Crew members such as Emily and Darko have hosted some departures, but staff can vary.

“Overall it was fine, the gap between islands is about 15 minutes so you don’t actually go that far. The islands were beautiful and the trip was pretty good value for money. The skipper was a bit rude to me when I asked to come onto the boat about 10 minutes early, he asked why, and would t let me come on which I never experienced before. You can t jump off the boat and there is no swimming from the boat it all done when you reach the islands.

I had actually never watched Games of Thrones, but my father had and he had gone on this tour with me. Despite not watching the show, I still had a great time...the locations were beautiful and the 'behind-the-scenes' information was so interesting to learn about. Desa was an amazing guide who had tons of knowledge about both the show and the Dubrovnik history and area. I recommend this tour for anyone looking to see lots of Dubrovnik, and especially GOT fans.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 233 reviews · from $64Best value

The small-group trip includes a captain, English- or Croatian-speaking guide, snorkeling masks, cold appetizers, and drinks. Lunch is extra, and rough seas can prevent a Blue Cave visit.

“It was a lovely day out on the water. I had thought there might be more opportunities to swim along the way, however the blue cave and Lopud were the two main swimming stops. It was plenty of time to explore each location and we did not feel rushed at all. It would’ve been good if we had a bit more commentary about what we were saying as we were travelling around.”

They lend out a Go pro and will email pictures and videos after excursion. Guide could have done a better job explaining what islands we were visiting and what to do. This day was one of my college girls favorite day. BOWA restaurant was very nice for lunch. Be prepared for a 3-4 course meal and paying a bit more, but it’s nice and i would recommend it.

Dubrovnik: Full-Day Total Game of Thrones Experience

11.Full-Day Total Game of Thrones Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 122 reviews · 7 hours · from $100

Spend seven hours linking Game of Thrones locations with Dubrovnik’s history. The route takes in Lovrijenac, Old Town, Lokrum’s Iron Throne, Trsteno Arboretum and Mount Srđ. Guides such as Roko, Darko and Desa have led tours, but your guide is assigned on the day. The $100 price excludes several entry fees, the Lokrum boat ticket and lunch.

“Nice tour with lots of insider’s stories about the filming as well. It really is GoT focused but it would have been nice to mix in more of the history of the city as well. The day we went was rainy in the morning as well as windy so the ferry to Lokrum was not operating and we unfortunately didn’t get to see the Iron Throne which was a massive disappointment. Because of this the tour lasted 4h instead of 7h and we didn’t really get replacement sights so that was a bit disappointing as well. The guide was lovely and knowledgeable.”
