Our trip to Dubrovnik was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Game of Thrones filming locations tour was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Mount Srđ cable car and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Buža Bar cliffside views alone was worth the trip, but combined with Lokrum Island ferry and reserve this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. Lokrum Island ferry and reserve in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.
