Top Dalmatia Layover Tours

Mateo is so friendly and has great sense of humour. He is very attentive to his guests needs and requests. The oyster farm, lunch in Blagaj and the Dervish monastery were the highlights for me. This day has been the best of my 3 weeks in Europe. Highly recommend!

Mateo is so gracious and friendly. His car is very comfortable and he is a very safe and efficient driver. We made excellent time on the round trip and he was very flexible in timing so we could utilize our time how we wanted to. He’s given us terrific local tips for restaurants and local sights. If you’re doing a day trip to Split (or other activity) I highly recommend Mateo. He’s great with kids, and totally easy going.

Without a doubt the best way to travel from Dubrovnik to Split with a stop in Mostar. Our Guide explained the history and curiosities of the different locations we were traveling on our way and the trip in the minivan was very comfortable. We also enjoyed the best food of our whole trip in Croatia.

Picked up from our hotel, driven to the ferry port in an air-conditioned mini van, and then a short ferry crossing accompanied by the driver and car. Stipan our driver / tour guide was very knowledgeable and told us about places of interest throughout the whole day. It is a beautiful island with a lot to see. We were taken to the national park, which we had to pay an entrance fee for, but this was reduced as we had the Dubrovnik card. Lunch is not provided, but there are plenty of places to eat in the vicinity and you could take a packed lunch to leave in the car. We stopped at Ston on the way back to our hotel, a gorgeous little village with one huge wall! Would recommend this trip.

Mljet is a gem that is unspoilt and beautiful. Our guide was lovely and friendly. She explained the history of Mljet to us and was informative. This island is amazing and you must swim in the lake.

What a day! From the minute we began our excursion, my friend and I hit it off with Ante and during the drive, he shared historical information, personal stories, and specific asides he thought we’d find interesting based on details we’d shared. In addition, the sites visited are unique and the food is incredible - Homemade with love and in the old fashioned way we rarely experience anymore. This is the doorway to knowing Ante’s family a bit and I so appreciated being able to see their land and fields. A personal highlight was meeting the baby donkey who was just 3 days old! The price of the trip was more than I’d usually spend, but we decided to take a chance due to the other enthusiastic reviews, and it was worth every penny. This is a unique experience and the reviews, mine included, can’t really do it justice...see for yourself!

I had planned to visit Split, but Mateo recommended Mostar to me, so we went to Mostar and it was great. We will definitely call Mateo next time and organize another trip to Split because we didn't have time this time.

Mateo is an excellent driver and guide. I definitely recommend him. We went on three trips with him to Split, Mostar and Kotor, each one was special in its own way. Personally, Mostar was my favorite.

Found Private Tours Travel Agency on Cool Destinations as I wanted transportation from Dubrovnik to Split with a stopover in Medjugorie & Mostar. SO SO SO happy we met Ante and that we opted in for the home cooked meal experience. His mother's cooking is beyond amazing and was by far the BEST meal my mother and I had on our vacation (we are vegetarian). Ante's mother even packed a little goodie bag for us when we left and gave us a bottle of homemade wine! After the meal at his mother's home, he drove us to his family's old village, which is mostly abandoned now, and he gave us amazing commentary on the village, his family, the history of the place and how the war changed their lives. Learned so much from this tour.Highly recommend this service for people who need to get from Split to Dubrovnik or Dubrovnik to Split. It was a great use of time to stop by Mostar and also experience a true Bosnian style home cooked meal.Thank you Ante for an amazing experience and hospitality!

Mateo si an excellent driver and a great and fun person. He’s very friendly and always eager to help and give the best advice.

Mateo was a great driver. The car was comfortable, and he was very professional. I would highly recommend this tour. Split us a wonderful place to visit in Croatia. The old town is beautiful. The old port is beautiful.

We have amazing daytrp with Mateo in Mostar,waterfalls Kravice and wine tasting. Tnx one more time we will remember that long time and we hope in next two years repat again.

Mateo drove us around and had great experience and lots of good food. The sites and the restraunts he took us to were beyond fabulous. Thank you Mateo.

Mateo was an excellent tour guide! He put together 2 personalized tours for our group. The first was to Perast and Kotor Montenegro from Dubrovnik. The second was from Dubrovnik to Split, going through Mostar and hitting many other great sights along the way. A highlight was the lunches he arranged for us both days! In Mostar we sat over looking the bridge at Terace Legaro. The food was amazing and the view is incredible. He had the best table in the place reserved for us ahead of time. His tours are well thought out and well planned. He even sends pictures at the end of the day. He is friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I highly recommend!

Antonio our driver and tour guide was excellent - as a driver as well as a historian passionate about all things Croatia!

Mateo was simply the best, he not only ensured we get to see so many amazing places, but kept the journey very comfortable, taking us through some of the most scenic paths, and at same time, explaining about the salient aspects of the place. He is well informed and an amazing sense of the entire region (not a single time, saw him using Google maps). We used his service while transiting from Dubrovnik to Split and on the way took us through the Botanical garden, Ston, Blagaj, Mostar, Kravice waterfalls. Would strongly recommend Mateo to anyone looking for a private taxi operator to travel across Croatia!!
