The experience

I’ll admit, I booked this private sightseeing tour in Dubrovnik mostly because of the car: a shiny black Ford Model T (well, an electric replica, but still). There’s something about rolling through those old city gates in a car that looks like it belongs in sepia photos. Our guide, Ivana, greeted us with this easy smile and the kind of calm you only get from someone who actually loves their city. She waved us into the back seat and off we went, right past Pile Gate where the stones are worn smooth from centuries of footsteps. The engine was almost silent except for a faint hum, not what I expected at all. It made it easier to hear her stories about Dubrovnik’s sieges and summer festivals.

The air changed as we climbed up towards Srđ Hill. You could smell pine and something salty on the breeze, maybe from Sveti Jakov Beach below. Ivana pointed out the cable car line snaking up to the fort and told us how locals used to hike it before tourists started crowding in. At one point she stopped talking just so we could listen: church bells echoing across red rooftops, gulls somewhere overhead. I got goosebumps for no real reason except that sometimes a place just gets under your skin like that. The view from Srđ Hill is supposed to be “the best,” but honestly it’s more than that. It’s like seeing the whole city exhale at once.

We trundled down again past Lapad’s promenade (kids running around with ice cream), then paused at the Dr. Franjo Tuđman Bridge terrace. The wind whipped up here (my hair was everywhere), but you could see all the way out to Port Gruž and tiny villages tucked into olive groves. Ivana showed us where her grandfather used to fish. She laughed when I tried to pronounce Babin Kuk peninsula (“not even close,” she said). There was a monument for fallen defenders near Batala too: quiet moment there, names carved sharp into stone.

The last bit was slower, drifting along King Zvonimir promenade with sun slipping lower and locals waving as we passed by in our odd little car. I didn’t expect to feel so much just sitting in a backseat while someone else drove, but here we are. If you’re looking for a day trip around Dubrovnik that feels both classic and kind of personal, this is probably it.
