“Tom” was our guide. He was SOOOO informative and easy to hear and follow with the history of Dubrovnik. He took us to some great spots for photo opportunities and helped us take the photos as well. You can tell he loves his country and was so happy to share things with us about it.

Itinerary
Our first stop offers you a stunning viewpoint overlooking the Ombla River, a vital water source for Dubrovnik and part of the Natura 2000 protected landscape. Regarded as the world's shortest river, its crystal-clear waters maintain a constant temperature of 10°C (50°F). The shores are lined with historic summer residences and chapels of Dubrovnik's ancient rulers, offering both natural beauty and a glimpse into the city’s rich heritage.
Explore the iconic Dubrovnik Bridge, a modern engineering marvel completed in 2002. Spanning 518 meters and rising 55 meters above the Ombla River Bay, the bridge connects both shores with elegance and functionality. From its vantage point, you can enjoy stunning panoramic views of the Gruž port, the Lapad Peninsula and Babin Kuk. Beyond its practical purpose, the bridge has become a favorite spot for bungee jumping and offers breathtaking vistas of Dubrovnik’s vibrant new district, making it a must-visit landmark.
This exclusive private tour stop takes you to the source of the Ombla River, one of the shortest rivers in the world and Dubrovnik’s main water supply. Explore the remains of a 1900s pasta factory, once powered by the river’s natural flow, and learn about the area’s industrial past. Your guide will share fascinating history and help you capture scenic photos. End the visit with a sip of fresh spring water from a historic 1438 fountain.
Pause at a picturesque viewpoint that offers sweeping views of the Elafiti Islands, the Dr. Franjo Tuđman Bridge, Gruž Bay, and the charming neighborhoods of Lapad and Babin Kuk.
At the ruins of an old Napoleon garrison near Bosanka Village, capture postcard-perfect views of Dubrovnik’s Old Town with its red-tiled roofs and city walls. From this vantage point, admire a stunning panorama of the Old Town, Lokrum Island, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s hills, Cavtat, and the open sea, while your guide shares insights into Dubrovnik’s rich history.
Rising 412 meters above Dubrovnik, Mount Srđ offers spectacular views of the Old Town, modern Dubrovnik, Lokrum, Cavtat, and even three countries. See Fort Imperial, a Napoleonic-era fortress, and admire the mountain range that forms the natural border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, while your guide reveals the site’s rich history and geography.
This option is available exclusively with the private tour. Enjoy free time to explore the historic Old Town at your own pace for up to 3 hours. The exact duration can be arranged with your driver. After agreeing on the needed time, the driver will wait for you at the agreed pick up point and return you to your desired location.

Tour guide was waiting for us! Tom is professional and eager to assist. We felt very blessed to have him as our guide on our first visit to Dubrovnik. My friend has.recentky broken her foot and was using a boot and wheelchair to get around. Our guide made sure to guide us so we could complete our tour safely and stress free. We are super happy with the experience. We highly recommend this tour. You will have a very special experience and really get to learn about a beautiful place with a rich history!
5, Robert was a fantastic guide. Charming personality & very respectful. The environment was safe and he was very knowledgeable!!!
Tom met us at the bus terminal right outside the cruise port, and we had a wonderful day. He drove us around to see all of the highlights of Dobrovnik, was filled with information on the beautiful city, got out of the car to escort us to the various sites and took a ton of pictures of my family. Would definitely recommend!
Our tour guide/driver was excellent and very knowledgeable. He guided us with very detailed historical information. He was also very flexible and pleasant to talk to. We were very lucky to have him for our tour.
Tom’s knowledge of history and current events was amazing and enlightening. His friendly attitude and integrity were very much appreciated. He was very accommodating to our schedule. We highly recommend this tour and tour guide!
You get to see everything in 2 hours. Tom was a great guide and so informative on the history, old and new. He let's you off at the old city and returns later to take you to the boat whenever are ready.
Our guide “Tom” was perhaps the best, most well informed guide that we have ever had. Very courteous, on time and very knowledgeable! We saw and learned more about Dubrovnik than we ever could have learned or experienced with a hop on- hop off tour. We can’t say enough about our guide and the experience that he provided us! 5/5 without a doubt!!!!
A little mix-up with pickup spot, but was okay. My guide Tom was very good. Knew his facts. Was solicitous of my comfort and walking ability. Tour went longer than expected. Thoroughly recommend this guide. I only tip if the service was good. On this occasion it was very good.
“Tom” was very friendly and informative. Enjoyed chatting with him about life in his country. Great tour that includes free time to explore old town and have a ride back to the port at the end of a long day.
Tom was a great guide, very informative, we learned a lot. We had a great day in Dubrovnik and would recommend this service.
We had a great time with Tom on this tour! He was very informative and took his time with all our questions. He not only showed us sights and explained Dubrovnik‘a interesting history but he also share about his private life and gave a glimpse of his family history. At the end of the tour he dropped part of our group in Old Town and then came and took us back to the port later - at no extra charge! It was a fantastic tour and we highly recommend Tom and his tour!!
Tom was an amazing guide. He had knowledge, humour and a great command of English. Clean vehicle and good road sense. Would recommend highly.
Robert took us on an amazing tour of Dobrovnic . He was very friendly and informative. We went to places outside the normal tour.
Amazing experience in Dubrovnik, city is combining historic places and fascinating coast, the tour guide MR. Robert was very supportive, friendly.
We had a great experience, a great tour of Dubrovnik, many stops and Tom was so kind to take photos of us, explain history facts of the place . We enjoyed the trip very much and I can highly recommend this company and Tom. We will be happy to come again to Croatia, a beautiful country.
Tom met us at the dock and spoke excellent English and a good attitude. Picked us up in a clean VW van with much needed air conditioning since it was hot outside. He hit the spots on his tour and took photos for us while giving some history lessons. The tour was about 2hrs long and cost 50E each. Maybe I could have haggled down for less but figured this was fair for a private tour.
Three hour adventure with Tom was amazing. He went beyond the call of duty to make sure I was safe on because I am afraid of heights. Tom was very pleasant, very clear and gave a great tour of his hometown.
We had a private anniversary tour with this company and I must admit that we had a blast. The driver Marco was pleasant and he shared so much about the city and heritage, we highly recommend this tour 😃
The tour was one pf the Best ones in my life, Marco was a well educated and knowlegable driver, he showed us around the Best places in Dubrovnik, highly reccomend this tour to all!
Very knowledgeable and fun driver, he took us on a beautiful panoramic sightseeing tour of the best places in Dubrovnik, i would highly recommend this company to anyone coming to Dubrovnik and wanting for and adventure!
Tom was very knowledgeable about the area and shared lots of information with us regarding history etc. He dropped us off at old town and we agreed on a time to pick us back up and he was there at the agreed time. The tour he gave us was excellent. Would certainly highly recommend the gentleman to show you around Dubrovnik.
Tom was a fantastic guide; he was very knowledgeable and generous with his time. He even took a lot of pictures of us. I thoroughly recommend him! 👍👍👍👍
Tom was a phenomenal guide! He had some issues with the air conditioning in his car but gave us 1.5 hours of free time in Old Town to make up for it (with transferring for free). The following driving tour was fantastic. He helped my mom who has some mobility issues getting in and out of the van and over uneven terrain. 100% would book again.
Excellent trip this morning with Tom, saw some beautiful views around Dubrovnik and was given lots of local information. Tom was very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. Would definitely recommend tis tour. Thanks John & Margaret
The worst possible experience - prepaid service was not provided. We booked a tour of Dubrovnik via GetYourGuide for our clients, with DTS as the service supplier. Despite many attempts, we could not get in contact information for the guide. DTS provided to GetYourGuide phone number, which doesn't exist. Finally, when we managed to talk to the guide (his name seems to be Tom), I was shocked by his rudeness. On the day of the tour, our client had a stomach problem and asked the guide to wait. However, the guide, whose service was paid for 3 hours, simply left after 35 minutes. When we tried to talk to him and asked him to return to the client, he was extremely rude and blamed our client, stating that he had his breakfast (the guide even took a photo of the client without client' permission!). This guide, Tom, then shouted at me and cut off his phone during our conversation. The main principle of the hospitality business – being friendly with the customer – is not familiar to this company. Avoid them if you don't want to spoil your tour.
Stunning Dubrovnik panoramic tour ,spectacular views, rich history, must-see sights. A memorable experience and historical tour.
Fab experience, Tom was very informative and looked after all.of us on our tour. Definitely worth a visit, thanks Tom you were great.
Tom was a fabulous driver. Excellent knowledge. Tom took us to places only the locals would know. The car was clean and in great good condition. Great pics and lovely memories. Highly recommended.
Tom was an excellent tour guide. He was very Conscientious and called us way before the tour was supposed to start to ask if it was OK if he could come half an hour later. Of course we said yes. He was very engaging and well-versed in everything having to do with DUBROVNIK as he was born and raised there. He took us to all kinds of panoramic views, with historical, cultural and social facts and stories. Very very interesting. He was very flexible and willing to go whatever we asked. He also sent me a list of recommendations for restaurants. I’m mobility limited so he was very helpful with me getting around and also finding places to take nice pictures. I highly recommend him and would call him again if I’m ever DUBROVNIK..
We had the best experience with our taxi driver Zijko he had great knowledge and took us to some beauitfull places Definitely the best way to see Dubrovnik by taxi Lively country lively people
Jecko was very friendly and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, and answered all our questions. We are recommending his services to our friends coming next month.
Zeljko provided a first class tour with lots of detail. We appreciated his informal inclusion of lots of personal experience of living and working in Croatia.This sets his tour above many we have experienced and can be highly recommended.
I recently used Zeljko’s taxi service in the Dubrovnik and from Dubrovnik to the airport. I was really satisfied by his professionalism and efficiency. Vehicle was clean and well maintained, making for a comfortable ride. We had a nice chat during the drive and it was not like rest of the “stare into ceiling” rides. I highly recommend his taxi service to anyone!
I really recommend it:) We got amazing tour with him. He introduced beautiful spots to us. I could see the most beautiful sunset scenery in this city thanks to him. And he took good pictures for us. That everything was so good and nice! We had a wonderful last night at Dubrovnik😊
We did a Sunset Tour with Jacob‘s Taxi. He was a best driver, best photographer, and a best local guide ever !! It was near 8pm, not much time left for the sun going down, and Jacob managed a big huury for us to take a good photo with a sunset. He took us 3 local spots for the sunset viewpoint, and all was amazing to look down the old town and the ocean. Also take us one more nightscape spot for us when we said this is our last day staying here. Everything was good and efficient! Thanks to Jacob, making us comfortable and cozy taking good photos! Recommend him with all my hearts. 혹시 이거 보는 한국인들 계시다면 스르지산 전망대 케이블카 보다 택시타고 제이콥씨 로컬 노을 스팟 투어 받아보기를 진쩌 추천드려요. 노을 시간 맞춰서 운전 빨리빨리해서 알아서 예쁜 곳으로 데려다주시고, 사진도 잘 찍어주시고! 유쾌하고 재밌으셔서 너무너무 행복한 시간 보냈습니다 ㅎㅎㅎ 지인들에게도 강추할 예정 .. 제이콥 씨 많이 버세요
Excellent company, I really recommend it, there are many companies for passenger transport in Dubrovnik, but DTS really stands out for its service and friendly approach. I used the airport transfer service and they delighted me.
I definitely recommend it, we made a reservation ,,DTS,, wine and oyster tasting tour on the Pelješac peninsula. We visited the town of Ston, an oyster farm where we tasted them taken directly from the sea, a wine tasting at the Miloš winery, and we also visited the salt museum. That was our best day on vacation in Dubrovnik. Željko, thank you for everything
Highly recomended. For iner city rides, and airport transfers i am always using Dubrovnik travel service. They are always on time, driver is profesional and car is clean and tidy.
We have just returned after a 4 day trip to beautiful Dubrovnik. We were lucky enough to meet Željko from Dubrovnik Travel Services on our first day, and he was so friendly and helpful we booked a tour with him to see as much as we could of Dubrovnik town. The tour was so worth it and such good value for money! We learned more about the town and country in 2 hours than we ever knew, with stunning views, plus Željko made sure to take photos for us at each beauty spot, to catalogue our experience. We would highly recommend 👌
During our stay we decided make a tour near Dubrovinik, DPT showed us several and unique interesting places. Hunting oysters was without doubt the highlights of these trip. Using there services you will have an excellent day. Alice and Frank / Brazil
Super Guide, Tom took us to the best places, told us the whole story of Dubrovnik, gave us many recommendations and treated us excellent He took the best pictures and we had an unreal time
Great view, lots of photos...Great guided tour with Robert. He explained all the sights and showed us everything
Tom took us as tour guide with a lot of charm and wit on a very interesting sightseeing tour up the local mountain Srđ. He told us a lot of interesting things about his city, the history and the surrounding area, answered all our questions and even took great souvenir photos for us. Equipped with many tips and recommendations he dropped us off at the end of the old town. We will definitely recommend Tom.
Great experience, accompanied by the excellent Guide Robert who accompanied us and explained the most beautiful places in Dubrovnik.
We had a great tour! Our driver has told us many stories, taken pictures of us in the most beautiful places and even treated our children to ice cream along the way.
Voznja je bila zanimljiva i poučna.. Naš vozač je bio Marko I ovim putem mu se zahvaljujemo na lijepo provedenom danu! Odveo nas je na pravi put😂👌
The guide is very kind. He has the ability to report the story in full detail, is entertaining and very friendly. Also, very patient when working with groups. Inspires a lot of confidence and is very respectful
O nosso guia foi fantástico, sem olhar ao tempo dispendido, fez connosco um tour pelos melhores spots e vistas dos arredores de Dubrovnik e ainda nos explicou muito sobre eles e sobre a história da cidade. Aconselhamos vivamente a todos os que queiram uma experiência fantástica.
