Key details
Highlights
Enjoy a relaxing 3-hour ride along the Southern Dalmatian coastline. For maximum comfort, you'll ride in small to medium groups with a brand new van or minibus: AC and Wi-Fi are included. Croatian coastline is spectacular, so you'll have lots of opportunities to take pictures and enjoy views along the way. Your trip will fly by in no time because you'll take in so many sights.
Discover the city’s numerous attractions, such as the medieval defensive walls, the main street Stradun, and the old town. Although the city’s history dates back to the 7th century, the architecture remains in a way that makes you feel like you went back in time.
The gastronomy of the region complements its culture, so don't skip out on trying some of its specialties. Ston is a small town that is known for sea salt farming but mostly for extraordinary oysters and mussels, they are recommended for a starter. Lamb or veal traditionally cooked in an iron bell, or the finest fresh Adriatic fish, are excellent choices for an entrée. With good local wines, you've got a feast.

MEETUP & DEPARTURE
07:45h - 08:00hMeet up and departure is early in the morning so we can avoid crowds. Make sure you arrive at the meeting spot at least 15 min earlier as a courtesy to other passengers. We will check that everyone arrived, show your seats, and give you a small brief on trip details. Before we leave we will double check if everyone has their passports or IDs (EU citizens) since we have to go through the Neum corridor. The southern part of Croatia is split by Bosnia and Herzegovina so we need to make a short border cross. The Croatian government is in the final stages of building a bridge from the Croatian coast to the peninsula Peljesac that will solve the border problem but until then we need to pass the border to get to Dubrovnik.

ARRIVAL AND GUIDED SIGHTSEEING
11:30h - 13:00hThe trip from Split to Dubrovnik lasts about 3 hours, and the first part of the route goes thru a new highway to avoid slow local roads along the coastline. Once we get off the highway a nice panoramic view opens up. First, you’ll witness rich fields and small lakes of the river Neretva delta. Make sure to have your cameras ready!Learn more
Once we arrive in Dubrovnik, you’ll be greeted by your professional guide. The guided tour will last for one hour and a half, during which you will be shown the main sites of the city. The Pile Gate, the entrance to the old town's main promenade street, is the starting point of the tour. Stradun is the street name, and it is probably one of the most distinctive spots of the city. The next stop is Franciscan Monastery, again one of the most important spots in the city. A short distance further away is the Sponza Palace, which stands out for its columns and exquisite stone carvings. Nowadays it's used as the State Archive. The tour concludes with a visit to Dubrovnik’s Cathedral, which used to be a church but was destroyed by the Great Earthquake in 1667. -

Do you have to go through Bosnia to get to Dubrovnik?
