Itinerary
Explore authentic mussel and oyster farms, where you’ll discover the art of shellfish cultivation. While sailing through crystal-clear waters, delight in a tasting of freshly opened oysters perfectly matched with fine local wines.
Ston is a charming small town on the Pelješac peninsula, famous for having the oldest active saltworks in the world, centuries-old mussel farming, excellent wines, and above all, its impressive 5.5 km-long city walls — the longest in Europe. We’ll take a stroll through Ston, with the possibility to stop and visit the historic salt factory or explore the Ston City Walls, the second longest defensive walls in the world after the Great Wall of China. Lunch is included at a local tavern, where you’ll enjoy fresh mussels and two types of traditional fish risotto — one with a rich red sauce, and the famous black risotto.

Really enjoyed this tour, and Dino was super, giving us a very personalised experience. Enjoyed seeing how the oysters are cultivated and lots of them to eat with nice wine. Ston is beautiful and lunch was one of the best of our trip to Dubrovnik. Loved that we could set the pace of the tour and still see so much. Thanks Dino.
Tour not as described. You visit the farm and just sit and eat oysters. Don't witness or see any activity. The salt factory is minimal with nothing to see. We did not go through the town at all and did not see the walls. You spend most of the time in the van just listening to your guide speak about the region. Not worth the money
Dear guest, I brought you to Ston, to winery and to the oyster farm as the tour is described. After salt factory I offered you a tour to the city walls and you declined. Ston is small town and we saw everything. You said that you are tired and that you want to go home. I also showed you Trsteno and that is not included. It is not okay from your part to do a tour, tell me that everything was perfect and you gave me tip...and then post such a bad review to harm my bussiness. After tour I drove all of you to different hotels as you wished. If you were tired and did not want to do lunch and walls then you should not go on tour. All my tours are 5 stars and this is really not fair from your part. You got more than 10 oysters per person and all the things described from tour.
This was a great day and tour. Dino was excellent and informative. All our stops he knew the history but also the local owners and servers. Dino was very animated and took a lot of interest in our visit and that we had a good day. The stop at the oyster farm was the highlight for me. Had freshly shucked oysters right there and the best I’ve ever had. Lunch with Mussels and risotto also excellent. He ducked into a few other places along the way that were very cool. Nothing rushed. Definitely go with Dino.
I went on a solo tour to Ston. I am really gastro/ food lover so this was perfect experience for me. Dino welcomed me and drove to the Ston. After panoramic view and perfect stories about history of Ston we went to try oysters. We also saw how they are catching oysters and everything was fresh from the sea. Oysters and wine- perfect combo. After all history and sightseeing we went to eat lunch at perfect restaurant. They have the best black risotto and buzara, the traditional dalmatian meal. I woul suggest this tour to everyone, this was perfect.
We are amazed by this tour and by our driver and guide Dino. He really made this special for us. He showed us all the beauties of Ston. Ston is small beautiful town with lot of nature, magnificent sea and delicious food. We enjoyed in wine, food, and oysters. Thank You Dino!
Dino was great! The oysters were fantastic. And get the black risotto! Would highly recommend this tour.
My friends and me decided to do this tour because we absolutely adore muscles and oysters. The farm of this perfect products is near the city of Dubrovnik. Our guide came to pick up us at the our apartment and drove us to the Ston in a luxury car. It was really comfortable and funny because our guide has a good sense of humor. He showed us every monument and place on the way to Ston. When we came to Ston we first went on a boat ,where we saw the whole process of farming oysters and muscles. It was so interesting because we felt like local people. The best part came when we went to restaurant. Oh my God, I could not decide what to eat. It was a bunch of perfect food and perfect wines. We are absolutely happy and satisfied with this tour because we really enjoyed. We had a good company, perfect food and drink, very good history knowledge and incredible presentation of daily life in Ston. We reccomend you this company and this tour.
Excellent food & tour!! I will definitely be back for another tour next summer! You will not regret this experience.
A pick up at the hotel, a drive to the boat then wine and fresh oysters straight from the sea. On to a family owned restaurant for black seafood risotto. Dino is extremely helpful and friendly - the perfect afternoon. Highly recommended.
Ston is not easy to access without car This trip totally worth of money Dino is so helpful and patient. Raw oysters directly from sea is so tasty and black risotto for lunch is must try item!
