Excellent value and great walking tour to introduce Dubrovnik - This tour was such great value for money. Elvis was a great guide who not only told you about the history but also the customs, the people and gave a great insight into life in Dubrovnik now and in the past. Loved every minute and went at a gentle pace for all to enjoy. 10 out of 10!
