Itinerary
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.
We stop in Brsalje square for a brief summary of the tour, together with some basic point on what we are going to talk about and what we are goindg to see on the tour. We do not enter any facilities.

Great Way to See Old Town
Branko was an amazing guide who combined history with personal stories that made the experience memorable. He’s passionate and knowledgeable about Croatia and made the tour fun. Would recommend!
Great walking tour if Dubrovnik - thanks Bronco!!!
A brilliant tour, the tour guide - Bronco was very good and engaging. A great overview of Dubrovnik.
A Dubrovnik must do, early on...
I've done many guided walking tours and this was possibly the best! Gorun was a wealth of endless information about the history of the republic of Dubrovnik - with much passion that can only come from a local . Highly recommended! Do it on your 1st day so from then you can plan what else to do, based on Gorun's advice.
Branko was an amazing guide! Excellent walking tour
