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.

Traveler reviews
Amazing Experience, Alex was lovely
Alex was an amazing guide. Even though it was our last evening in the city, we still got some really cool info about the History of the places we had already seen, and she gave us an amazing tip for where to have our goodbye dinner in the old town.
The Perfect Introduction to Dubrovnik
I had a fantastic 90-minute walking tour of Dubrovnik's Old Town. My guide, Alex, was outstanding—warm, humorous, and incredibly knowledgeable. What really made the tour special was how she brought the city's history to life by sharing her own experiences and personal stories. It made everything feel authentic and memorable. I highly recommend this tour!
