HOW TO FIND US
The meeting point is located just outside the cruise port gate. After you exit the security fence, walk straight ahead into the stone corridor that connects the port with the city entrance.
Our staff will be waiting for you in the middle of this corridor — you do not need to walk all the way to the city side.

HOW IT WORKS
This is a private shore excursion — your group travels together from start to finish. Transportation is provided by modern, closed coaches with climate control for your comfort.
A professional local guide accompanies you throughout the tour and explains each location using the onboard microphone system. The coach remains available at every stop, so you can rest inside if you prefer instead of walking.
Each stop includes planned free time, and restroom facilities are available along the route. The schedule is carefully designed to fit your cruise timing.
Before or after the excursion, you will also have time to explore the old town area on your own — a pedestrian zone that must be visited on foot. Our guides will gladly give you practical tips so you don’t miss the most important sights.
