Panoramic Tour - Dubrovnik - Can taxis fit 6?

[cruisin'sz]

Are there any taxis by the port that accomodate 6 passengers in Dubronik or must be take separate cabs if we wish to do the panoramic tour when we get off the ship? Also, how long is the tour?

Most of the cabs will only do four passengers. Some tighter, some not quite as close. Maybe, you could get lucky with more of a van type of vehicle, if and if, but that's not guaranteed. It is about an hour for the Panoramic trip. Below are more details, plus added pictures, etc.

 

Super loved Dubrovnik!!! See more details and lots of great visual samples/examples at this link. Have had over 9,725 views on this posting and appreciate those who have tuned-in and dropped by.

Did a June 7-19, 2011, Solstice cruise from Barcelona that had stops in Villefranche, ports near Pisa and Rome, Naples, Kotor, Venice and Dubrovnik. Enjoyed great weather and a wonderful trip. Dozens of wonderful visuals with key highlights, tips, comments, etc., on these postings. We are now at 104,312 views for this live/blog re-cap on our first sailing with Celebrity and much on wonderful Barcelona. Check these postings and added info at:

We started in Dubrovnik with a local cab driver who gave us a “panoramic tour”, including crossing this unique bridge near the main cruise ship docking area. He called this bridge their “Golden Gate” like in San Francisco. It is nine years old. You can see the Solstice docked to the right side and other newer housing around this bay NW of the historic walled city.:

 

 

 

Then we drove up and up through narrow twisting roads to the high point overlooking Dubrovnik and near the cable car high station. From this point, we could also see part of Bosnia and and Montenegro. The “super star” view was down below with this angle of the harbor and walled city. Beautiful!!!:

 

 

 

This is Dubrovnik’s Pile Gate as the grand western entrance to the walled city.:

 

 

 

Here is the view of the Cable Car going down from the high point over Dubrovnik with interesting areas and islands west of the city shown. This cable car has been re-built since the early 1990’s war years. It’s a dramatic coastline with great views here!:
