Hear about the region from your guide and stop for photos at several overlooks for amazing panoramic views of the Dalmatian islands.

Trip was amazing. Dubrovnik is definitely worth seeing.
Tour was well-organized, pick-up point was easy to find, tour left right on time. The guide was well organized (can’t remember her name) and helpful. She did a what’s app to keep in contact during the day in case we needed anything. There was about 3 hours of free time, which allowed us to explore Dubrovnik on our own. Bus was clean. Bus driver was safe.
Dubrovnik was amazing. It’s a beautiful city set within a fortress. You can walk around the entire city on the walls, beautiful views.
The guide did 90-minute walking tour of Dubrovnik. This was great in theory and did help us orient ourselves but we were using the headsets and with all of the surrounding noise, we could only hear half of what she was saying. It might be better to provide a map with some highlights, then we could have read while she was explaining.
The bus stopped for 30 min on the way back for oyster tasting. This is apparently a local thing. Some people on our bus seemed to enjoy. But we weren't interested so with the time it took to get to the place and then sit for 30 minutes, it added an hour to an already very long day. Our preference would have just been a quick potty stop on the way.
For those concerned with potty stops, the bus stopped midway for a break and Dubrovnik has several very clean public toilets.

Day trip to Dubrovnik from Split? Absolutely worth it. Geeked out reenacting all the Game of Thrones scenes—especially Cersei’s iconic “Shame! Shame! Shame!” walk. Strolling through the real King’s Landing was surreal. Naturally, I wrapped up the day the best way I know how: with a pistachio gelato cone. 🍦👑⚔️I’m

I dont usually write any reports but need to regarding my experience with this company. I paid about 150.00 for a full day trip as we were excepting to stay in split. But later found out when we got on holiday we were nearly 2 hrs away . Therefore i contacted the company trying to see if we could still get picked up or an alternative as a taxi would over 200 pounds to get there. There was limited reply as i messaged both company and viator explaining we couldnt make it and due to the fact they failed to read or reply it was just less than the 24 hr free cancellation although it was obvious we couldnt make it. I have asked the company for a refund etc who refused my request. I even g0t a message and call in the morning of the trip asking if we were going ...again another example 0f lack of communication via messages or through aviator.. they seemed more happy that they got 150 pound for nothing....customer service very poor and wouldnt recommend them if u needed any help or a reasonable solution to the issue i had........

Hello mr. Paul, me as an owner of this company love to see review like this from time to time because review like yours makes our 50.000 nice reviews look legit as they are. You are giving us 1* review because you booked a tour for completely wrong city and you choosed not to show up and go on a tour, and that is all happening 12h before tour. Mr Paul next time please learn where are you going, dont be an uneducated man going around the world as a 🐑, trust me it will make your vacation much more pleasant and enjoyable. Thank you for paying your tour and not showing up it really helped our other guests have more space in the bus. There was absolutely 0 reasons for us to refund you any money for your own mistake. We saved your spots, we showed up on time in the morning and you didnt. Next time if you manage to book a tour in a city you are actually staying and it happens to be split omis or trogir please choose Gray Line again and we will show you a 5* review experience. Thank you mr Paul and have a wonderful day.

Tour, itself, was great. The tour guide seemed to be knowledgeable and personable. Dubrovnik on the other hand was very underwhelming. I guess the appeal was lost on me since I know nothing about Game of Thrones.

There was no communication that the tour was cancelled. We found out it was cancelled when checking in at the meetup point (they offer other bus rides so people were there) at 6:40 AM. If they told us the tour was cancelled ahead of time we would have at least had some time to plan another tour and not waste a day. At least they gave a full refund.

Extra cost to walk the wall was 40 Euros but we enjoyed it. The guide led walking tour was informative and interesting. The minibus was packed and some seats were uncomfortable. Some public toilets will cost one euro. In Ston we were able to tap to pay. The turnstile to access the restroom was at first confusing.

Dubrovnik itself was incredible! Old town was amazing - full of history, fun facts, and beautiful scenery! The transportation for the three hour ride there (and back) was incredibly cramped, with broken seats that would stay in an upright position, and it was incredibly dirty. The tour guide was ok at best. You could easily catch the regular bus and experience all of the charm of Dubrovnik with a more comfortable and clean ride there and back.

Great way to get a feel for Dubrovnik. The road from Split is a stunning route. Stop off en route and on the way back was a nice break. Very busy even for October! Ivanka made the trip. Her passion for Croatia is infectious and we felt well looked after and welcome. Thank you

The bus was freezing and we complained to the guide about it but she lied and said the bus did not have air conditioning. She actually got irritated when we complained second time. She never asked the driver to cut down the ac. Ivanka was our guide and she talked too much about irrelevant information.

We were told the activity would take 11 hours, it took 13. We had arranged for a dinner that we had to miss because this took so long We were told it was because of weather but weather had nothing to do with it since we didn’t leave Dubrovnik till 3.30 and still had a stop we had to make( oyster tasting- which was an additional cost which was not told beforehand). I would not recommend this trip, most of time spent traveling or free time- not guided tour

We were worried we’d miss out if we didn’t visit Dubrovnik before leaving Croatia and were really glad we chose this trip. Tin was very friendly and approachable and the whole trip felt well organised and relaxed. We felt we had enough time to get a feel for Dubrovnik without getting tired or bored. Would recommend if you’re not visiting Dubrovnik on your travels!

We stayed in Split, but felt like we couldn't leave Croatia without checking out Dubrovnik. We didn't have a car so we thought this would be a good way to visit. It was actually perfect. We left early in the morning, slept on the bus, stopped about halfway for the restroom and a coffee and continued to Dubrovnik. When we got there our guide gave us a tour of the city and then we had over 3 hours of free time to do as we pleased. The drive home was the same and we stopped at the same place. It took about 12 hours.

Travel is not passenger van or minibus. It’s a full-size bus for 50 people. I asked before booking and they confirmed van or minibus. Bus was fine but don’t appreciate their dishonesty. Would not have booked had I known.

This tour included a 1 hour walking tour with guide and then a few hours to explore on our own. Lots of restaurants to choose from. Went in late April before the summer crowds.
Regina_G, Oct 2024
This was a nice trip. The guide, Petar kept us informed on local history and culture throughout. Plenty of time to wander Dubrovnik on one's own. Lots of steep climbing and stairs.
Brian_P, Sep 2024
Our trip to Dubrovnik was amazing :-) our tour guide, Ivanka was even more amazing :-) she was so helpful and knowledgeable and nice. You could never ask for a better tour guide! Two thumbs up for Ivanka. Dubrovnik is really amazing but you need like a three day weekend at least just to explore. I highly recommend this trip to anybody vacation in Croatia.
Tracey_B, Sep 2024
Our tour to Dubrovnik was great, lots of information told on our coach on the way and walk around once there.Then plenty of time to walk the walks which had fantastic views , u must do it ! Time to have lunch and an ice cream before leaving.
It was busy there but loved it.
Stopped on way home for wine, ham and cheese which was very nice.
A lovely trip.

In my opinion, it's a good tour from Split to Dubrovnik with the tour guide walking you around the old city and having time to do things on your own if the weather is good or if the people in the tour don't mind if the weather doesn't cooperate. The oysters at Ston were delicious. Aside from the bad weather, we still enjoyed exploring the old city. Pero and our driver did their jobs well.
RUTH_B, Aug 2024
Everything about this trip was amazing. Pick up was punctual, driver friendly and Peter was a great tour guide and very knowledgable of not only Dubrovnik but also the entire journey and Croatia in itself. A long journey but with a stop at a very picturesque area and also a stop on the way home with the advantage of buying some local cuisine, the whole day was a huge success and one I would certainly recommend
Milos_Z, Jul 2024
Trip was well organized. Peter was a great guide with many recommendations and a lot of information about Dubrovnik and Croatia in general. The trip does take entire day, but it leaves plenty of time to explore Dubrovnik. Loved the visit to Ston and oysters with wine tasting. Oysters are unique to the area, and should be tasted.
