Miho was an amazing host! Incredible and adventurous day and I would highly recommend requesting Miho. We so enjoyed the day and had lots of laughs with Miho.
We had a fantastic day with Miho!! He was kind, funny, knowledgeable and served as an amazing guide for the day. Mario - the oyster man - was the highlight of our trip! You get to see a very small family winery and a larger, more boutique winery and we really enjoyed both. Highly recommend booking and requesting Miho, you will not regret it and it will be the best memory of your trip! Thank you Miho for a fabulous day
Absolutely amazing. Miho went above and beyond making us feel like family the whole time. Such great stories and explanations of everything along the way. We were never bored!. We shared so many laughs with the wineries owners as well and truly felt like it was something we could come do with our kids. Again one day.
My husband and I had a wonderful day with Miho visiting 3 wineries, learning all about Croatia and seeing the beautiful countryside. Everything about our experience felt very authentic and special and we were able to top off the day with fresh oysters from Ston. Miho was the best, he went above and beyond his duties to make sure our day was memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone searching for a day visiting wineries in Croatia.
My Neice and I had a very good experience with Miho. He was very personable and knowledgeable and added many interesting tidbits to the trip. He was very accommodating and timely and wanted to be sure our experience was a good one. Dafna and romy

I highly recommend this experience! I had an amazing time eating fresh oysters straight from the bay and enjoying wine with a beautiful view — and then again amongst the vineyards at another stunning spot.
