This is the Mediterranean as it used to be, before the onslaught of mass tourism. Upon arrival at the pearl of the Isthmus of Dubrovnik, take an official guided tour of the city’s historic monuments.  Each corner of Dubrovnik is a unique experience, and the 90-minute tour is enough to visit attractions such as the monumental Pile Gate, located at the top of Stradun, Dubrovnik’s famous street of limestone, polished by years of footfall. Go to the Franciscan Monastery, where 30,000 volumes, 216 incunabula, and 1,500 valuable handwritten documents are stored in the library. The cloister is one of the most magnificent monuments in the city and houses the oldest pharmacy in Europe, dating back to 1317. A little further on, encounter the Renaissance splendor of Sponza Palace, notable for its portico and columns, and elaborate stone carvings. Today it is home to Croatia’s State Archives.  Your guided tour ends at St. Blaise Cathedral, dedicated to the city’s patron saint and protector.

Dubrovnik is beautiful. Hearing the stories behind the city was fabulous. The tour is a lovely introduction to the city taking you to the obvious and less obvious sights. In my case it was made even better by the guide Dubravka, who was fabulous. I was the only person on the tour but it still went ahead. I totally recommend this tour.

5 out of 5 stars

I really enjoyed the guide Luka. The boat trip was great and very lively. The cave swimming was exhilarating and well worth it. The only thing that I could have done without was the last stop at a island that was pretty much closed for the season. Other than that it was really fun.

5 out of 5 stars

My tour conducted by Anna from OceanAir Travel was exceptional. She was not only deeply knowledgeable about the old town but also about centuries of history and culture. She had a wonderful conversational style and I enjoyed the tour very much.
