The 10 Best Cultural Tours in Dubrovnik, Dalmatia

July 5, 2021 Darleen Reid

Dubrovnik has recovered from the war damage it suffered during the 1990s, and visitors have returned to this tranquil city. Nestled between the Adriatic and the Dinaric Alps, it’s an accessible and affordable city break for many European travelers. The pedestrian-only Old Town is especially charming.

Stroll the best-preserved medieval fortified city in the world with a local, born in the very heart of it. Get introduced to the major city sights, evoke the glorious past times of the Republic of Dubrovnik and, at the same time, experience the real heartbeat of less than 1000 locals that still live within the City Walls. This small place, known for its diplomacy, commerce and shipbuilding, was a well-organized city. Almost every aspect of the social life was regulated already in the 14th c. Water supplying and sewage system, health service and garbage disposal service were organized and regulated. At the same time, peek into the hidden corners, in narrow and steep streets, where you will discover a real life of a small community that still lives in the UNESCO site in ancient homes, struggling with stairs and crowds, coping with strict conserving regulations and demands of tourism, balancing between the history and modern life. The tour can be extended for a walk over the City Walls.

Inclusions: Professional guide, Private tour

Tour was amazing, tour guide Andro who is also an owner of the tour company was fantastic. It was raining really bad during our tour he took us to a cafe to wait for rain to pass a bit and after he tried to fit everything in for us to have best experience. He was on time and was flexible with time because our cruise was a little late on time originally schedule for a tour. He made sure we were happy and wanted my kids and I to go places we wanted and answered all the questions we had plus had such a great knowledge of the history of the region. Made my girls and I fall in love with Montenegro thanks to Andro. I highly recommend this tour you will be highly satisfied! If I could give it 10 stars I would!

A walk over the city walls of Dubrovnik is a must-do for every visitor. This beautifully preserved walled city, surrounded by battlements erected over several centuries. Six metres deep in some places, the walls are dotted with forts looking out to both sea and land. Within, baroque churches and grand palaces speak of the splendour of a town that was once a wealthy republic in its own right. Listen to surprising facts, exciting legends and funny tales. All this while enjoying stupendous views of the sparkling Adriatic and the town skyline.  Learn about the past, turbulent events from more recent times and get to know Dubrovnik's Old Town from a different perspective.

Inclusions: Local tour guide

Exclusions: Entrance fee city walls: 200 Kuna for Adults, 50 Kuna for kids (age 7-17), These are current fees for season 2020. Prices may change from season to season.

We really enjoyed our Game of Thrones tour in Dubrovnik- our guide was very knowledgeable, had lots of interesting stories and carried a book to help remember which scenes were filmed on the location. We also had lots of non GoT related questions and he very kind in answering them with lots of details. Highly Recommend!!

It's not just showing you around and sharing intriguing stories, it's about fully immersing into the life of Dubrovnik people, today and centuries ago! Some of us grew up inside the walls and will gladly show you where we used to play as kids; you'll get to see interesting details and experience Dubrovnik in a whole new way.

I would like to thank Marko for an entertaining tour of Walls of Dubrovnik. Me and my husband were lucky enough to have a private tour. Marko's tour was very engaging and filled with interesting history trivia. He pointed out details of Dubrovnik that we'd definitely missed without him. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone because taking a walk on the walls was much more fun and memorable.

We booked the wine tasting tour not knowing what to expect .there was only four of us on the trip even when fully maximum of 8 person . Lovely wine guide called Tena who was very knowledgable not only about the wine but as a local the city and culture . We had a great day sampling wines which we would not have found if we had been alone . Well worth the cost will do again in the future and recommend to friends

Four of us took a day trip to Montenegro from Dubrovnik. Igor was our guide and was fantastic. We started off early in the morning stopping for coffee with a view, a visit to Perast, a drive up the mountain behind Kotor with a stop for drinks with a view to die for, then on to the village of Njegusi where we visited a local smokehouse and had a wonderful traditional lunch. We visited the old city of Kotor in the afternoon and then headed back to Dubrovnik. It was a full day spent in the good company of Igor, who was knowledgable, friendly and most of all, fun. The tour was reasonably priced and there was good communication with the company before the tour. They were even able to accommodate a last minute switch in tour days due to predicted bad weather. I would highly recommend using this company for a day trip to Montenegro.

Dubrovnik is an amazing city by day, but by night it is absolutely supreme. The beauty of the city comes to surface even more when the sun goes down and the public lights turn on.  Architecture is radiant, streets are not as crowded as they are during the day and it will be a completely different experience for you as you listen to some other stories about the life of medieval Ragusa.

My husband and I had a private tour with Michaela. It was the perfect introduction to Dubrovnik. We learned so much about the town’s history, the Homeland war, and of course the Game of Thrones filming locations and stories about the sets and cast. Michaela was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. It was an absolute delight to spend the afternoon with her!!

Davor was awesome! Highly recommend booking with him if you have the chance - his personal history meshed with the history of the ancient city walls was incredible.
