Dubrovnik Old Town: Tours & Tickets

Thanks so much to my guides Theo and Nico for such a lovely morning! After a quick safety demo, we paddled towards Lokrum and Theo told us about the island and the activities you can do there. In the past I’ve had activity guides who have talked about places like they’re reading from a script, but Theo was genuine and played off the group’s energy, answering everyone’s questions rather than just giving a speech. We chose the longer route around and I’m glad we did because we got to paddle inside a beautiful cave in the side of Lokrum. We then went to a beach on the mainland only accessible by kayak with blue, crystal clear water. We got out our kayaks and had lunch, then had time in the water and attracted all the local fish with our crumbs! It was a fantastic morning of exploring Dubrovnik from a different perspective and I would definitely recommend this to everyone visiting the city!

We visited Budva, Kotor and Perast all of which were beautiful and travel worthy destinations. It was a door to door service, picked up (7.15am) and dropped off (8.30pm) at our hotel. Lydia our guide was delightful and very knowledgeable and informative with the right balance of quiet periods. Her restaurant recommendation in Budva was not good (sorry Lydia) - whilst the staff were lovely, the food was not. It was a very hot day and the aircon was practically non-existent. It seemed to be retro fitted and consisted of ugly pipes visible through a hole in the panel above your head which wasnt ideal but would have been OK if effective. All in all a lovely day out in a breathtakingly beautiful country. Only downsides were air con and that the journey to first destination Budva was 4 hours!

The whole trip was brilliant. From getting in the kayak and having a quick lesson in how to paddle/turn, to lunch in a cave and swimming, to kayaking into a stunning water cave! If your able to do this trip, I would really recommend it! You don’t have to have any experience in kayaking which is a bonus, and a huge thank you to Jacob, our instructor. He was brilliant!

Antonia our guide, was such a beautiful and charismatic human being. We heard a lot of Dubrovnik History, and Game of Thrones. We were only few people. Had earphones, for better understanding, and walked a lot of alternative routes! It was our best tour!!!! Thank you Antonia! Now we know, that wealthy is everone in dubrovnik, who still has a balcony :D.

Really enjoyable guided tour of the old fort and Old Town in Dubrovnik. Guide was good fun and gave detailed real history and Game of Thrones history / filming locations of the various sights and views from the Croatian city. Really fun way to spend a couple of hours and learn about the city.
