The tour is a must when you visit Dubrovnik and if you are a GOT fan. Our guide took us through the various spots, the red keep, the Pile gate, the Jesuit Steps and even told us behind the scenes stories of various scenes during the tour. A very nice experience.

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.

Unforgettable experience. Pre instruction was well explained. Safe. You are always with the team and the instructor. You are given free time to snorkel in the cala with many fishes

Fantastic experience. Our guide, whose name I have unfortunately forgotten, was funny, personable and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

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