Absolutely fantastic tour - very knowledgeable and friendly. Picked up from the port in an ac min bus - very welcome, as it was extremely hot. Took us into the centre of the city, where the walking tour started.

It gave us a great taste of the old city - absolutely beautiful and fascinating. Our guide was really good.

After the walking tour, we went up to the top of the hill (where the cable car goes) - outstanding views! Then whisked along to see other beautiful parts of the area - including an old power station, destroyed in the 90’s war - it was in such a beautiful setting, with mini water falls.

All in all, I would greatly recommend this tour and the company.

Thank you Micheal and team!

Great two part tour. We enjoyed getting out of the town and seeing the sights and Old Town from above We would especially like to comment on Dorothea as an excellent guide-knowledgeable and flexible. Plus we had a private tour of just the two of us for both parts-lovely!

We ended up having a private tour as no one else had booked. Our tour guide Dorotea was very knowledgeable, genuine and kind. We spent about 1.5 hours walking around the old town and Dorotea made this as pleasant as possible by staying out of the sun. The tour then went to 4 beauty spots and gave the best views of Dubrovnik. The tour was well organised and is a good introduction to Dubrovnik.

The whole tour was wonderful! Our first guide, (Doro)Tea, was very knowledgeable and spoke with lots of passion. You could tell she loved her city/country and all of its history! She answered every question that was asked with lots of interesting information. She was engaging and very thoughtful of making sure her tour participants were in the shade so we could fully enjoy the experience.

Ivo was our tour guide for the driving tour. He was also incredibly knowledgeable of Dubrovnik/Croatian history! It was nice to get the perspective of somebody who grew up in the area. He showed us lots of gorgeous views and was able to answer everybody’s questions about the current state of Croatia, it’s bordering countries, the war, exports and imports, farming, and countless more topics with ease. He had a great sense of humor and was a wonderful driver.

Would definitely recommend this tour!

The walkthrough of the city was just enough detail and just long enough to get a good feel for things. The panoramic tour portion had some great spots and guides from each event were knowledgeable and helpful.

Thea and Ivo were great guides! Thea provided a lot of interesting history about Croatia and the old town. Ivo also had plenty of interesting history and took us to the best photo spots! Old town was packed but it was definitely worth visiting.
