“I would have rated this tour as 5 stars because it was an awesome tour that delivered everything it promised. However, it only gets 4 stars because, disappointingly, we couldn’t hear a thing. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable, fun, pleasant and interesting, but we couldn’t hear her. And neither could most of our group. Unless you were in front of her or right next to her, you had no idea what interesting information she was sharing. Every tour, especially in crowded Dubrovnik, needs a mic and ear bud set up. That would have made this a 10-star tour. One couple even left the tour because they couldn’t hear and…”

The trip suits anyone who wants an easy island sampler without arranging separate ferries.

“Host Ana was very good. This tour is convenient if you are staying at Sheraton since boat is right there. It also starts at 10 (not 1045 which is what viator said 1045 is when it leaves old town not Sheraton) Compared to other companies this one starts a little later and you have only 2 hours at last island. 2 hours was cutting it short if you wanted to go to Sandy beach. To go to Sandy beach you have to go to walk 15 minutes then pay 3 euro in cash each way for a golf cart. Then you get only 45 minutes to an hour at beach.…”
