Per one customer who booked the Dubrovnik: Game of Thrones & Lokrum Island Tour, "What an AWESOME tour! Alex was phenomenal—so knowledgeable, personable, and fun. My partner and I were fans of the show (my partner read the books as well) and we couldn't have been more thrilled about this experience. Even if you weren't a fan, the sights/sites are stunning and you learn a lot about Dubrovnik, the series, and the beauty of the area. We advise adding on Lokrum Island, as that was a delightful experience as well. Overall, perfect excursion and guide. Thanks Alex!"
