George Summer 2022 We booked a Tour with Rachael at Korcula Explorer to visit a few wineries and experience the countryside. The process was very easy Rachael responded quickly and followed up with us along the was – absolutely fantastic service. We only had an afternoon getting off our cruise ship … we met our Driver/Guide Nikola in Old Town he was there early and the meeting location was easy to find.
Nikola took us across the island stopping in several villages and at scenic overlooks – the island is beautiful! Nikola gave us background about life in the island, his background and story along the way. Very personable and fun to be around!
We stopped at the Grosic Winery to sample their wine and olive oil, enjoyed a appetizer plate that was amazing (Tasting and appetizers were extra but not expensive) the owners were gracious hosts and share information about their multi generational winery, it’s operation, their products and about daily life. Was a fabulous experience and you felt like a guest in their home.
Our time on our excursion flew by … if you travel to Korcula make sure you don’t miss out. Thanks Rachael and Nikola for helping to create such a fun day!
Jane – Summer 2021 We had a wonderful time in Korcula! Nikola was absolutely fantastic. We would use your services and Nikola again without any hesitation!
