Not what we expected
The cable car ride to the top was the best part of the trip. Too much standing while our guide was talking.

Our tour guide in...
Our tour guide in Dubrovnik was quite knowledgeable and gave us a magnificent tour of a magical city. We appreciate her knowledge of all the historical sites. Thank you so much for giving us a tour that will always be memorable in our hearts.

I would not recommend this tour. The tour guide came shortly before the meeting time so it took a few minutes to check everyone in and get us all headphones and radios. Then the tour guide waited for someone who was late and there was tension. We started our walk almost 25 minutes late with a stressed guide. We walked to the cable car and waited again while the tour guide purchased tickets, something that should have been done ahead of time for efficiency. By the time we walked back to Old Town, it was very hot. We should have done the walk first and cable car second. Beautiful city and great idea, but the logistics were inefficient. We ended up splitting off, buying 40 euro tickets to walk the walls of Okd Town, and had a blast on our own.
Operator response
Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate you highlighting areas where we can improve. We understand that the tour got off to a delayed start, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused. While we do our best to begin on time, occasional delays can happen, especially when accommodating late-arriving guests. That said, we agree that a smoother start would have made for a better experience for everyone. Regarding the cable car tickets, these are purchased on the spot due to local policies that prevent advance group bookings, but we understand how this may have felt inefficient in the moment — especially in the heat. We also appreciate your suggestion about reversing the itinerary order. Our route is usually planned with crowd levels and visibility in mind, but we'll definitely take your feedback into account when reviewing our logistics. We're glad to hear you enjoyed exploring the Old Town walls on your own — it’s truly a highlight of Dubrovnik! Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope you'll give us another chance in the future. Warm regards,

Great overview of the old...
Great overview of the old town of Dubrovnik. Our guy had a lot of knowledge about the Game of Thrones. The cable car experience is really cool and worth it.

Highly recommend this to anyone.
Wow! The local knowledge given to us by Tea was phenomenal! Highly recommend the walking tour with any one of Elite walking tour family members. We especially loved the personal stories and touches Tea gave us while walking through old town. The downside to this trip was the timing of the cable car after the walking tour. We would have loved for Tea to talk to us about the places etc while going up the cable car, but with the shear 2hr plus wait to get up the cable car we decided (with Teas recommendation) to take the ticket and come back later without her. We did this, however felt we lost the personal touch of the cable car trip. The city is stunning with so much heritage. We highly recommend this trip, Elite walking tours couldn’t have planned the quantity of people in the city and them all wanting to go up the cable car at the same time, it was just bad timing for us. Thanks Tea for a fantastic walking tour.

Very good walking tour and cable car ride.
The walking tour was great, ending with the cable car ride. After the tour we had lunch at the top adjacent to the cable car. It was a lot of stairs and difficult walking. I am 80 so it was intimidating for me, but the teens with us enjoyed it all.
