One reviewer noted, “Our driver was a great tour guide. He taught us many things along the way.”
Next, the journey continues to the Kravice Waterfalls, which are located in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina. This natural wonder is a highlight for lovers of scenic landscapes. The waterfalls cascade over limestone cliffs into inviting pools, surrounded by lush greenery. While admission to Kravice is not included in the tour price, the view and fresh air are free. Expect to spend about two hours here, enough time to wander along the trails, snap photos of the water plunging below, or simply enjoy the peaceful sounds of rushing water.
The return drive to Dubrovnik takes about two hours, giving you time to relax or review the day’s highlights. Many travelers rave about the comfortable transportation and the personalized approach — one reviewer summed it up, “He was very accommodating with our preferences of time spent in each location.”
