Dubrovnik tour cancelled

Mary_M, Sep 2023

Day before tour, we received message that we were the only ones registered and it was cancelled - Dubrovnik was one of the places that we really wanted to see when we were in Croatia

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Dear Mary, We apologize for the inconvenience caused by your inability to see Dubrovnik. Unfortunately, you were the only guest who booked the group tour on that day. Although we offered you an alternative day, you chose to cancel, and we have refunded you in full. As you did not participate in the tour, the review you left is irrelevant. We hope that you have a wonderful time exploring Croatia. Sincerely, Ivana

Tony, our driver, was...

Amanda_L, Jul 2023

Tony, our driver, was awesome. I really enjoyed learning about tge area from him. Also, in the (tiny) town itself, Sylvia was very helpful. Dubrovnik is a must-see if you are interested in history. Like anything not built recently, it does not have a lot of wheelchair or baby stroller access. For the like of me, I don't know why anyone would wheel a stroller around with a baby there. I felt sorry for those overheated, tired babies and toddlers.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Mrs Amanda, Thank you very much for your kind review, we are very happy that you enjoyed our tour to Dubrovnik. Hope to see you again! Kind Regards, Danka, South Tours

Dubrovnik in a day

Pat_B, Jul 2023

Definitely worth the visit to get a feel for Dubrovnik, the tour was well run and the driver Antonio was excellent

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you very much for your nice review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the tour, hope to see you again!

Excellent tour

Dear Silvia, Thank you very much for your nice review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the tour, hope to see you again!

Beautiful setting but too short as a day trip

Remo_P, Jun 2023

Stopping at the service area for a glass of wine and a fabulous view This is a long trip but I have to. say the driver Antonio was. brilliant. He was prompt and helpful and worked hard to keep us on time despite the traffic. The guide was very pleasant but I did not feel I learned much about the history of the place. It was more focussed on the best viewpoints for photos or the best place to eat and how much it cost to get into the sights (an awful lot! How can they justify 36 euros to climb up onto the walls and walk along them I don't know) The time we had there made that impossible anyway. The guided tour felt rushed and it is probably too much for a day trip

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Remo, We are glad you like the setting and Antonio is happy to hear that he was brilliant :) Dubrovnik is not so close to Split and unfortunately, we can not stay longer in Dubrovnik as the tour is already long. The tour is set to see everything that is important and also to give you a bit of free time to explore on your own. The walls in Dubrovnik are expensive and they are not a part of our tour, and we rather recommend our guests to have a nice lunch after the walking tour or just to enjoy and walk around then to climb up the walls. We hope to see you again.

Day trip to Dubrovnik

josephine_g, Jun 2023

Loved Dubrovnik. Enjoyed walking the wall around old town. Matt provided us with a good overview of the old town and its history. The only reason for four stars was the long drive made our time in Dubrovnik short.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you very much for your nice review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the tour, unfortunately, Dubrovnik is a bit far and we stay as long as possible in Dubrovnik. We hope to see you again!

A lost opportunity.

Annette_F, May 2023

We requested a pick up as one was offered but were told that we were only 3 minutes away from the meeting point so we walked only to find that although we were so close to the meeting point we actually had to walk in excess of 1 kilometre to the 'bus'. The bus turned out to be a mini van which had almost blacked out windows and VERY little room. We decided not to go.

Response from Host, May 2023

Dear Anette, We are understanding your anger, but unfortunately the Bus is not able to go inside the old town which is under UNESCO protection and we can’t come with the Bus to the agencies door. The Bus was few hundred meters at the Parking spot and you didn’t walk 1 km. Second concern is that you booked a small group tour to Dubrovnik and you had 18seat new Mercedes Sprinter as a Coach and you didn’t want to go inside the bus because apparently it was to small ( but you booked a small group tour to Dubrovnik). We are sorry you didn’t go as for sure you would enjoy the tour. We don’t think is appropriate to give a 1 star review for something you didn’t even go to. We would suggest next time to read descriptions of the tour and to see location where you are before you book the tour. I hope you enjoyed rest of your stay in Croatia. Kind regards, Sandra

Dubrovnik was worth...

Chantal_T, May 2023

Dubrovnik was worth visiting! The poor review was due to guide in the city being too fast, did not wait for all people to join prior starting explanation and we could not hear the guide adequately due to surrounding noise.

Response from Host, May 2023

Dear Chantal Teixeira Rosa, We are sorry you couldn't hear the guide due to surrounding noise. We will definitely talk to the guide and see how we can avoid the crowd (thought it is a bit difficult as Dubrovnik is crazy busy during the season) but definitely we will find a solution to make our guest happy. Kind regards, Sandra

Great Day

James_B, Jul 2022

Excellent trip to Dubrovnik, our driver was outstanding and the stops on the trip were very interesting. Great experiencw

Avoid this trip to Dubrovnik!

Gillian_C, Jun 2022

The guide was half an hour late and then out introducing herself just turned and walked to the bus which was an air conditioned van with seats rammed too close together to fit your knees in even before people in front put their seats into reclining. The guide continued her silence so she didn’t learn our names or vice versa or even anything about the journey… how long or if there was a loo stop. We were dropped off way above the town… no reason given and had to walk down many steps… over 10 mins during which one lady fell trying to keep up with the guide who was still unaware of this when we reached the bottom. The we were the only English speaking couple for English speaking guided tour of Dubrovnik which was clearly not what the German, Spanish and Dutch group expected and they really did not have English as a second language. I explained that there was no way we could go back up all their steps to the bus at the end of the day and our tour guide just said there was no choice and didn’t give a reason. We found out for ourselves that the number 8 bust would take us there so bought our own tickets and organised to meet them at the top just in time to see a member of our group fall over again walking up. Another member of the group felt I’ll when she reached the top of the steps and couldn’t make the next bit of the journey and had to be collected. There was no water on the bus which she needed when she got there. Our guide then walked us a busy 4 lane road with drivers shouting at us that we were mad and that didn’t we know there was an underpass to reach the van parked on the other side. All the while our guide has still said nothing to any of us or even given us her name which we asked for. We called into South Tours on our return to Split at 21.00 where we had found the staff at the office most helpful at all times and apparently the guide was new but didn’t even seem to try to a job. The bus was also too cramped for such a long journey.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Dear Gillian, We are sorry you did not enjoy the city walking tour of Dubrovnik. Unfortunately, we can't do much about the heat and parking as this is the stop where all tourist groups stop. Dubrovnik has a lot of steps and only local buses can stop outside the walls of Dubrovnik. We hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday in Croatia. Kind Regards, South tours

Great experience

Charlotte_J, Jun 2022

While this trip was amazing on its own for its access to a multitude of activities and information from a guide inside the old walls of Dubrovnik, the road to the city was also memorable thanks to our dynamic guide Mile. The guide was entertaining and gave a lot of information concerning important aspects of the country as well as explanations to our questions. We truly recommend this experience as the price was also very affordable considering what was offered to us that day!

Beautiful place to visit 🇭🇷

Dawn_B, Jun 2022

Excellent trip. Lovely friendly and informative staff. Relaxing and comfortable journey with plenty of stops on the way. A must do activity 👍

Terrible experience

Gio_B, Jun 2022

Terrible tour. Clueless guide with us in the, hot small crowded van. One stop in the 4-hour drive in a small Cafe in Bosnia with the rudest people on earth. Left us far from the city gate to avoid paying fee to drop us off, had to walk up and down stairs for about a mile to get there in the hot sun. Handed us off to someone to guide us to the city gate, then handed us off to someone else to guide us in the city (she was ok). Trip back was not better, except no stops in the 4-hour plus trip

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Dear Gio, We are sorry you did not enjoy the tour. As we already try to explain to you, you booked a small group tour and there were another 14 guests with you on the tour who enjoyed and liked the tour. Dubrovnik is a UNESCO town and unfortunately, we can't drive you directly inside the old town as there are no cars inside the walls of Dubrovnik, the group has been dropped off exactly at the same place where all tour buses stop, also, there is nothing we can do about the stairs as this is Dubrovnik with loth of narrow cute streets, a lot of stairs and you booked a guided Dubrovnik city tour. There was an option for a private tour and I would suggest you for the next time to choose this option as you can manage your own free time and breaks and sights you prefer, like this on group tour we have to look for all guests needs and to do the tour as described. We wish you a pleasant stay in Croatia and we hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday! Kind Regards ST

Our Driver, “Harry,” was so professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. His recommendations were spot on for sight seeing

Raymond_V, May 2022

Our Driver, “Harry,” was so professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. His recommendations were spot on for sight seeing and budget-friendly eateries. Our day ended with an amazing view of the city. What a treat! Thanks Harry.

Dear Raymo, We are very glad that you enjoyed the trip. Hope to see you and hear from you in the future. All the best, South Tours Team

Longa viagem mas valeu bem a pena

Fernando_M, May 2023

Valeu a pena visitar apesar de a viagem de ida e volta ser bastante longa. O condutor Antony deu muitos detalhes sobre o país e cultura locais e foi muito divertido e prudente na condução. A guia Silvia em Dubrovnik foi super atenciosa, detalhada e concisa sobre toda a história do local tendo dado várias recomendações sobre o que fazer durante as 3h de tempo livre. Gostei bastante

Dubrovnik hermoso! Pero viajar en buenas condiciones,el aire acondicionado

mgrenon4, Aug 2022

La combi que nos transportaba se rompió,nos dejaron varados en la carreter con un calor agobiante,el otro chofer No quiso detenerse ni ayudarnos,no llevaba el seguro y no tenían ni una botella de agua ,1hora y media hasta que nos auxiliaron.fuimos a South tours a reclamar y la único que conseguimos fue una compensación de 20 euros, ,reitero SOUTH TOUR MY DESPROLIJOS

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Dear Guest, we appreciate your comment. The Van suddenly stopped and we did our best to organise a minibus as soon as possible and it took all together 35min for the new bus to pick you up together with your driver. We do have insurance as we are a travel agency and things like this can happen and we apologise to you and gave you a refund of 20 EUR each and also offered a free city tour. This happened on the way back, you came from Split to Dubrovnik, you had a city tour in Dubrovnik with the local guide and everything was good with the Van and suddenly on the way back it stopped. Also, you had a Spanish-speaking driver and an escort which you did not book. Another driver couldn't come back because there was no space in the Van that was full of other guests, that's why we organised another bus just for you. It was not pleasant how you screamed at our employee in the agency after you came back and other gusts apologised for you and did not feel comfortable about it. We wish you all the best and hope you have a nice time in Croatia. Kind Regards, ST

Bonne Expérience

ALAIN_C, Aug 2020

Bonne excursion en compagnie d'un chauffeur très sympathique, la guide de la visite guidée était très gentille mais la visite guidée de 1h30 était trop longue, une seule heure aurait suffit, sinon excellente journée passée dans la superbe ville de Dubrovnik.
