Deeply Moving Historical and Scenic Tour Experience - Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 stars) Tour Company: Dubrovnik Wine Tours Tour: Srdj Hill Scenic Panorama Drive and Dubrovnik Old Town Private Tour Duration: 3 hours Guide: Miho A Tour That Transcends Typical Sightseeing This three-hour panoramic tour with Miho was far more than just stunning views and historical sites - it was a profoundly personal journey through recent history, brought to life by someone who lived it firsthand. As United States Marine Corps veterans, we found this experience particularly meaningful and emotionally impactful. Srdj Hill - Where History Comes Alive The panoramic views from Srdj Hill of Dubrovnik's Old Town and the Adriatic Sea are absolutely breathtaking, but what made this experience truly extraordinary was Miho's personal connection to the landscape before us. This wasn't just scenic tourism - it was living history. Miho shared the locations where both Napoleon's forces and the Croatian Army fought on these very hillsides. Seeing the memorials to fallen Croatian soldiers along the way was deeply moving, particularly as fellow veterans who understand the sacrifice these monuments represent. Personal Stories from a Veteran's Perspective What sets this tour apart from any other historical experience is Miho's ability to point to specific locations where he and his unit were stationed during the 1990s conflict when Serbian forces attempted to overrun Dubrovnik. Standing on the same ground where these battles took place, hearing firsthand accounts from someone who was there, created an emotional connection to the history that simply cannot be replicated through textbooks or typical tour narratives. The most emotional moment came when we viewed the countryside where the war was actually fought. Seeing these sites through the eyes of someone who defended this beautiful city added profound depth to our understanding of Croatia's recent struggle for independence. Dubrovnik Old Town - Living Heritage The Old Town portion showcased the remarkable resilience of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Walking through the ancient walls, narrow medieval streets, and visiting the cathedral, we gained appreciation for what was being defended during the recent conflict. The combination of shops and amazing restaurants within these historic walls demonstrates how this living city has maintained its character while rebuilding and thriving. A Tour for History Enthusiasts and Veterans This experience goes far beyond typical sightseeing. The combination of spectacular views, ancient history, and recent conflict brought to life by someone who lived through it creates an experience that's both educational and deeply moving. I give this tour five stars and strongly recommend it to fellow veterans, history enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to understand the full story of this remarkable city. The amazing views of Dubrovnik and the Adriatic Sea are just the beginning - the real value lies in understanding the courage and sacrifice that preserved this treasure for future generations.

Outstanding guides and tour - What a fabulous tour of Dubrovnik! My friend and I visited from Australia - I am Croatian and have been to Dubrovnik many times before. However, I wanted to give my friend a very memorable experience and Jakov and Stjepan were outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Both gentleman were lovely, professional, friendly and very very knowledgeable about their city. My friend and I highly recommend the private tour, it’s worth every penny and I’d be happy to take friends on this tour again when visiting Croatia. Hvala vam!

What a view!!!! - Riding this attractive cable car, according to many, belongs to the top 5 things you must do in Dubrovnik. From 405 m above sea level, there is a free view of Dubrovnik's old town and the island of Lokrum. Fascinating!

An excellent tour - An excellent experience with a very good guide. It was a very comprehensive tour . We enjoyed the lovely panaramas.

Great private tour with Stjepan - Stjepan was a great guide. As a local, he had lots of interesting stories to tell and took us on the lesser used tourist trails whilst still making sure we saw all the big sights. The views from the viewpoint were fabulous.

Great tour - Trip was well organised and we went at a good pace. Stefan was very knowledgeable of the area and the history. The views and stops were timed well and the Old Town City wall was fun.

The magic of the old city - We arrived in Doverbanik with our dream ship and descended near the walls of the Old City and there we started our hiking tour around the walls. The route is really challenging, but the scenery you see around is a great value for the effort. We really enjoyed the spectacular views and the fine food as well as the delicious ice creams. There is so much to see in the Old City. We spent 5 hours there. You can also take a guided tour after that in another area.
