Easy walk around the old town and finding out interesting facts. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful.
A great way hit get an insight to the old town. Elvis , our, guide was full of interesting facts about the city through the ages and to current times.
Sara was amazing! Very knowledgeable and engaging - we had a great time! Highly recommend to anyone, we learned a lot
Good walking tour with experienced and knowledgeable local guide - so he lives and breathes the community. Fun and informative
It was a really nice tour with lots of cool historical facts about the city - Kat was great! It wasn’t too long as well and going in the morning was nice to then have the rest of the day to go back and check out sites we passed by. This would be a good tour for people who don’t want to trek up and down the many stairs of Dubrovnik.
This was indeed a very informative walking tour .Just the right one I was looking for. Due to the low volume of bookings that day this turned out to be a private tour and Elvis was the most knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide anybody could have. It’s always the best experience when a local walks you through the history but also gives you a sense of how things have evolved. Elvis also recommended some other local spots and restaurants which I was able to explore during the rest of my stay in Dubrovnik. Highly recommend this tour!
An absolute must on your visit to Dubrovnik. Superb guide which brought the already vibrant city alive.
Elvis was an excellent tour guide! His personal knowledge of life in Dubrovnik as well as its history was impressive and added so much to the experience.
Customer Service reached out to me and said that even though I had to cancel after the 24 hour deadline, I will be refunded
By taking this tour and not doing the wall this time, we got a great overview of history and saw different parts of the town. Our guide was excellent.
