What a wonderful tour !
Probably the most beautiful place we visited on our cruise. Visiting Dubrovnik is an extraordinary experience. We went to Cavtat first, a charming town in the riviera. It was very nice with a charming promenade. But nothing will prepare you for the Dubrovnik experience. Our guide, Maria, was certainly knowledgeable about Croatian history and history of Dubrovnik. The only reason I’m not giving the tour 5 stars is her English seemed to be a bit rusty. But it had been 2 years without tours because of the pandemic. Nevertheless, she was very helpful in pointing many details and since we are GOT fans, took us to many of the sights used in filming the series. This was a very nice tour
Response from the operator: Dear Jose, Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to hear you liked our tour. Kind regards, Ivan Elite Travel

Disappointed
Before writing this poor review, I'd like to point out that I contacted Viator to work out a solution in the way of a partial refund or at least an apology regarding our poor experience. They were extremely helpful and accommodating, but unfortunately the tour operator they used in Dubrovnik wasn't interested in an type of resolution. What I can tell you is that this tour is a waste of money. The drive between Dubrovnik and Cavtat is the highlight. Otherwise you can skip Cavtat, and walk around the old city of Dubrovnik by yourself. Our guide actually left us for an hour. She told us to have something to drink while we waited for her to go and have a cigarette and whatever else she was doing. It was very cold, and the only place to sit was outside, so you had to keep moving. I asked to do some shopping and she said she wasn't familiar with the shops, but the first one we went into she found her rare, favorite Vodka and got all excited and purchased it. Wow! First time we've ever experienced that. It has taken four months to write this review so that I wasn't completely negative. The driver reeked of smoke and the guide needed to get her history correct.
Response from the operator: Dear Toulamarie, we are sorry for the inconvenience you say you had on this tour. It's been four months since the experience and we do appreciate that you have found time to share your review with us, during these troubling times. Your feedback is very much appreciated. However, we kindly hope you understand why your refund request was denied - the tour was done according to the schedule, i.e. nothing from the itinerary was missed or skipped. Furthermore, we are aware how the weather may impact the impression of the entire experience, but that is something beyond our control and none of us can change that, unfortunately. Once again, thank you for your kind understanding and for your time. Hoping you are well and keeping safe, we wish you many more travels in the future. All the best.

<p>My husband and I had a wonderful experience, which began with driver Andreas and tour guide Fulvio meeting us at the cruise ship port.<br/> We learned so much about the fascinating history, people, and culture of Dubrovnik as we toured this beautiful city for 4 terrific hours. On a hot Dubrovnik day, it was terrific to see many highlights and return to the air-conditioned car for a quick break. Before we boarded our ship, we ended our tour in the walled city with delicious Aperol Spritzes at a local cafe. Highly recommend this tour and tour company!</p>

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Private Tour of Dubrovnik and Cavtat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Private Tour of Dubrovnik and Cavtat cost?
+
Prices start at $425 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubrovnik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Private Tour of Dubrovnik and Cavtat take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubrovnik is not rushed.
Is Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Private Tour of Dubrovnik and Cavtat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubrovnik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Private Tour of Dubrovnik and Cavtat?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Private Tour of Dubrovnik and Cavtat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Private Tour of Dubrovnik and Cavtat?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubrovnik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubrovnik and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Private Tour of Dubrovnik and Cavtat start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubrovnik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubrovnik?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubrovnik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubrovnik: Game of Thrones Walking Tour, Dubrovnik: 7 Caves & Blue Cave Speedboat Tour (4h), Panorama Zipline Experience in Dubrovnik. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubrovnik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubrovnik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
