A tour to remember - We booked this tour in the afternoon and it was a success. It leaves from Puerto Gruz and we have been very lucky to go practically alone in this boat wonder. People do the tour backwards, in my review a mistake. You leave at 18:00 from Puerto Gruz, watch the sunset from Karaka as you arrive in the old town of Dubrovnik. You arrive at 19 and visit the old town in our case with Indira a very competent Guide with a high level of English that is valued. You tour the streets in much less heat than if you were in the morning and dine there with an amazing atmosphere and a super nice temperature.

Worth taking the tour - We enjoyed the Karaka ship tour very much. The captain and the crew gave us an unique experience and an unforgettable memory. The walking tour with Ana was one of the best ad-on. She opened up her tour with a lot of stories and she introduced us to the city. We learned a lot from the tour and love the city even more.
