We had a wonderful tour with Ivo! Because storms were predicted on our day, he contacted us to move our time up so that we would be able to get the full experience. He took us on a stunning drive to a panoramic view of the city, telling us stories and sharing history along the way. We ended our tour with a walk through Old Town, where he pointed out sites that we could return to on our own later. He was fun, interesting, and extremely knowledgeable, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. And he was right about the weather - after we returned to our apartment, there was a big storm! It was a lovely day!
It was a wonderful tour. Our best tour yet! We are on a cruise ship and found this tour better than anything the cruise had to offer.
The tour was in two aprts - adrive around the town and tour od the old town. The first part was my Mijo who was very knowledgeble and took s to nive viewing spots.. The second part was the tour of the old town and Nera was also very nice and showed us all the sights and explained the history. Overall a gerat tour.
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed both parts of the tour. It is wonderful that Miho guided you to beautiful viewing spots and shared his knowledge, and that Nera made the Old Town tour engaging and informative. We are thrilled you had a great experience overall.
From the very beginning, their punctuality was impeccable. The tour started with Miho in a comfortable and spacious van (with room for 8 people), perfect for enjoying a scenic route around Dubrovnik. He shared the history of the city and of Croatia with clarity and enthusiasm—from its time as part of Yugoslavia to the war and eventual independence. Later, Toni guided us through the Old Town, and the experience was just as excellent. Both of them are friendly, engaging, and know how to capture the attention of all ages (our group included teens aged 17 to 20). They shared local anecdotes that truly connect you to the place and make it even more fascinating. The tour was conducted in English, with perfect pronunciation and a deep command of the topics. On top of that, they gave us great recommendations for food, coffee, and places to keep exploring. Without a doubt, 100% recommended. They made our visit to Dubrovnik unforgettable.
We are thrilled that Miho and Toni made your Dubrovnik tour so memorable and engaging for your whole group. It is fantastic to hear that you enjoyed the history, local anecdotes, and helpful recommendations for food and exploring. Your kind words mean a lot, and we are delighted that your visit to Dubrovnik was unforgettable.
My son and I took the old town tour of Dubrovnik with ivo and Toni. They were knowledgeable and excellent tour guides!!!! Definitely recommend!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We are delighted to hear that you and your son enjoyed the Old Town tour of Dubrovnik with Ivo and Toni. They truly are knowledgeable and passionate guides, and your kind words will mean a lot to them. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 stars) Tour Company: Dubrovnik Wine Tours Tour: Srdj Hill Scenic Panorama Drive and Dubrovnik Old Town Private Tour Duration: 3 hours Guide: Miho A Tour That Transcends Typical Sightseeing This three-hour panoramic tour with Miho was far more than just stunning views and historical sites - it was a profoundly personal journey through recent history, brought to life by someone who lived it firsthand. As United States Marine Corps veterans, we found this experience particularly meaningful and emotionally impactful. Srdj Hill - Where History Comes Alive The panoramic views from Srdj Hill of Dubrovnik's Old Town and the Adriatic Sea are absolutely breathtaking, but what made this experience truly extraordinary was Miho's personal connection to the landscape before us. This wasn't just scenic tourism - it was living history. Miho shared the locations where both Napoleon's forces and the Croatian Army fought on these very hillsides. Seeing the memorials to fallen Croatian soldiers along the way was deeply moving, particularly as fellow veterans who understand the sacrifice these monuments represent. Personal Stories from a Veteran's Perspective What sets this tour apart from any other historical experience is Miho's ability to point to specific locations where he and his unit were stationed during the 1990s conflict when Serbian forces attempted to overrun Dubrovnik. Standing on the same ground where these battles took place, hearing firsthand accounts from someone who was there, created an emotional connection to the history that simply cannot be replicated through textbooks or typical tour narratives. The most emotional moment came when we viewed the countryside where the war was actually fought. Seeing these sites through the eyes of someone who defended this beautiful city added profound depth to our understanding of Croatia's recent struggle for independence. Dubrovnik Old Town - Living Heritage The Old Town portion showcased the remarkable resilience of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Walking through the ancient walls, narrow medieval streets, and visiting the cathedral, we gained appreciation for what was being defended during the recent conflict. The combination of shops and amazing restaurants within these historic walls demonstrates how this living city has maintained its character while rebuilding and thriving. A Tour for History Enthusiasts and Veterans This experience goes far beyond typical sightseeing. The combination of spectacular views, ancient history, and recent conflict brought to life by someone who lived through it creates an experience that's both educational and deeply moving. I give this tour five stars and strongly recommend it to fellow veterans, history enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to understand the full story of this remarkable city. The amazing views of Dubrovnik and the Adriatic Sea are just the beginning - the real value lies in understanding the courage and sacrifice that preserved this treasure for future generations.
Thank you sincerely for sharing such a powerful and beautifully written review , especially meaningful knowing that this is your first review before joining us for another two tours. We are truly grateful that you took the time to reflect on your experience in such depth. It means a great deal to Miho to guide fellow veterans, and your words deeply touched him. Sharing his personal memories from Srdj Hill and the 1990s conflict is never just storytelling, it is a part of his life, his city, and his history. Knowing that these moments resonated so strongly with you, and that you connected with the landscape and the stories through your own service and experience, is profoundly rewarding. We are glad that the panoramic views, the historic sites, and the Old Town’s living heritage offered not only beauty but also context and meaning. Your recognition of the courage and sacrifice behind Dubrovnik’s resilience is truly appreciated. Thank you again for your trust, for returning to tour with us, and for this thoughtful, five star review. It was an honor to guide you!
What a fabulous tour of Dubrovnik! My friend and I visited from Australia - I am Croatian and have been to Dubrovnik many times before. However, I wanted to give my friend a very memorable experience and Jakov and Stjepan were outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Both gentleman were lovely, professional, friendly and very very knowledgeable about their city. My friend and I highly recommend the private tour, it’s worth every penny and I’d be happy to take friends on this tour again when visiting Croatia. Hvala vam!
Riding this attractive cable car, according to many, belongs to the top 5 things you must do in Dubrovnik. From 405 m above sea level, there is a free view of Dubrovnik's old town and the island of Lokrum. Fascinating!
An excellent experience with a very good guide. It was a very comprehensive tour . We enjoyed the lovely panaramas.
Hi, Thank you for great review. From your review i do not see which date you went on a tour and who your guide was, but all our guides are doing a good job and we are glad to hear about it from you! We hope to see you again in Dubrovnik
Stjepan was a great guide. As a local, he had lots of interesting stories to tell and took us on the lesser used tourist trails whilst still making sure we saw all the big sights. The views from the viewpoint were fabulous.
Thanks for great review! As a local, born and raised in the Old Town of Dubrovnik Stjepan knows all of its ins and outs and needless to say, you are in good hands when Stjepan guides you around! All the best!
