Antonia was wonderful, guiding and answering questions. Thank you for a memorable experience in beautiful Dubrovnik!
Enis was a wonderful guide full of knowledge and interacted well with our group. She provided a great deal of history of Dubrovnik. The tour was well worth doing and I would highly recommend it
Dorothea was very energetic, funny and enjoyable! We learned history, old and new, as we walked through the Old City and saw the main sights.
Our guide Dorathea was lovely. Full of interesting information and enthusiasm. We enjoyed every minute and she gave us some good recommendations for our stay in Dubrovnik. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Dorotea was a brilliant guide - knowledgeable, funny, engaging interesting who brought the history of this beautiful location to life. I’d have no hesitation in recommending her and this tour to anyone , she was really passionate about the history of her country and Dubrovnik in particular (and it was great to meet a fellow Beatles fan and hope she makes it to Liverpool one day and I could show you round my city 😊)
Dorothea was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and told us the history of Dubrovnik. She was thoughtful and always kept us in the shade if possible which was very important as it was 36 degrees. Dorothea was engaging and had a good sense of humour. We were lucky as there was only our family of 4 on the tour so we were all able to hear and were entertained the whole 2 hours
Fantastic tour of the city that gave a fantastic history in an insightful and engaging way. Tour Guide was lovely and energetic. Definitely a must do and worth every penny.
We arrived early to a very crowded area, No one was present for our tour. Listening device would have been wonderful, very hard to hear the guide.
Beautiful city and views, great learning experience, history and art. Tour guide was ok, no headphones, extensive political history and end point was the wrong one. Not recommended!
Our guide Ivo first had a very good command of the English language, to the point of being funny and engaging. His ability to communicate the century’s of history involved with the walled city was impressive. I knew very little of Dubrovnik before we arrived so the tour was a blank canvas that has some colour now. Thanks for making our visit to Dubrovnik complete, cheers!!
Our tour guide was great. Clear instructions on where and when to meet and was there early to great us. Asked what our interests were and tailored the tour to us. He took his time explaining little things in the old town, answering our questions, and giving us recommendations of things to do after the tour. Very interesting way to get in depth information about an incredible city.
We had a walking tour through Dubrovnik old town with our guide who was very welcoming and informative. He talked through the history of Dubrovnik and answered our questions. Knowing very little about the history, this tour really helped us to understand the city and the history, definitely worth doing when you visit Dubrovnik!
Excellent tour with Ivo - a true local guide! We booked a private tour since we have a five year old daughter… It was the perfect choice for our family. Ivo was so patient with keeping the pace of our daughter, he repeated everything one of us may have missed, and answered every question our 11 year old son threw at him (and there were plenty of them!). He was also happy to snap pics at the best photo spots in the Old Town. Our timing in Dubrovnik was perfect - no crowds anywhere. We also used Ivo to take us back to the airport. Not only was he very prompt for pick up, he called ahead to arrange to pick us up early when he saw that traffic was backed up to make sure that we got to the airport in plenty of time. We feel like we made a friend in Ivo. We will definitely look him up when we return to Dubrovnik, and will refer all of our friends to him!
<p>Enjoyed this tour! We were lucky there was only the two of us. Our guide took us to all the important points and we were then able to decide what we would explore further.</p>
Not enough interesting facts, slow going and only 60% of what your free Dubrivnik tourist book gives you
Were traveling with Dorothea and it was just all great. Their English was very understandable for us (Germans), we got information about the city, Croatia in general and also about the people. After almost 2 hours we were totally satisfied and well informed. PS As the name of the tour suggests, it is about the history of Dubrovnic. Thank you Dorothea
Everything was great, beautiful city, the best walled city in the world, highly recommended!!! I would return with much more time.
