Mihaela was the most amazing guide- well informed, knowledgeable, interesting and fun. She is a historian and her knowledge is phenomenal
I can really recommend this! There were no signs on the city wall in English informing you around history, so it is crucial to have a guide if you want to learn more about Dubrovnik. We also got the chance to put as many questions we wanted and we learnt a lot around daily life in Dubrovnik both today and in the past. We got good recommendations as well. In short - a great tour!
Dear Ingrid F, It means a lot to read such a nice feedback! Thank you for joining our tour, and for recommending us. Greeting from our team!
We had the most amazing experience touring the Dubrovnik City walls with Desa! Her deep knowledge, engaging storytelling, and passion for the city’s history brought every step of the tour to life. Although my family is from Dubrovnik and I’ve walked the walls before, this was the first time I joined a guided tour-mainly because I had a group of friends visiting for the first time. Our group of 14 was so happy with the tour! Thank you, Desa.
Dear eves1, We're happy to read that Deša made your experience so special! Your group was such a joy to have, and we are thankful you chose us for your tour. Hope to see you again on your next visit to Dubrovnik!
We took the 2 hour sunset tour with Michaela purchased through GetYourGuide . She paced the tour so that we had ample time to rest after the intermittent uphill stairs along the wall and provided interesting history about Dubrovnik and Croatia including personal notes. It was a very enjoyable tour and a highlight of our trip to Croatia.
Dear mark-s1, Thank you for your kind words :) and thank you for joining our tour! Best regards
Daniela was an amazing guide! She obviously enjoys her job, was knowledgeable, and open to answering questions. Dubrovnik city walls was breathtaking and it was a bonus to have it end with the sunsetting! (the 4:00 tour)
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are happy you had such a nice experience and couldn't agree more, the city walls at sunset are truly breathtaking! Greetings from Dubrovnik
Our tour guide Daniel was an absolute gem. She wasn’t only interesting but took an interest in everyone in our small group. She shared some fascinating information as well as a bit of a tear jerker of her own family’s experiences. I would highly recommend this tour. Was a perfect time to do the tour as the sun was at its lowest in the day. highly recommended.
Hi JanieA856, Thank you for joining our City Walls Sunset Guided Tour! Happy to hear you had such a nice time. Best regards
The tour was amazing. Our tour guide, Deśa was very knowledgeable about the history of Dubrovnik. She also gave plenty of recommendations for other things to do and places to eat around the city. She was also very good and patient with my wife who had a fear of heights. Great Tour, with a great guide. Highly recommend.
I liked this so much I sent others on the same tour the next morning. Deca was amazing, giving so much of the history of Dubrovnik as well as information about the culture. She gave recommendations on where to eat and even helped me with instructions for bus including # and stop nearest my hotel. You should do this tour right away as she will help you enjoy rest of your time in Dubrovnik. Yes, lots of steps but stops to tell you about history or views are well timed to catch your breath and take a break
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the area. Told us a lot about the history of old town Dubrovnik.
Absolutely wonderful wall walk with our lovely guide Desa! Thoroughly knowledgeable, passionate about her city, open to answering all questions not only about the history of Dubrovnik but also present life here, as well as offering great suggestions on what to do and where to go, we totally enjoyed this tour and cannot recommend Desa (and this tour!) enough!
