An amazing experience, and a tour I would highly recommend. Our tour guide was incredibly friendly, and the fact this tour is only done in small groups, it gives you a more personal experience. It also means you are able to ask any questions you have and the tour guide is only happy to answer them. It was informative and fun, the tour guide keeps you involved, asking you questions as you go (have a guess how many…. / how old do you think….) to keep you involved. A lot better than just having somebody talk at you all throughout the tour. It is incredibly informative and I learnt so much from this tour. If you are debating between this tour or another, definitely take this one. You certainly won’t regret it.

Beautiful day on the water. As it was quite windy and the sea was rough we were glad our guide changed the itinerary to avoid trying to paddle over to and around Lokrum. We would have been exhausted. Instead we had a lovely sojourn at the cave beach, swam and snorkeled, dried out in the sunshine, and swam some more.

Great walk around the walled city with breathtaking views of the mountains and adriatic sea. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Dubrovnik's history, which is fascinating. Well worth the money

Our tour guides were fantastic! So interesting and funny, but still let us enjoy the peace and beauty of Dubrovnik

Great tour. Our guide Branco was so knowledgeable and very thorough. Would definitely recommend this tour.
