Davor knows his history. - Davor was our guide and I can only say he has an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of Dubrovnik as well as an impressive insight on human motivation. We really enjoyed learning about how and why the Croatian people developed the way they did. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

A must do tour - We had a great tour of the walls with Dovak. Late afternoon was a good time to go with beautiful light over the views. Dovak got the balance right of talking and allowing us time to just enjoy scenery. Very informative.

Worth it - A lot of history packed into 2 hours. Interesting points that otherwise would’ve been missed and pointed out the best spots for photos. Kudos to Davos

City walls tour - Gorun was a really great guide and had a ton of knowledge to share! We had plenty of time to ask questions, get a drink, and take a break halfway

The ancient walls tour... - The ancient walls tour was very engaging and offered beautiful views of the old city and surrounding area. Our guide, Gorun, was excellent and very open about sharing his knowledge and allowing for questions about the history of the area. The tour itself requires some effort and might not be for you if you struggle with any discomfort of heights.

Dubrovnik Wall and War tour - If you like history, architecture, and great views and don’t mind a bit of walking, this tour ticks all the boxes. We had a great guide- Goran, who was very knowledgeable with a few fun facts as well. I would absolutely recommend the tour “Walls & Wars” rather than just walking the walls on your own, as you would miss out on the stories and perspective the guide brings.

A must do - The wall tour was great, the views were wonderful...luckily we had a sunny, breezy day so it wasn't too hot. Our guide, Goran, was good, very knowledgeable about the history of the wall and the city. Unfortunately the headsets didn't have a great range so at times, when he was further ahead, we lost the signal and couldn't hear what he was saying. He also spoke about the war which was informative and interesting...his personal insights and stories as a survivor added a different perspective. We empathized with his experience and understood his frustration and anger about the war. However we felt that this part of the tour went too long. All in all, it was a great experience, and a must do.
