Fantastic! - “What a wonderful & lovely tour! We have been on holiday all over the world, and I can safely say that one of the friendliest and most insightful tours I have ever had was the food and drink tour run by Rachel & John in Korcula. You couldn’t ask for a more knowledgeable and friendly guide than Rachel and the producers of the honey, gin, wine, liqueurs, olive oil & jams, that we met were the same. If you want a tour, whether you’re biking or driving, which sticks in your memory for the rest of your life, look no further. ”

Highly recommended - So pleased we were able to join this tour. Very well organised. We all had great fun, learnt a lot and tasted some lovely local food and drink directly from the producers. So much more than just a wine tasting tour although the wine was good!

Great time had by all - Very enjoyable food and wine tour. Small group, everyone friendly and we had a great laugh about all our holiday's experiences. Guests even attempted to learn our Yorkshire dialect! Would recommend the tour to everyone and was very well organised and run by our up-standing and erect (🤣) English host Rachel.

One of our absolute favorite memories from Korcula - We took this tour on the last night of our stay on Korcula and I can't think of a better way to have ended our time there. Rachael was our guide and she was phenomenal. She was so personable and fun and such a good facilitator. Her knowledge of the island's wines was very informative. All of the stops we made were filled with delicious treats and beverages. Our group of 8 really hit it off and there was so much laughing. We left each other that night exchanging contact information. As a side note, we needed to postpone our original booked tour a couple of days due to a medical issue with one of the individuals in our party and John and Rachael worked very hard to make sure that we were still able to enjoy a tour with them. Rachael also helped with information on seeking local medical care. And then at the end of our tour, another member of our party realized that they had left their bag of purchases from the local vendors on the van and the van was on its way to another city by that point. Rachael acted quickly and gathered each item that had been purchased earlier and had them hand delivered to our Airbnb so we would have them prior to our departure the following morning. Thank you Rachael and John for the absolute best time and for making a memory we will never forget!!

Fantastic Korcula tour - We had an incredible time during this tour. We tried local products, like honey, gin, wine and lots of local food. We learned about processes to make all of the above while being surrounded by great company and the beautiful scenery of Korcula’s countryside (with sea view of course).
Kudos to Korcula Explorer for thinking up such an amazing tour, that aside from the great products shows a great community, which is self sustainable and ready to support each other. The tour is a perfect combo of food, wine and amazing people. I could not recommend it more.
