“The DUBROVNIK CABLE CAR RIDE, OLD TOWN WALKING TOUR PLUS CITY WALLS tour is a must experience. Our local guide was very knowledgeable. After the tour, my friend and I walked the entire city wall to see all the spectacular views from different advantage points.

“This tour was not a good experience for us. Unfortunately, a heavy thunderstorm broke out right when our walking tour was supposed to begin. While we know that the weather can’t be blamed on the tour company, the walking half was canceled with no refund. We tried to do the panoramic views portion by van but our driver just seemed irritated with us and it made for an uncomfortable drive with little information shared. We booked 3 Viator excursions while on our cruise, the other 2 were great but this one did not meet our expectations.”

It did not disappoint, Ivan was our guide and he did a terrific job from start to finish. He is a wealth of knowledge and kept us engaged, informed and entertained the whole time.
