After cruising Marina we would be driving over the slopes of Srdj mountain above Dubrovnik, stopping at 2 sites (only smaller vehicles go to mountain Srdj while other organized bus tours stop at 230 m altitude). After marveling at the beauty of the Old Town of Dubrovnik, Lokrum Island, and overall panorama (from the top of the mountain one can see Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as Montenegro), we continue to the Old Town of Dubrovnik where you would walk its streets with one of our licensed guides visiting all major sites and hearing all the important stories of its past and present.

What travelers are saying
It was a terrific tour. We started with a tour of Dubrovnik Old Town, we were picked up at our ship. Mikhael, our guide, was a retired 28 year Croatian special forces veteran. He had so much history from the Cold War era to now. The town of Ston was very quiet and interesting. We felt like we were the locals. The drive along the coast was stunning. The wine tour included 4 wines and several grappa tastes. Definitely would recommend!
