Konavle Gastro Tour From Dubrovnik

Our driver to Konavle, Ivan, was absolutely unprofessional from start to finish. He was hurried and stressed when he arrived. Apparently the original driver cancelled at the last minute leaving Ivan to fill in. He complained about the traffic and said he would likely get a high fine for driving through Old Town Dubrovnik without the proper identification required. He double parked in a random lot, leaving us alone for 5-10 minutes to go get cash to pay for the evening's activities. He talked incessantly. He tried to talk us into a side trip the following day to Montenegro, changing his prices to try and sway us. At the vineyard he sat with us during the presentation and he helped himself to the wine as well as the food that the host had prepared for us. At the restaurant he sat with us again and he took it upon himself to order for us. I changed my order because I don't eat beef and he teased me about that. He even ordered our dessert. He joined in with our conversation with a couple at the next table. And when we finished our meals he ate our leftovers right off our plates. Suffice it to say, it was a weird and uncomfortable experience. Do not use this company.

Definitely worth going off the beaten path for this tour in Bosnia-Herzogovenia!! Fascinating visit to a honey producer, and a family-based winery. Very good food at the restaurant afterwards.

Ivo was a nice guide and driver. He was very talkative and told us about Dubrovnik and the area aswell. He was on time to pick us up and gave us enough time for dinner. It is a nice area and it was nice to taste 4 different Croatian wines while trying some dried meats and cheese. We went to see the mill and the clear water of the river in a very nice area. It was very relaxing to listen to the “cascades” of water. The meal by the river was good, a lovely setting and very tranquil. It seemed a popular restaurant for locals. They welcomed us with grapa and there was plenty of food. We could not finish it.
