A walk over the city walls of Dubrovnik is a must-do for every visitor. This beautifully preserved walled city, surrounded by battlements erected over several centuries. Six metres deep in some places, the walls are dotted with forts looking out to both sea and land. Within, baroque churches and grand palaces speak of the splendour of a town that was once a wealthy republic in its own right. Listen to surprising facts, exciting legends and funny tales. All this while enjoying stupendous views of the sparkling Adriatic and the town skyline.  Learn about the past, turbulent events from more recent times and get to know Dubrovnik's Old Town from a different perspective.

We really enjoyed our Game of Thrones tour in Dubrovnik- our guide was very knowledgeable, had lots of interesting stories and carried a book to help remember which scenes were filmed on the location. We also had lots of non GoT related questions and he very kind in answering them with lots of details. Highly Recommend!!

We went for 4 hour boat trip hopping on three elaphite islands nearby Dubrovnik with Joseph. It's by far the best experience in Dubrovnik to enjoy the amazing water and islands in Adriatic Sea. We went to snorkeling in blue cave,chill at beautiful sandy beach on Lopud Island and most important is that Jospeh is very nice guy to talk with and this was great way to explore Dubrovnik and local culture and local people's life by boat..we highly recomend this tour!!

This was such a wonderfully experience and definitely one of my favorite trips in my life so far. I was picked up promptly at my place of accommodation and we journeyed to the NP. The weather was amazing and since we were still dealing with a pandemic the boat ride to the NP was nearly empty with two other guests. I got as much time as I needed to spend at the park and ogle at its magnificence. We then continued our journey to Trogir which is a hidden gem with amazing sites to see. All in all it was an amazing experience. Thanks Mikel!

Ivo was a wonderful tour guide. We contacted him late at night the day before we wanted to do the tour and he was so helpful and accommodating. Ivo is an excellent tour guide with exceptional knowledge and interesting stories. We would recommend him to anyone wanting to do a tour in or around Dubrovnik.

7. Vela Spila hike - Ice Age on the Mediterranean

Obala 3 21, 20270, Vela Luka, Croatia Luški puti

Starting from the center of Vela Luka we'll pass thru the old part of town and quickly enter pine forest's pleasant shade. On the southern slopes of Pinski rat hill, overlooking the town and the bay of Vela Luka, we will find one of the most important prehistoric archeaological sites in Europe. Layers of findings in Vela Spila cave reveal details covering a period of over 25 000 years of human inhabitance. Pots, tools, artistry, animal bones and burial grounds offer insight into changes in human lives during climate and geological turmoils that marked the end of Ice Age. The distance we will cover is about 3.5 kilometers, with 150 meters of altitude gain (about 2.2 miles and 500 feet of elevation gain) which usually takes a little bit over an hour. The terrain we'll walk on is paved road in the town, gravel road and trail on our way to the cave and paved stairway on the descent back to town.

Inclusions: Experienced Guide

Exclusions: Entrance to Vela Spila (15 kuna per person)

This was my first trip to Croatia and the island of Korcula. After a week of scuba diving in and around the sleepy village of Vela Luka, I wanted to see the rest of Korcula. I was lucky enough to find Frano as my personal guide to take me on aan adventure I'll never forget. Frano is a local, knowledgeable about every facet of Korcula-from its history and flaura and fauna to its local culture and hidden gems. He's bright, speaks fluent English, and really listened to what I was interested in and what I wanted to do. He is everything you could ask for in a guide: accommodating, friendly, considerate, attentive, thoughtful, fun, and thorough. Frano met with me the day before of our day long tour and shared all the options we could do. He is an advanced rock climber, spelunker, and offers adventurous mountain bike trips. As much fun as that sounded, I only had a day, so I wanted to see and learn as much as I could on Korcula. Frano didn't disappoint. He picked me up with his friend and we headed out for an incredible day. Rocking out to Croatian music along the way, we visited several small towns and had VIP treatment at a beautiful local winery that was several hundred years old. We toasted with several delicious local wines served up with local figs, amazing homemade cheese, bread, etc. We pretty much had the place to ourselves. Frano knew the head wine maker and his family so we were treated well. This is the kind of 1:1 experience you never forget. We stopped by several breathtaking beaches, popped in for a swim in the warm, clear waters of the Adriatic sea. Frano taught me about the local economy, how every family would trade local caught fish, handmade olive oil, cured meats, and more with each other. I got a sense of what life was like there. Korcula is a large island, but most families know each other. It's a warm, friendly culture and I felt welcome. Frano took me to the highest point on the island. He showed me around an old fortress and then led me up to a rusted old lookout tower. He introduced me to a man sitting there. No phone. No electricity. Just a simple mattress, chair, and the most basic provisions. Frano explained to me this is how they keep an eye on the entire island for fires during the summer months. But this lookout point was used all the way back to Roman times. Speaking of which, we could see the Italian coast, just 75 miles away from that vantage point. Frano and I were engaged in such interesting conversation all day. Unlike so many guides who offer a scripted approach, this tour was customized for me. He's not rigid at all but he was mindful of time so we could hit all the places he wanted to show me. One of the highlights of the day was a hike around a hidden forest area. I think it was a state park. If you don't know where to look, you'd never find it. What was so cool about this spot is that the area around it was unremarkable scrub brush. It was hot. In the 90's. Once we made our way past that, it was like an oasis. The temperature dropped 20 degrees, the rock formations, plants, and trees suddenly changed. It was mystical. Like something out of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. We had the whole place to ourselves. It was stunning, albeit a relatively small area. We walked through narrow, cool tunnels, over boulders, through winding trails, and then back out again. Thanks to Frano's knowledge of the island, I got to experience something most other visitors will never know. We ended up in old Korcula Town and Frano explained its history and architecture. He knew details about the town that made me appreciate everything I saw, like how the buildings were positioned at a specific angle and arc, so the breeze would flow into people's homes-natural air conditioning. Bottom line: Korcula has a lot to offer. It's a beautiful island with a beautiful culture and history. And there's no one better than Frano to show you around his home. To get here, you can take a ferry to Split or Dubrovnik. It's about a 2 hour trip each way. A must visit if you visit Croatia. Thanks again Frano! I will never forget our adventure.

8. Gradina bay hike - Navigare Necesse Est

Obala 3 21, 20270, Vela Luka, Croatia Luški puti

Deep bay of Vela Luka has pretty much determined the history of the town as well – fishing, shipbuilding, and seafaring were always part of living here. Prehistoric site of Vela Spila, thousands years old anchorage at Gradina bay, picturesque coves and chapels along the coastal trail – they all reveal us the details of a long and rich history of living by the sea and with the sea. The distance we will cover is about 13 kilometers, with 340 meters of altitude gain (about 8 miles and 1100 feet of elevation gain) which usually takes about 4 hours.
