Great day in Dubrovnik!!!

Fantastic tour!!! Inna is an amazing guide and made sure that we had an amazing experience. We got to stop at the most beautiful and picturesque spots to take pictures while Inna gave us a detailed background of the history and culture of everything we got to see. It was a 5 hour tour that went by so quickly because we were having a great time! Inna made sure we saw everything and then gave fantastic recommendations for lunch or a snack during our free time. During the ride back to our cruise ship Inna provided more recommendations for fun and interesting things to do in our next port! We are so grateful we had Inna as our guide!!! She is deeply patriotic to Croatia and a world traveler who has been on guided tours herself - I think that is part of the reason why she was able to make our time in Dubrovnik so special! Thank you Inna!!!

I do not recommend Don't go

Could not join the tour due to poor joining instructions. We waited past the allocated joining time. So disappointing

Operator response

We regret to hear that you were unable to join the tour. According to port security, you attempted to look for a Viator sign in an unrelated location, while the correct pickup location and signage were clearly communicated to you by email in advance and were also available on the website at all times. Please note that in many ports, Viator works with hundreds of suppliers, and each supplier greets mutual customers with its own sign in order to avoid confusion. When booking future activities, we strongly recommend carefully following the pickup instructions provided and keeping your travel phone switched on and reachable, at least on the morning of the tour. Safe travels!

Disappointing

Disappointing. The first hour was spent in a people carrier, going across town to 2 high points to look at the scenery. Due to the heavy traffic - which is pretty much the norm in Dubrovnik - we only had a few minutes at each location. We were then supposed to have a guided tour of Dubrovnik. Unfortunately (for us) the other couple on our tour, whilst very pleasant, were quite elderly and mobility impaired. Dubrovnik was very crowded and the thought of trailing at a snail's pace through hot and crowded narrow streets was just not appealing. So we decided to skip that completely. The whole tour therefore turned out to be an expensive waste of money. This tour was advertised by Viator as ideal for cruise passengers, but since no real care is taken by Viator to ensure the people thrown together have similar mobility needs we would recomlmend finding your own way into Dubrovnik. Cruise ships run regular free shuttles. Once there, it is easy to arrange an individual or small group tour of the city at the local tourist office where there are lots of options available at far more reasonable prices.  

Operator response

We regret to hear about your disappointment, which appears to stem from an expectation of a private tour, as you mentioned to your guide upon arrival. When booking future activities through Viator, please note that all private tours are clearly labeled as “PRIVATE” directly in the title and cost at least three times more. Thank you for advertising the cruise ship shuttles. These can be booked directly through your cruise line. Safe travels.

Viator’s Best of Dubrovnik Tour

I would highly recommend this tour. It includes excellent opportunities to take photographs and learn about the history of Dubrovnik along with how it has adapted to increased tourism. Our guide, Paulo, was very knowledgeable, passionate about his country, and went out of his way to provide excellent opportunities to take photos, to learn about the history, and ask questions. He was very helpful when we stopped in the Old Town and gave us ample time to explore on our own along with giving us recommendations. The area is very beautiful and I would highly recommend visiting.

Great overview for a cruise stop!

We were picked up from the cruise port and unfortunately the other couple had to cancel so it was just us. Had several hours seeing g panoramic views and walking the old town area. Then we had free time in old town to go in some of the attractions and grab a bite to eat. Great historical information and very much enjoyed the tour as a cruise stop. Would very much like to return to Dubrovnik one day.
