Highlights
  • Dubrovnik Walks - This is our meeting point, we all gather here, the guide briefly presents him/herself and off we go! 1,5 h DISCOVER THE OLD TOWN tour begins!

Dubrovnik never fails to awe the visitor; its streets paved with white limestone, its walls crowning the city, and its medieval sandstone-colored houses oozing with history.

This 1.5-hour guided walking tour takes you deep into the city’s 1,400-year history, recalling ancient tales when Dubrovnik was one of the world’s most prosperous port cites. It tells tales of war and lets the tour-goer in on the culture of the city.

After meeting in Pile area, in front of Sky bar, begin the journey through history and through Old Town. Pass the Franciscan Monastery and admire Orlando’s Column, a monument on the Stradun inspired by the city’s long-standing freedom and sovereignty. See, too, Onofrio’s Fountain, built in 1438 at the end of a 8-mile (12-km) aqueduct that gave the city its water supply.

The walk also passes by the Rector’s Palace, Sponza Palace and the Cathedral of the Assumption, a baroque church built after the devastating earthquake of 1667.

Apologies, previous... - Apologies, previous review for another tour. This tour was incredible! City walls are a must when visiting Dubrovnik. Tour guides were engaging and informative. Would recommend having a tour guide vs self tour unless reading up on city walls independently.

Excellent tour, well organized, must go! - Elena was a great tour guide! Well organized, funny, and overall smooth day even with it being a long tour - the day went by quickly. Mostar, we had a wonderful guide - Sasha as well, informative, funny, and engaging. Our driver, Dado, was patient and a safe driver despite hitting some traffic near the border on the way home. Overall, recommend this tour!

A solid, compact history experience! - Wonderful 1,5 h + 2h (old town + city walls walk) experience! Rich in history, informative and light at the time. Branko was attentive and is very good story teller. Made us feel part of the show asking questions and getting everyone involved. A true Croatian native, he brought us is own family experience with the Homeland War in the 90's, but in a very professional way. Impressive. I would truly recommend this journey.

I would not recommend - Not what I expected. It was more standing in the sun and he talked rather a lot. The guide talked very fast and I could not understand many things he was saying. Also, the second tour was starting after this one and we were asked to meet again at the main entrance. My recommendation is for the guide to come over where the first tour ends and continue the second tour instead of guests going back. Also, I was not feeling well and wanted not to go for the second tour. I contacted customer service at Viator and I was informed that the tour could not be canceled or credited. Next time I will not be booking two tours on the same day and will try to book when possible right before the tour starts.
