The guide lady was very good, professional. The tour started and ended on time. She explains every thing to detail.
Antonia was wonderful, guiding and answering questions. Thank you for a memorable experience in beautiful Dubrovnik!
Enis was a wonderful guide full of knowledge and interacted well with our group. She provided a great deal of history of Dubrovnik. The tour was well worth doing and I would highly recommend it
Dorothea was very energetic, funny and enjoyable! We learned history, old and new, as we walked through the Old City and saw the main sights.
Our guide Dorathea was lovely. Full of interesting information and enthusiasm. We enjoyed every minute and she gave us some good recommendations for our stay in Dubrovnik. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Dear Fiona, thank you for great feedback! Happy New year🥳🥂!
Were traveling with Dorothea and it was just all great. Their English was very understandable for us (Germans), we got information about the city, Croatia in general and also about the people. After almost 2 hours we were totally satisfied and well informed. PS As the name of the tour suggests, it is about the history of Dubrovnic. Thank you Dorothea
Dear Dirk, thank you for great feedback! Happy New year🥳🥂!
Dorotea was a brilliant guide - knowledgeable, funny, engaging interesting who brought the history of this beautiful location to life. I’d have no hesitation in recommending her and this tour to anyone , she was really passionate about the history of her country and Dubrovnik in particular (and it was great to meet a fellow Beatles fan and hope she makes it to Liverpool one day and I could show you round my city 😊)
Dear Mark, thank you for great feedback! The Beatles rule! Happy New year🥳🥂!
Dorothea was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and told us the history of Dubrovnik. She was thoughtful and always kept us in the shade if possible which was very important as it was 36 degrees. Dorothea was engaging and had a good sense of humour. We were lucky as there was only our family of 4 on the tour so we were all able to hear and were entertained the whole 2 hours
Dear Michele, thank you for great feedback! Happy New year🥳🥂!
Fantastic tour of the city that gave a fantastic history in an insightful and engaging way. Tour Guide was lovely and energetic. Definitely a must do and worth every penny.
Dear Nick, thank you for great feedback! Happy New year🥳🥂!
We arrived early to a very crowded area, No one was present for our tour. Listening device would have been wonderful, very hard to hear the guide.
