“Dubrovnik is over-rated and very, very expensive (even the tour guide told us so). There are so many other beautiful places in Croatia where you will receive a lot more for your money. Actually, I would say Dubrovnik is a tourist-trap. Also, please consider that to take the Walls tour you have to pay 40 euros more to have access to the Walls.”

“This was a FANTASTIC tour! Our guide was extremely passionate and knowledgeable. She had a great delivery of the information - kept it interesting and gave us plenty of information without it being overwhelming. It's a great introduction to Dubrovnik history if, like us, you are relatively uninformed. Take the tour - get educated & have a good time! relatively uninformed.”

“Alexandra- for the wall. was fantastic! Kept the tour moving! Great level of detail! Enjoyable time. Bruno? We had for the city and he did a fantastic time as well! 2 great tour guides! I would book again. My only downside is it was 2 separate tours with not much time to use the restroom and get back to the starting point! We had to hussle. And we didn’t review the details enough- more logistics based than operators! Very happy with our tours”

“Our tour guide Ivana was excellent! A local from Dubrovnik- she knew her material and related it to us in an easy to understand manner. Her history stories, local culture stories, and personal experiences were all spot on. I appreciate her taking the extra step in moving from shaded areas to shade to tell us the stories (heat in July is brutal), walking at a comfortable pace, and using Bluetooth earpieces to aid in hearing her over the loud and crowded streets of old town. Worthwhile tour - exactly what I was hoping for.”
Snorkel Dubrovnik’s Blue Cave and nearby caves, then relax at Šunj Beach with drinks included on a small boat tour from Old Town.
“Beautiful afternoon visiting the green and blue caves and the crew was terrific. The only bummer for us was going to the little town that didn’t have much going on but we made the most of it getting an iced coffee while we waited for the boat to leave again. We had just been to a bunch of islands so this wasn’t new for us.”
A small-group Old Town food tour in Dubrovnik with at least five tastings, wine pairings, and local history, walking through side streets.
“Dubrovnik was a cruise stop for us, so we only had a few hours and this tour was a great way to see the city, learn some of its history and eat LOTS of its food. Our guide Laura was amazing. She provided historical context to many of the sites we visited and the food stops were wonderful. We got to sample quite a few local delicacies, including some delicious Croatian wine. A member of our group lost his wallet on the bus ride from the cruise ship to the tour meeting point. Laura made a few phone calls and the wallet was recovered and brought to the ship. Absolutely…”

“Lovely little sunset cruise. It lasted about an hour and 20 minutes. We saw sites, caves and the ball drop, of course. It’s no frills (small wooden boat, no drinks or amenities) but that was fine with us. The boat only holds about 24 people max which was what we wanted.”
