Marina was our tour guide.Her extensive knowledge and command of the English language was outstanding.
Maria was lovely. We were very tired from delayed plane ride, so we were tired. She told us what she knew. She knew her history, but not too much of tour was about the Jewish world.
Our tour guide was lovely and extremely knowledgeable. However, we signed up for what we thought was a tour of the Jewish quarter. That consisted of visiting the only synagogue where we had to pay an additional fee to enter. There really isn’t any Jewish history in Dubrovnik and should not have a tour touting it. Was still a great experience.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We're glad to hear you still had a great experience and appreciated the guide. We’re sorry the tour did not fully meet your expectations regarding Jewish history in Dubrovnik. We’ll review the tour description to ensure it accurately reflects the content provided and avoid any misunderstandings in the future.
