All day trips.

Filter by half-day or full-day. Every trip is private, with your own Mercedes and driver.

Border crossings and documents.

Croatia is in the EU and the Schengen Area; Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina are not. Trips to those countries cross an external border, so every traveller needs a valid travel document.

Stays in Croatia · EU

No border crossing.

Cavtat, Ston, Split, Korčula and Krka stay in Croatia, so there is no border check.

Who needs what: photo ID only, a national ID card or a passport.

  • No border control on the way
  • Easy to change or extend on the day
Crosses a border · non-EU

Bring a passport. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens may also cross with a national ID card.

Montenegro (Kotor) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (Mostar, Međugorje) are outside the EU, so the trip crosses an external Schengen border in both directions. Allow extra time at the border in summer.

Who needs what: bring a passport; EU, EEA and Swiss citizens may also cross with a national ID card. Other passports must be less than 10 years old and valid for 3 months after the trip. A single-entry Schengen visa will not let you back into Croatia. Children need their own document.
Border rules checked: November 2026.

  • Ahead of the crowdsEarly starts at the busiest sights.

Questions about day trips.

Do we need a local guide?
For Montenegro and Mostar we recommend booking a licensed local guide. Our drivers know the route well but are not guides. The guide is not included in the price and is charged separately; tell us and we arrange one for your date.
What’s included?
The trip includes the Mercedes luxury vehicle and an English-speaking driver at your disposal for the entire day. Fuel, tolls, parking and door-to-door pickup within the Dubrovnik area are included too. National Park entrance fees, museum tickets, meals and local guides are paid separately; on the Korčula trip the car ferry is included. We’ll list these extras clearly in your offer.
Do I need a passport?
For trips that leave Croatia, yes: Montenegro, Mostar and Kravice, and Mostar and Međugorje all cross a border. Bring a passport; EU, EEA and Swiss citizens may also cross with a national ID card. Trips within Croatia need only photo ID.
Does the car change with group size?
Up to 7 guests per vehicle: an E-Class for up to 3, a V-Class for up to 7. Larger groups travel in several vehicles. The booking covers the whole vehicle, not per person.
What if the weather is bad?
Day trips by car go ahead in almost any weather, but we’ll always advise if a particular trip is best moved (e.g. Krka in a downpour). You can reschedule freely up to 48 hours before, and we operate a flexible cancellation policy in extreme weather.
What are the best day trips from Dubrovnik?
Montenegro or Bosnia for a day trip?
Kotor and the bay are closer and on the coast; Mostar is further inland, with its old bridge and Ottoman old town. Both work in a day.
Is there a border check for Montenegro and Bosnia?
Yes. Both are outside the EU, so every passenger’s passport or national ID card (EU, EEA, Swiss) is checked, including children’s. In our drivers’ experience the wait is usually 10–40 minutes, longer on summer peak days.
