend booking her for a private tour - it was so much fun!!”Wonderful experience

“The wine tasting and street food tour is a great experience, not just for the excellent wine and cheese to start, but also for the opportunity to sit and chat with a local, being able to ask any questions. The evening was fun, we learned quite a bit about Dubrovnik itself and its development of the tourist industry in the last few years. It wasn't just a dry lecture, it was a fun conversation where Romana was very open about different cultural aspects, giving advice on how to further plan the holiday and just general smalltalk. While the main streets are quite busy in the evening, the wine bar and the street food shop werent too crowded and still allowed for a decent conversation without having to shout to get over the noise. Overall would definitely recommend the tour to get a more personal view and experience in dubrovnik.”Local experience

Romana delivered on all requests made in the planning process. She knows Dubrovnik very well, having spent her entire life there. Here knowledge of Dubrovnik (and Croatia) was spot on. It was such a joy seeing and learning about all the hidden gems in Old Town. Highly recommend her. True local experience

“EXCELLENT TOUR! HIGHLY RECOMMANDABLE! Romana is a lovely and charming young tourist guide. I want to thank her for her excellent storytelling and for her effort to make the tour so special and magical by taking me to non-touristic and not so crowded hidden places. I was amazed and I will recommend this tour for sure! I also loved the visit of the authentic little shop with homemade sweets, spices and marmelades! In the end I felt like I made new friends in Dubrovnik and that's what it is all about.”Excellent experience

“Romana was very kind and accommodating our group, booking us on the same day. She is very knowledgeable, blending historical elements with recent bits of pop culture. Romana was so sweet and came up with different things to engage/distract our little ones (7 and 5 year olds). The carob muffins were tasty for both young and grown ups. Thanks again for being a great host!”Amazing kid friendly experience!

Romana picked us up and returned us to the ship on time. We spent a delightful day with her learning about history and culture. She is very knowledgable, energetic, and speaks good English. She shared her own stories with us and even introduced us to locals along the way. Our visit to the war museum and her comments helped us to better understand the conflict. Her driver was very safe and friendly. We had a few specific requests, and she accommodated us very well. As Romana taught us--Hvala, or thanks!Unforgettable experience

Romana was excellent as she customized our tour for 11 including small children. The tour included: pick up and drop off from our ship, beautiful panorama shots of Dubrovnik, historical facts including tour of sights where Game of Thrones was shot including photos of scenes! She took us through charming backstreets and great restaurant that only a local would know. Romana was patient and kind with our children and made sure we were all having a good time!Beautiful tour

“I cannot recommend Romana highly enough! She is the friendliest and loveliest tour guide we have ever had! It was such a wonderful tour being shown Dubrovnik from a local, she showed us hidden gems and gave us excellent advice from food recommendations to tourist information. She recommended excellent restaurants to eat at and took us to a local shop (which we would have never found by ourselves) where we had some local cuisine and coffee which was delicious, we even bought t-shirts from her fathers shop which was great value and a lovely reminder of our trip. This was the highlight of our trip and exceeded expectations. I highly recommend Romana’s tour as it made our stay in Dubrovnik so much more than the few tourist things you think of doing. Thank you Romana for a lovely day!”Amazing tour!
