What To Expect
Dubrovnik Walks
This is our meeting point, we all gather here, the guide briefly presents him/herself and off we go! 1,5 h 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.

5.00Must do before exploring city on your own. Guide Branco gave us a great intro to the old city, the history from ancient times to the recent war, which he lived through as a child. Appreciated the ear phones, could hear everything despite other groups and crowds. Highly recommend.

5.00This is a MUST do tour while in Dubrovnik. We had previously walked the city walls & meandered the city streets on our own but to have such a knowledge and passionated guide as Branko to show us around & explain some of the incredible history and intricacies of the Old City really made it all come alive. Can highly recommend this walking tour. 10/10

Quality tour with excellent guide

5.00Excellent. Our tour guide (Branko) was friendly and knowledgeable. We were encouraged to ask questions if we had them and he made time to answer them. It was extremely interesting to get lived experience from the war. The pace of the tour was good and we covered the history of Dubrovnik from settlement through to present day. The hour and a half went quickly and we finished in the old harbour. The tour is mainly on the level, but it’s an old city so there will be steps and uneven surfaces. We felt the tour offered value for money. Ear pieces provided are great, essential in some areas if busy.
