Korcula/Sarajevo Explorer
Korcula/Sarajevo Explorer is a small company, run by the British couple Rachael & John (us!).
We moved to Korcula in the summer of 2010 after visiting and falling in love with the island during a three night stop as part of a backpacking trip around Europe several years ago. We decided Korcula Island was the perfect place to live and work in a field we could truly be passionate about.
Korcula Explorer has evolved over the years addressing the needs of travelers to the island. Today we specialize in wine tasting & food tasting tours as well as working with local people to offer a diverse range of activities. We also provide assistance arranging holiday accommodation in private apartments, rooms and houses, and transfers.
In 2017 we visited Sarajevo for the first time. Summer's are fantastic on Korcula, but we've been looking for a winter venture for a few years. Still relatively unknown, Sarajevo provides incredible conditions for skiing and snowboarding. Combined with our desire to show of this amazing city, we set up Sarajevo Explorer (www.sarajevoexplorer.com) which provides skiing & snowboarding holidays as well as winter breaks. Again working with local people to offer visitors a fantastic experience, we can arrange accommodation, ski passes, equipment rental as well an interesting range of tours in and around the city.
Using our own experiences, local knowledge and the accounts of other visitors to Korcula Island and also to Sarajevo, we are here to help you plan an unforgettable summer or winter holiday.

An enjoyable experience despite the heat. We cycled through some lovely countryside and John made sure that the pace suited everyone. He also coped magnificently with two punctures en route. The wine tastings lived up to expectations.
Hello Rosemary,
Thank so much for the lovely feedback and to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Thank you again for joining John and for everyone's patience whilst the punctures were sorted! By the photos you posted, you enjoyed the Half New Year Celebrations last night! I hope you enjoyed.
All the best, Rachael & John

My wife and I joined two tours in Korcula, Croatia with Rachael and John. One a guided walk through an old town called Znovo followed by an amazing dinner with Frank and his family. The second was a cycling and wine tasting tour which involved cycling from Korcula through the
Lumbarda countryside and stopping at two venues for wine tasting and snacks.
Both were well organised and most enjoyable. Sue and I can highly recommend both tours.
Thank you so much for booking & joining us on tours on Korcula Island. It was lovely to meet you and Sue and we are so pleased to read you enjoyed your experiences on the tours.
