Island of Korcula Day Trip from Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Lying on a small peninsula on the island of the same name, surrounded by city walls and fortresses, Korcula is one of the most beautiful medieval cities on the Adriatic Coast. The town is also the supposed birthplace of Marco Polo, the famous explorer. Tour the charming streets and squares, with their Renaissance palaces and the magnificent St Mark Cathedral, named for the city's patron saint.

The island of Korcula undoubtedly holds a privileged position among the Croatian islands. Here, there are more legends, tales and monuments than anywhere else. Being stonemasons, shipbuilders and seafarers, the people of Korcula shared their gifts with the world, but they saved their best works for their own city.

A bus will carry you to Orebic, where a ferry takes you to the island. Experience the charming streets, beautiful churches and magnificent palaces in the island's city of the same name, which is also one of the best preserved medieval towns in the Mediterranean.  You'll also hear a little history of the town's famous son, Marco Polo, who many believe was born here. After sightseeing, enjoy free time to have lunch and even go swimming.

On the way back to Dubrovnik, indulge in excellent local wine at one of the well-known wine cellars on the Peljesac peninsula.

Excellent trip! Our guide, Ivana, was very pleasant and informative and made everyone feel welcome. Seats in the minivan were a bit small, but the ride was fine. Our driver was good.

Another interesting trip using both coach and bferry again with very informative and reliable guide. Plenty of time in Korcula and able enjoy an unhurried mael there. The weather was mixed but only heavy rain experienced while we were on the coach , so day not spoiled.

We found the day trip to Korcula to be very interesting. The bus ride to the ferry had some stunning views of the Adriatic coastline. That alone made the trip worthwhile. Also, the guide gave us lots of interesting information on the bus.The ferry ride over to the Island of Korcula was short but beautiful. Once on the island, we were given a short guided tour and told what and where to find different things to see and do. We chose to eat a wonderful lunch along the promenade overlooking the sea, gorgeous! Then we went swimming in the sea, very fun. We enjoyed the free time on the island. On the return trip, we stopped at a winery for a tasting of about 6 wines. It was a big winery and they had a quaint shop to buy wine and gifts. The return trip stopped at Ston but didn't have enough time to really climb the ancient wall, but was interesting to look at. Some toured the salt pans and factory._br/_ Then another ride along the beautiful coastline to Dubrovnik. Felt it was a very good value for the variety of things to do and the scenery alone!

Good tour with very knowledgeable tour guide. Korcula is a very beautiful town. On the way back, there are 2 stops, in a winery and in Ston. I believe the stop at the winery for wine tasting could be made more professional. It is just a stop to buy wines by a local producer without much explanations. Overall a good tour, as on all the tours I have done so far with Viator.

Relaxing day with a coastal drive, ferry transfer and a nice lunch overlooking the sea from a cool, shaded terrace.

Very enjoyable day with plenty of fre time in Korcula, Mountain roads terrifying at times but worth it to get to Orebic. Enjoyable stop off for a wine tasting on the return. Expensive for the trip but the norm in Croatia.

Review by: Patrik A	August 2011
Good trip as Korcula is great to see and it is nice stoping at a wine celler but limited guiding/similar so the trip becomes a easy transportation to due these things. But if you want to see Korcula and want to do it an easy way, this is the way to go.

Lovely day! The weather was PERFECT, the sights of the road stunning and Korcula is one of the most beautiful places i´ve ever been..._br/_ the visit to the winery was a great ending for this day! I truly recommend the wine Dingac! I regret having bought just 1 bottle....

We've been fortunate to have travelled widely. Korcula is truly a magical place and one of the very best and most beautiful places we've ever visited. The tour was great and as we have booked many Viator tours in the past, we will continue to do so, as they do not disappoint. Croatia is a "must-see" place for anyone who enjoys lovely people, good food and extraordinary sites!

I loved the Korcula Tour from Dubrovnik. Absolutely one of the best tours I have taken. Our tour guide was very gracious and knowlegable. She was also very friendly and our bus stopped at a few different sites to allow us to take pictures and enjoy the secenery.

A truly great day - the island of Korcula is well worth visiting

Review by: Silvia C, Germany	July 2010
Very good local guide.

Review by: Jeffrey N, United Kingdom	July 2010
A full day tour. Would have preferred to have been driven round to see a bit of the island, instead of being shown the wine cellar on the return journey - especially as the tourist is charged for this visit in the ticket. It is not a case of the visit being paid for by a percentage of the wine sales. Quite good, but not brilliant. Felt like a bit of a missed opportunity to give a good tour.

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	July 2010
Cannot comment. We missed this trip as the advertised time for a start was wrong and though we were 20 mins early, they had gone and not contacted us. Check the departure time when you are in Croatia

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	May 2010
Beautiful sights, fabulous winery tour and great Marco Polo history. What could have been better leave an hour earlier to allow more time on Korcula, have more commentary during bus tour, coordinate a more detailed tour of buildings highlighted during the walking tour.

Review by: Anne E, United Kingdom	September 2009
Well organized, punctual and comprehensive. We started the journey mid-morning at a beautiful spot, followed by comfortable short, informative tour and then had plenty of time for independent exploration of the island before our return journey. This time we spent on a winery visit. Thoroughly recommended and excellent value for money.
