We stopped in Dubrovnik for the day on our cruise. We kayaked in the morning and walked the beautiful old city. We met Ivo outside the old city and he told us he could take us on a driving tour with great stops and scenery for a great price. He took 12 of us in 2 of his vans (one open air which was fun) and gave us a great tour of his city in about 2 hours. He took us where the tram goes and even a spot with a better view for great pictures. It was the perfect overview of Dubrovnik, he was friendly and informative and even dropped us off back at our ship. We were overwhelmed with the beauty of this city and will be back.
The views were amazing, the drive a little harrowing. I would not have wanted to be seated up front!
Wonderful tour! We got to see many sights, our driver Niko was friendly, on time and a safe driver. He gave us time to explore the city and took us back to the cruise ship on time!
Great tour of city with friendly driver and perfect photo stops along the way. Skip the cable car area - there are much better views.
We had a great time, beautiful tour and very knowledgeable guide. Recommended!
Best views of Dubrovnik. We had a good time. Our driver was very friendly and knowledgeable in the area. Gon Kisser our driver has a good character and very entertaining! Never a dull moment in his company. We recommend the trip to anyone visiting Dubrovnik
Ivo was very helpful and knowledgeable about local history and the area in general. We had a lovely day, seeing the old city and touring the area. He took us to breathtaking scenic spots
Our guide Dennis was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable about the entire area and took us to some viewing areas that most people don’t get to see. He also was quite entertaining.
This tour was well worth it, our guide is very knowledgeable and clearly very proud of Dubrovnik and its history.
Good communication with operator. They positioned several staff to greet us and guide us to the van as we left the port. Our driver, Christian, was great! Navigated the narrow windy roads, gave us info about sights, helped us in snd out of the van. The tour was perfect for us. Included beautiful views from the mountains,interesting local sights and free time to explore the old town on our own. Good company with friendly staff.
