Dont go if it isnt Elvir
From the reviews, it appears Elvir is the owner and the guy to do the tour with. We unfortunately did not get Elvir as our tour guide, but some guy who showed up in sweats, didnt get out of the car to greet us, downplayed our other tour and restaurant choices, was on the phone constantly with the speaker on while driving, had to stop to fill up the tires with air, had to stop again for gas in the car, bought a package of Tuc crackers and after eating several, offered a few to us which we declined. My husband had enough of his negativity and sensing this and his tip slipping away, our guide got somewhat better but didnt rescue the tour enough. Get better back ups Elvir, this guy was a waste of our money

Excellent tour
The organisation was excellent. I was sent a photo and directions to the meeting point and then a photo of the car with it's number plate. The driver/guide was very good and helpful. I particularly enjoyed visiting the Arboretum.

Panorama Dubrovnik & Arboretum Trsteno PRIVATE TOUR: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Panorama Dubrovnik & Arboretum Trsteno PRIVATE TOUR cost?
+
Prices start at $103 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 Panorama Dubrovnik & Arboretum Trsteno PRIVATE TOUR take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Panorama Dubrovnik & Arboretum Trsteno PRIVATE TOUR worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 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 Panorama Dubrovnik & Arboretum Trsteno PRIVATE TOUR?
+
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 Panorama Dubrovnik & Arboretum Trsteno PRIVATE TOUR suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Panorama Dubrovnik & Arboretum Trsteno PRIVATE TOUR?
+
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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Panorama Dubrovnik & Arboretum Trsteno PRIVATE TOUR 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), Dubrovnik: Sunset Kayaking & Snorkeling with water &wine. 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.
What is included in Panorama Dubrovnik & Arboretum Trsteno PRIVATE TOUR?
+
Included: Private transportation; On-board WiFi; Bottled water; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Panorama Dubrovnik & Arboretum Trsteno PRIVATE TOUR include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 11 listed pickup locations in and around Dubrovnik. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Panorama Dubrovnik & Arboretum Trsteno PRIVATE TOUR offered in?
+
It is offered in German and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Panorama Dubrovnik & Arboretum Trsteno PRIVATE TOUR?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Panorama Dubrovnik & Arboretum Trsteno PRIVATE TOUR if the weather is bad?
+
