Full description

A stroll around Dubrovnik’s city walls is a must-do for every visitor to Croatia. The best way to see it is to come before everyone else does — so join this tour to get to the city walls as soon as the gates open, on either a shared or private tour. As you walk, learn from your guide about how the wall was built, sprinkled with exciting legends and funny tales. After climbing some steps, you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the main street Stradun and the skyline of the Old Town. Walk along 2 kilometers of the wall to enjoy beautiful landscapes of the sparkling Adriatic Sea and the skyline that still speaks of the splendor of a town that was a wealthy republic for 450 years. Six meters deep in some places, the walls are dotted with forts looking out to both sea and land. Your tour ends on the highest point along the wall, the top of Minceta Tower, where the view is not to be missed.

This was our second trip with Josip, our guide, and in summary he is engaging and amazing both as a person and a guide. He was able to answer many questions that we threw at him asking questions about the war or the walls or the conflict of histories between civilizations. We would wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

Ivana was the best your guide. We were a few minutes late but she was very patient with us. She made the tour so interesting and answered all questions we put to her She also give everyone time to stop and take photos and nothing ever seemed to be a problem. She gave us tips on places to eat and get ice cream as well. The restaurant we'd pizza in that night was 10 out of 10 and on her recommendation. We'd a small group which made it better and starting at 8am was the best time and it wasn't as busy then. Would recommend to anyone as a must your!

We had the best tour with Ivana - she went above and beyond to make it a great experience for us. She did a wonderful job incorporating a real sense of what it is to be from Dubrovnik along with the history of old town. Could not recommend this tour and Ivana enough. It was a wonderful way to experience the walls of old town!
