  We really liked our stop in Ston. Hana did a great job translating everything into 2 languages. We enjoyed the tour of the peninsula, the boat ride to Korcula and having 3 hours to explore Korcula Town. Our only complaint was we had asked for an English tour and we were added into a mainly Spanish tour so we had to wait and be patient as everything was explained in 2 languages! On the bus, this was no problem. But for the walking tour of Korcula my husband was getting bored and restless as everything took twice as long.
