This was a great tour! We always love food tours because they also have a bit of history and stories involved. Anne was our guide and she grew up here. She was able to give us a lot of history and explain a lot about the city. We tasted a lot of local food and wines which were definitely unique and we loved all the food. We had my 3 year old son and she was very friendly with him and it was great. I would 100% recommend doing this tour.Gareth P

Our guide was the very knowledgeable Ana. She grew up in the old town of Dubrovnik and really has a passion for the history and culture of the medieval walled jewel of the Adriatic. The tour consists of four stops, three of which are savoury with wine and the final is a gelato finisher. At each stop Ana explained the wines and the dishes, and the relevance of them to authentic local cuisine. When moving between locations she also pointed out the best places to buy wine and food at the prices for locals not tourists which really helped us across our 8 day stay. Additionally she shared the history of the locations we passed including elements as light as GOT filming locations, to practical sites like the only school inside the walled city and the important sites and effects of the Croatian war of independence. Recommend doing this tour on your first day, it will pay dividends for the rest of your stay.James_C
