Great tour which started off a little rough but ended with a bang. I understand that it is necessary to do a lot of the historical groundwork outside the walls but I think our guide attempted to give too much information up front and lost most people's attention. It was over an hour after the tour start time before we even got inside the walls of the city. Once inside, the crush of crowds necessitated her talking a bit less and us moving more quickly, which was good. We had a different guide, Dennis, for the panoramic tour and he was a breath of fresh air! Energetic, fun, witty and knowledgeable, Dennis took this tour from a 3.5 to 5+ in a hurry. We were touring Europe with our grandsons (ages 20 and 18) and they said Dennis was hands down the best guide we had. I agree.

Going up high to get a stunning view of the town and walls was incredible. It really put everything into perspective. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions well.

The transport for the panoramic ride was too cramped and not ideal for seeing the sights. I would have preferred a more open style of transportation.

We learned so much about the walled city, as it changed and transformed over centuries, and saw an awesome surprise view through a tiny doorway, of the coast from a cliff-side bar. Then a pleasant van ride to view Dubrovnik from various locations, including the top cable car station. We even saw the world's smallest river.

Our guide, Ivo, made the tour excellent. He was so informative and casual and friendly - just the perfect blend for a Tour Guide. We got to see so much more than beautiful Dubrovnik Old Town, which helped my newfound love for Croatia grow even stronger.

We were lucky enough to have the owner, Ivo, and we had a great experience. We were a small group. The vehicle was clean and had enough space and was comfortable. Ivo knew lots of history and shared many stories and took us to all the important spots around town as well as a few very scenic points on the outside of town. We got to take in the million dollar view of the old town and he took photos of us. we had good laughs and It was a great value for the money and terrific to support a local business who clearly loves where he lives!
