What people are saying about Dubrovnik

What a fun and insightful tour! Getting to see the old city on foot while also learning about the amazing history of Dubrovnik was so worth it! If you can request a guide, go for Marin. He's a local and has some pretty cool Game of Thrones related stories in addition to his knowledge of the city!

Good overview of Old Town with stops at multiple locations and an informed but also amusing commentary about Dubrovnik’s history. Great trip to do early on in a stay to give you your bearings.

Davor was a great guide. His English is excellent, he knew a lot about Dubrovnik, has a sense of humour, made it interesting and did a great job. We really enjoyed our tour with him.

Branko was an enthusiastic and interesting guide. We enjoyed our time learning about the history of Croatia.

I had a fun time and Ivana and Vinny are very friendly and welcoming.
