"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"When my partner and I went on a whale watching trip with Sea Kayak Adventures five years ago, we concluded that it was one of the best things we had ever done - especially the encounters with the grey whales in Magdalena Bay. I decided that I wanted an excuse to visit the whales again and I found this in a plan to go back with my family so that we could introduce them to my family and share their joy in this trip. As always, when organising such a treat, I was desperate that it would be as good a second time. I need not have worried, under the expert guidance of Monica (who amazingly had been a guide on our first trip) and Fabian our family group were wowed by whales that swam close, sky-hopped, breached and swam to our boat, rubbed against it, looked us in the eye mammal-to-mammal and then let us rub their skin. Wow oh wow! My niece even discovered that one whale had shared two of its sealice with her! Simply amazing and thanks to Monica and Fabian for sharing their knowledge, enthusiasm and expertise with us, and to Vicky for the excellent food."

What travelers are saying

"I have travelled with ROW numerous times, including four trips on the Rogue River. Every trip has been wonderful and every person associated with ROW has been nice, knowledgeable, professional and fun. The Rogue is a great river and the trip is an excellent one for two people or a large group—and I have done both. I’ve taken both of my kids, one time each, and have organized groups of colleagues twice; most recently in 2019 when 14 of us gathered. The guides at ROW are great and help to make the trip very enjoyable. The scenery, lodging and the wonderful outdoors including warm air and refreshing water, make for a wonderful escape from the everyday routine. The fact that this trip offers beds and indoor plumbing is a nice benefit and allows those who have an aversion to camping a chance to see the wilderness. I have recommended ROW and the Rogue trip more times than I can count and my group has already reserved our trip for 2021. What are you waiting for?"

What travelers are saying

"Our family of four, including two adult children, took the Bicycling: Day Trips to Paradise in Canada. This trip is entirely outsourced to the owners of the inn, there are no Road Scholar employees involved in the trip. Two of us have taken bicycle trips all over the world and the bicycling component of this trip was disorganized, haphazard and almost unsafe. We all filled out forms giving details regarding our bicycle fitting months before the trip. On the first day, the leader Stephen, went around the room and asked the same questions and said everyone would get fitted in the morning before we began the first ride. The morning brought a rack of bikes, all different types in various levels of readiness. There were road bikes, hybrid bikes, mountain bikes and e-bikes. The rides were all on paved surfaces and the mountain bikes were heavy and the additional suspension added weight. The bike I received had rust on the chain and rear sprocket. When I asked about it, was told they were waiting for another van to show up with tools and equipment. Once it arrived, they gave me the lubricant to spray on the rust. My wife’s bike would not shift into the high gear on the front sprocket. Instead of adjusting the derailleur, they suggested spraying it with lubricant. Our one son is over six feet and needed a larger frame bike, even though he detailed it in the bike form months ago, there was no bike to fit him. One of the guides, then went home and brought a larger bike that was a full suspension mountain bike for him. The bike was very heavy, hard to control on the road and he felt unsafe. After two days, one of the guides convinced Stephen that they could adjust a hybrid bike to fit him. Clearly there was no work done to prepare the bikes for the trip. Many of the bikes needed adjusting and all needed lubricant to function easily. For every day, there was a tray of snacks placed out for us to take along the ride. None of the bikes had any baskets or attached bags, so if you didn’t bring a small day pack, there was no way to carry the snacks. For lunch on the rides, they brought exactly one sandwich for each rider. Since most of us get hungry while doing a day of exercise, it would have been helpful to have a few extras. On one day, they ran out of sandwiches and one of the leaders that were riding with us did not get lunch. Do NOT take this trip if you are expecting it to be a bicycling trip. We have used VBT and Discovery Bicycle Tours many times over the past 25 years and they are excellent bike tour companies. Lastly, after sharing these details with Road Scholar after the trip, their response was weak at best. After doing the full reviews and having to call them, their response was to give us $200 credit after spending $8000 on this trip. Not only was that insulting, they assumed that I would take another trip with their organization."

"This was out first trip with KE and part of a longer stay in China. We had a fantastic time and the trek was the highlight of our extended holiday. The scenery was stunning and enhanced by the heavy snow fall we got at second camp. Whilst unexpected, the tour leader was able to modify our schedule and we completed the trek by staying at the second base camp for an extra night. We had active and passive acclimatisation and didn’t suffer from any altitude sickness. The days were relatively short in terms of walking but that was good as it left time to adjust the schedule when the unexpected happened. Whilst walking poles are listed as recommended, we think they were essential. Also make sure you have a good quality thermal sleeping mat as it is cold at night. The only negative is the use of single use plastic which is common throughout China. In summary a fantastic adventure and the panda bears are very cute too!"

"We booked in February via TripMasters for a trip to Italy in June. Everything was confirmed in February, after our payment. However, in May, right before our trip, we were told that our hotel in Venice had become unavailable. This is from the email sent by TripMasters : "We were just informed that Sant`Antonin Hotel will not be able to honor our reservation that is why our vendor is offering the following alternative properties that is a free upgrade to 4 stars Hotel: 1st Option: Novotel Venezia Mestre Castellana - Upgrade to 4**** Via Alfredo Ceccherini 21, Mestre, VE, 30174, ITA Room type: Family Room, 1 Double Bed with Sofa bed Bedding type: 1 Double Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed 2nd Option: Hotel Mercure Venezia Marghera - Upgrade to 4**** Via Malamocco 14, Mestre, VE, 30175, ITA Room type: Starndar, Multiple Beds 2 Twin Beds and 1 Double Sofa Bed Note that these rooms are not booked yet. We need your approval. Please let us know if you accept, or if you need further information do not hesitate to contact us." Neither hotel has the traditional style we were looking for, so we declined and scrambled to find among the much more limited inventory than when we booked our trip in February an acceptable alternative. It's only until we finished our trip and got to know the area better did we realize how far away the two alternative options TripMasters are from Venice (>1 hour each way to Venice via public transportation) and how much cheaper they are compared with our original choice (right in the center of Venice and has stellar reviews). We just felt lucky that we didn't take the bait and fell into their trap. Otherwise, our trip would have been ruined. It's quite blatant when they had the gut to mention this in their email: "a free upgrade to 4 stars Hotel" without disclosing the much different location of the two alternatives. We dislike being treated so dishonestly and will never use them again."

Dubrovnik Tour Selection Trips

  • Dubrovnik can be very warm, even during the spring and fall, picking the right time of year to visit is essential.
  • Dubrovnik isn’t only about the old town, making sure you have some free days to explore more is highly encouraged.
  • If you wish to include Dubrovnik on a broader Croatian trip, most tours of the country include a stop in the city.
  • Dubrovnik has a rich historical and cultural past, working in local experiences and tour guides will help you really learn about the city.

Additional details

Is Dubrovnik Included on Most Croatia Tours?

Yes, Dubrovnik is almost always included on tours to Croatia. Sitting in a prime location on the southern tip of the Dalmatian Coast, Dubrovnik has become a top cruise and tour destination in the last 15 years.

The city’s rich cultural past as a former stronghold for the Republic of Ragusa from the 14th century to the 19th century has given the city its romantic and medieval draw. Tour companies include Dubrovnik in their itineraries not only because of the its location and history, but also because unique story in Croatia’s past.

Dubrovnik is also included in guided tours because the city was used for filming the TV show Game of Thrones. With the creation of the show, Dubrovnik has shot up the destination ladder with fans of the show flocking to see where their favorite scenes were filmed.

Dubrovnik Weather

Dubrovnik has one of the best climates to visit throughout the year. With its location next to the Adriatic Sea, the city maintains a typical Mediterranean climate. Almost half of the year the city sees clear skies with bright sunshine.

During the spring and fall, the weather is warm, but not uncomfortable. You are still able to go kayaking in the bay or lay out on the beaches. The nights do get a little bit cooler so it’s a good idea to include an extra layer if you are heading out into the city for dinner.

The summer months are the busiest and the hottest. During the summer, Dubrovnik can get into the upper 80s with very little cloud cover. While 85 doesn’t seem too warm, with Dubrovnik’s location the sun and temperature feels much warmer because there is typically very little clouds and the city is farther south.

The winters in Dubrovnik are cooler and wetter. However, the average temperature is in the mid-50s. While the city doesn’t see normally see snow, they can occassionaly get a small amount, but it is usually rainy.

Is Dubrovnik Safe?

Yes, Dubrovnik is very safe. Conflict ended in Croatia in 1995 after the War of Independence and the fall of Yugoslavia. Since then, there has been no major conflicts or issues in Dubrovnik or Croatia.

However, with Dubrovnik becoming a top tourist destination, visitors should remember to safeguard their belongings. Pickpocketing or tour scams can happen. Always be aware of where your purse or wallet is. Also, if you are going on a tour or looking for a tour guide, make sure to do some research before you sign up.

Getting Around Dubrovnik

If you are staying in the Old Town, it is very easy to get around the city. The Old Town of Dubrovnik is smaller than you think. The length of the city walls that surround the town only total over 6,000 feet.

While the Old Town is small, there are many side streets and alleyways you may get turned around in. Just remember that the walls completely surround you and if you need to get back to the main road, just head for the center of the city down the stairs.

If you are staying outside of the Old Town, Dubrovnik has a large and efficient bus system. One of the main stops in the city is at Pile Gate, the main entrance to the Old Town. All of the lines run through this stop making it easy to get from your hotel to the Old Town or surrounding beaches.

For those who are on Croatia guided tours or cruises, your tour company will usually transport you from your hotel or ship by charter bus. The buses stop right outside of Pile Gate so you can explore the city.
