Day 1: Dubrovnik

Location: Dubrovnik

Accommodation Name: Overnight: Dubrovnik - onboard

Meals Included: Dinner

Welcome! On arrival in Dubrovnik, there is an included transfer to Gruž Harbour for check in, which is open from 14:00 onwards. After some time to settle into your cabin, you will be transferred to the old walled city for a guided tour. Wander down the Stradun and see the historic walls and ramparts of the city. Take the cable car from the Old Town to Srđ Mountain to enjoy scenic views of the Walls and the Elaphiti Islands. After the tour, return to the ship for a welcome meet and greet cocktail reception and dinner on board.

Day 2: Ston

Location: Ston

Accommodation Name: Overnight: Ston - onboard

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Dubrovnik - Slano - Ston. Setting sail from Dubrovnik this morning, we cruise to the small village of Slano on the mainland. Enjoy the view as the ship cruises around the Dubrovnik city walls before continuing to one of the Elaphiti Islands for a swim stop. Arriving in Slano, we wander through this peaceful fishermen's village before continuing to Ston, a once fortified small village famous for its oysters. We'll explore the medieval ramparts and try some of the local oysters in a nearby village. Then it is back to the ship, with dinner included onboard.

Day 3: Mljet Island

Location: Mljet Island

Accommodation Name: Overnight: Pomena or Polaca - onboard

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Ston - Mljet - Polaca/Pomena. We head further north to the island of Mljet. Legend says the Greek hero Odysseus spent years on this island when he was captured by the nymph Calypso. Join the cruise manager for a stroll to the famous salt lakes in the Mljet National Park and enjoy the boat ride to St Mary Isle to visit an ancient Benedictine Monastery, an old abbey and a church which date back to the 12th century. Alternatively, you can rent kayaks, bicycles, scooters or convertible cars to roam around the National Park and island independently, but beware of the nymphs! There's plenty of free time before dinner and we overnight in the port of Pomena.

Day 4: Korcula

Location: Korcula

Accommodation Name: Overnight: Korcula - onboard

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Polaca/Pomena - Korcula. We depart early this morning to reach the island of Korcula, best known as the birthplace of the famed explorer Marco Polo. We’ll stop for lunch in one of the secluded bays en route. We enjoy a guided walking tour of this enchanting settlement, one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the Mediterranean. The fish bone street pattern in Korcula Old Town was designed to reduce the effects of wind and sun and provide citizens with sheltered and comfortable accommodation. Korcula has an abundant choice of restaurants at which to enjoy a gourmet experience, plus numerous bars and clubs for those looking for evening entertainment, so why not head out and explore in the evening? There is also an optional excursion to a small village near Korcula for a typical Dalmatian dinner (fee paid on arrival – approx. EUR 45-60pp) and to learn about the history and traditional way of living.

Day 5: Croatia Sailing

Location: Croatia Sailing

Accommodation Name: Overnight: Vis - onboard

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Korcula - Vis. We cruise to the island of Vis, once a strategic Naval Yugoslav Base and closed to the public until 1991. Due to this isolation, Vis has a special charm, “the Mediterranean as it once was” making it a really interesting place to visit. Vis town is situated on the northern side of the island, developed near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban centre in Croatia. You'll want to try some exquisite local wine in one of Vis’s traditional wineries. Other things to do with your free time include exploring the remains of the Roman Thermal Place, visiting the City Museum or simply taking a walk to enjoy the view of the beautiful Villae Rusticae situated along the waterfront.

Day 6: Hvar

Location: Hvar

Accommodation Name: Overnight: Hvar - onboard

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Vis - Hvar. Early in the morning, we cruise to the small island of Bisevo to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent waterlogged sea cave, which is illuminated in blue light (weather dependant and pay on arrival, approx. EUR 18pp). We then continue towards the jet-set island of Hvar with a swim stop and lunch on board at the Pakleni Islands. Hvar is the longest and sunniest island in the Adriatic and is known for its lavish lavender fields and breathtaking beauty. We'll enjoy a guided tour of the town, taking in highlights such as the Renaissance Cathedral with its original tower, and the oldest community theatre in Europe - founded in 1612. Hike up the zig-zag path to the town fort overlooking the harbour. Here you can take in lovely scenic views of the Pakleni Islands. This evening, enjoy some of Hvar's abundant hospitality options - there are numerous restaurants, bars and cafes open long into the night.

Day 7: Croatia Sailing

Accommodation Name: Overnight: Split - onboard

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Hvar - Bol - Split. Today is our final day of sailing and we depart to Brac, where a swimming stop is made at the most famous beach in Dalmatia – Zlatni Rat. Located near Bol, the shingle beach shifts from side to side as the wind and waves constantly change its shape. Bol is a typical fishermen’s village converted into a popular tourist destination.





We continue to Split, and on arrival enjoy a guided tour of the city, a historical town under UNESCO protection. One will find an abundance of Roman architecture, of special interest is the magnificent Diocletian Palace, once inhabited by the Roman Emperor.

Recently returned from Greece, a 5 day tour with OTG. Unfortunately, I had a negative experience on day 2 where I needed local support to get me out of a tricky situation. Thank you to Alexandra Z from Hetco Tours in Athens for helping me continue on with the trip, to the Hotel Zafolia staffing team and to Danielle and team here in the UK for supporting me with the aftermath. Your kindness will not be forgotten and I will pay it forward. I've now booked 3 trips with yourselves and will continue to go back. Thank you all. Honestly, I am SO grateful. Blessings to you all. Nicola

Wonderful experience

05-Jan-2023

Jamal is our tour guide. Right from the start, he created a group chat in whatsapp and if any issues to make sure we contact him. He was on the ball with every issue thrown at him. Luggage being left behind, stragglers wondered off in a different path, hotel room etc. He explains the various site along our route to give us a better understanding of the local cultures. We had a great time, thanks to Jamal.

Land of the Northern Lights 5 day tour of Iceland

10-Sep-2021

The Land of Northern Lights tour was a triumph! My tour of Southern Iceland was absolutely wonderful. The venues chosen, the timing allotted at each venue and the variety of things to experience was nearly perfect. Our guide, "Thor", was smart, amusing, full of history and anecdotal stories as well as being incredibly hospitable and helpful. This small group experience was my first, but not my last thanks to On the Go.

On The Go Tours Sri Lanka was an incredible experience that was made even better by our tour guide Akthar. He was incredibly knowledgeable about his country and he loved sharing it with us. The tour covers a wide range of activities so you can truly experience what Sri Lanka is all about. The beautiful 4-5 star hotels at the end of every day was an absolute bonus. Thanks for a great trip OTGT I’m sure this won’t be my last

King Tutankhamun 10 day tour of Egypt

16-Sep-2021

I have just returned from my tour with On The Go and it was an amazing trip! From arriving at the airport and meeting the OTG representative, everything was well organised and hassle free.  Our tour guide was Amir. He is awesome!! From the beginning he was so friendly and enthusiastic about showing us around Egypt, giving us loads of information at each place and time to explore ourselves. Learnt so much from him about this fascinating place, and he was always happy to answer more questions.   The trip itself was amazing. There's lots of travelling on this trip, but it's really not too bad, and the sights you see when you get to where you are going are worth it. I'm not a big fan of boats, but the Felluca ride across the Nile was pretty fun too.  On the first day I also did the optional tour of Cairo with Ahmed Helal - another excellent guide from OTG. It's worth doing this add on as you don't spend much time in Cairo, and you go to three very different places.  I'm so glad that I decided to do this trip. It was just ace.  If you're thinking about it too, you should probably just book it. And hopefully you get Amir as your guide.

26-Feb-2023

TOTALLY MOROCCO We booked a 9 day tour of Morocco visiting many main cities and places of interest. The coach was very comfortable and we felt safe with the driver Suliman. The guide was Hicham Touraouine and he was fantastic. He spoke perfect English as well as French, Arabic and Berber. He was so kind and considerate and made a good tour great. We particularly enjoyed ‘glamming in the Sahara Desert. So much to see and do and great food and company. We would definitely use On The Go Tours again, especially if Hicham was the guide.

09-May-2024

I would give this tour group no stars if possible. The tour was not guaranteed but they did not inform me when I booked and they did not have enough people. Way after I booked they said I needed a doctors letter because I was over 70. Also way after booking I was informed I needed travel insurance. They knew my age when I booked. They would not refund my tour even though it was 4 months away.

27-Dec-2023

Terrible tour of India. For some reason On the Go hadn't realised that my room mate had booked her own room for the first night of tour. So the hotel in Delhi had tried to put me in her room after midnight, by wheeling in an extra bed. She went Crazy!! I then had to sit in hotel reception for hours. While the tour guide said he couldn't find me a room. Throughout the tour the guide consistently ask me and my room mate for money for my room, causing more friction between us. Don't book with this company had the worst experience ever. Go with Intrepid or G Adventure

09-Aug-2023

I had used them once before and loved them. I decided to try them again for a Baltic tour not knowing that they put me on another Tour group- Baltic vision. Loved that tour but was not impressed they marked up the cost for me over 100%. I understand taking some for yourself because of paperwork, but over double the cost everyone else paid on the tour. Just double check before you book with them that you’re not over paying.
