Dubrovnik Small Group Tour from Split or Trogir

The guide was half an hour late and then out introducing herself just turned and walked to the bus which was an air conditioned van with seats rammed too close together to fit your knees in even before people in front put their seats into reclining. The guide continued her silence so she didn’t learn our names or vice versa or even anything about the journey… how long or if there was a loo stop. We were dropped off way above the town… no reason given and had to walk down many steps… over 10 mins during which one lady fell trying to keep up with the guide who was still unaware of this when we reached the bottom. The we were the only English speaking couple for English speaking guided tour of Dubrovnik which was clearly not what the German, Spanish and Dutch group expected and they really did not have English as a second language. I explained that there was no way we could go back up all their steps to the bus at the end of the day and our tour guide just said there was no choice and didn’t give a reason. We found out for ourselves that the number 8 bust would take us there so bought our own tickets and organised to meet them at the top just in time to see a member of our group fall over again walking up. Another member of the group felt I’ll when she reached the top of the steps and couldn’t make the next bit of the journey and had to be collected. There was no water on the bus which she needed when she got there. Our guide then walked us a busy 4 lane road with drivers shouting at us that we were mad and that didn’t we know there was an underpass to reach the van parked on the other side. All the while our guide has still said nothing to any of us or even given us her name which we asked for. We called into South Tours on our return to Split at 21.00 where we had found the staff at the office most helpful at all times and apparently the guide was new but didn’t even seem to try to a job. The bus was also too cramped for such a long journey.

While this trip was amazing on its own for its access to a multitude of activities and information from a guide inside the old walls of Dubrovnik, the road to the city was also memorable thanks to our dynamic guide Mile. The guide was entertaining and gave a lot of information concerning important aspects of the country as well as explanations to our questions. We truly recommend this experience as the price was also very affordable considering what was offered to us that day!

Excellent trip. Lovely friendly and informative staff. Relaxing and comfortable journey with plenty of stops on the way. A must do activity 👍

Terrible tour. Clueless guide with us in the, hot small crowded van. One stop in the 4-hour drive in a small Cafe in Bosnia with the rudest people on earth. Left us far from the city gate to avoid paying fee to drop us off, had to walk up and down stairs for about a mile to get there in the hot sun. Handed us off to someone to guide us to the city gate, then handed us off to someone else to guide us in the city (she was ok). Trip back was not better, except no stops in the 4-hour plus trip

Our Driver, “Harry,” was so professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. His recommendations were spot on for sight seeing and budget-friendly eateries. Our day ended with an amazing view of the city. What a treat! Thanks Harry.

Bonne excursion en compagnie d'un chauffeur très sympathique, la guide de la visite guidée était très gentille mais la visite guidée de 1h30 était trop longue, une seule heure aurait suffit, sinon excellente journée passée dans la superbe ville de Dubrovnik.
