What people are saying about Croatia

We were taken to some of the places which were recognisable from films or GOT and our guide had a large folder of stills to remind us of the scenes we were looking at. Our tour guide worked on GOT and had plenty of interesting stories based on his first hand experience. Apart from being a film buff he also knew his history of Dubrovnik and Croatia. You could easily see the sights without a guide but on this occasion the walking tour was well worth it.

Our guide, Patrick, made the not only informative but so much fun! He gave a detailed description of Slovenia which included the history, the sights and the people. We had ample time to explore each stop with suggestions of places to investigate and enjoy. Our group laughed all day and by the end of the day it felt light leaving old friends. I highly recommend this adventure with Patrick; you won't be dissappointed! Thank you for a great day!

This was a fun activity! We did this excursion with our children, even though they hadn't seen the show and we all had a great time! Davor, our guide was awesome and did a great job of showing us the sites, with some Game of Thrones flavor and he was very helpful in providing us with some recommendations of what we should see while in Dubrovnik and places to eat. We would recommend this tour.

The tour was very interesting and well structured and our guide Ivana made it event better and more interesting. She is very knowledgeable (she is also history teacher) and the time flew with her. Visiting the private basement where the one family use to practically live during the war and which is organized like a small museum is a special "touch" on this tour! Recommended!

It was a great experience for us. Our tour guide, which is Davor, very funny, fantastic tour guide and he take photos as well. Would definitely recommend for GOT fans.
