The Wars To Come
The Game of Thrones Season 5 has finally started and so has the touring season in Dubrovnik! This is also one of the reasons why I haven’t been posting anything for a while, but I’ll do my best to be up to date as the… Continue reading
Word of mouth
I have always held that the “word of mouth” is the best form of advertising. This notion has been confirmed once again last Friday when another satisfied Game of Thrones fan recommended our tour to his friend that visited Dubrovnik as a part of… Continue reading
