About Dubrovnik

Discover Dubrovnik, the illustrious Pearl of the Adriatic, where ancient history converges with sophisticated luxury. Step inside the magnificent walled city and wander through the labyrinthine streets of the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site that famously served as King's Landing in Game of Thrones. Every stone tells a story, inviting discerning travelers to explore its rich heritage with expert private tours.

Every Dubrovnik holiday we craft is tailor-made — from a half-day speedboat tour of the Elaphiti Islands to a week-long luxury yacht charter with private chef, wine tastings on the Pelješac peninsula, and exclusive access to Old Town landmarks after hours. We weave bespoke itineraries, custom holidays, and personalised experiences for every traveller.

Dubrovnik is one of the best starting points on the Adriatic for a private speedboat tour. Our fleet of modern speedboats and yachts departs daily from Gruž harbour and the Old Port, skippered by licensed local captains who know every hidden cove, the best swimming spots, and where to stop for a seafood lunch on the water.

Beyond its formidable ramparts, Dubrovnik offers an unparalleled escape along the pristine Adriatic coast. Indulge in bespoke private boat tours to the serene Elafiti Islands, discovering secluded coves and azure waters. Experience opulent stays in private villas, complemented by exceptional fine dining that celebrates local flavors. This destination promises an exclusive Croatian sojourn, tailored for those who seek refinement and unforgettable moments.

Tailor-made holidays in Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is the perfect base for a tailor-made Adriatic holiday. From the moment you step inside the UNESCO-listed Old Town to the moment you board a private speedboat for the Elaphiti Islands, every part of your itinerary can be shaped around how you actually want to travel. We are a Dubrovnik-based DMC and have been planning private trips here since 2006.

What is a tailor-made holiday in Dubrovnik?

A tailor-made holiday in Dubrovnik is a custom itinerary built around your dates, party size, budget and pace. Instead of booking a standard package, you choose where to stay (Old Town, Lapad, Cavtat or a private villa on the islands), how to get around (private transfers, a skippered boat, or both) and which experiences to add — private walking tours, Game of Thrones locations, wine tastings in the Pelješac peninsula, helicopter transfers to Hvar. We assemble it into a single bookable trip with one point of contact.

When is the best time to visit Dubrovnik?

  • May, June and September are the sweet spot — warm sea (20–25 °C), long days, very few cruise crowds in the morning.
  • July and August are peak: vibrant nightlife and consistently calm seas for boat tours, but the Old Town gets busy around midday. Early-morning walking tours and afternoon swimming stops work best.
  • October is excellent for shoulder-season luxury: harvest season in Pelješac, fewer guests in the best villas, and the Adriatic still warm enough for sailing.
  • November to April is quiet, ideal for cultural city breaks and private gastronomy experiences.

What can a private boat tour from Dubrovnik include?

Our private boat tours depart from Gruž harbour and Dubrovnik Old Port. Itineraries are skippered and fully flexible — a typical full day combines:

  • The Elaphiti Islands (Koločep, Lopud, Šipan) for swimming and a seafood lunch on the water
  • The Blue Cave on Koločep in good weather
  • Mljet National Park with its salt lakes and forested hiking trails
  • A sunset cruise along the city walls

Half-day options focus on the closest swimming coves; multi-day charters extend to Korčula, Hvar, Vis and the Pakleni Islands. See our private boat tours in Dubrovnik for the full range.

Where should I stay in Dubrovnik?

The choice depends on what you want from the trip:

  • Old Town — for the romance of waking up inside the walls; limited to walking access and a handful of small luxury hotels and boutique apartments.
  • Lapad and Pile — large 5★ hotels with pools, sea views and direct access to swimming beaches; the easiest base for families and groups.
  • Cavtat — quieter coastal town 20 minutes from the airport, with two of the best resort hotels in the region.
  • Private villas — for groups of 6+ who want a private pool, dedicated host and full meal service.

We work directly with hotel reservations and villa owners across all four areas, so the rate and inventory you see are the live ones.

How do tailor-made holidays compare to booking everything separately?

A tailor-made itinerary typically costs the same as the sum of its parts, sometimes less, because we hold direct contracts with local boat operators, drivers and villa managers — there is no third-party markup. The difference is in coordination: airport pickup, restaurant reservations, weather contingency for boat days, last-minute changes — all handled by one team in Dubrovnik. Most of our travellers come back for a second trip and ask for the same planner.

How far in advance should I book?

For May–October travel, six months of lead time is comfortable — the best villas and the most sought-after captains book out by early spring. For shoulder season and city breaks, 4–6 weeks is usually fine. We do accept short-lead requests (under two weeks) but availability narrows fast, especially for private boats with full crew.

How do I start planning?

Send us your dates, party size and the kind of trip you have in mind — we reply within one business day with a first proposal and live availability. There is no charge for the planning itself; you only pay for the components you choose to book.

The Dubrovnik City Walls are an incredible way to experience the city’s history and beauty. The walk offers breathtaking views of the Old Town, the sea, and the iconic red rooftops. Fans of Game of Thrones will enjoy spotting locations featured in the series, which adds an extra layer of excitement. The walls are well preserved and rich in history, making the experience both scenic and educational. A must-visit when in Dubrovnik, though it can get quite busy during peak hours. Come as early as 8am to avoid crowds and book your tickets online to avoid long queue and not to waste your time.

The Dubrovnik city walls are fantastic and an excellent 2 to 3 hour leisurely walk. The view of old town and the sea from the walls is perfect. The entry is €40 per person, but I suggest buying Dubrovnik pass which is also €40 and gives you access to Dubrovnik city walls as well as a few other attractions such as Rector palace and museums.

Dubrovnik is absolutely beautiful and definitely deserves a 5/5. The old city, the stone walls, the sea views, and the historical atmosphere make it one of the most impressive places to visit in Croatia. The views around the city walls and the harbor are amazing, especially with the clear blue water and the old architecture surrounding everything. Walking through the streets and stairs of the old town feels very special — every corner has history, character, and a great photo opportunity. It can be crowded, especially during the day, but that is understandable because Dubrovnik is such a famous and unique destination. Even with the crowds, the experience is worth it. A must-visit city with incredible views, history, and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

The Dubrovnik City Walls are a must-explore when visiting Dubrovnik. Fans of Game of Thrones shouldn’t miss it either, as several iconic scenes were filmed here. The entire walk is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views over the Old Town and the Adriatic Sea. If it’s a sunny day, make sure to carry water because it can get quite hot along the walls. It’s also better to book tickets in advance to avoid queues.

The most amazing beauty!! Must do if in Dubrovnik. The views are phenomenal. We started from The Ploce gate (near dominican monastery) and I will believe that is best to start. Pile gate starts with too many stairs and always crowded. If you start from Ploce gate the view is phenomenal right when you get up and you start the walk with the difficult climb till minceta tower. That stretch according to me haa the best views of the city and the water together. The cost is 40euros but with dubrovnik city pass it is included which is also 40€ but you get many more museums/ monasteries and rectar’s palace to visit along with it at the same price.
