Dubrovnik: City Wall Tour for Early Birds to beat the crowds
Description
The early morning start allows you to experience Dubrovnik’s magnificent city walls before the crowds arrive. During the peak summer season, the cooler temperatures make the walk much more comfortable and enjoyable, while the soft morning light and quieter pathways create ideal conditions for memorable photos. Along the way, a licensed local guide will bring Dubrovnik’s story to life, from its golden age to the present day. You will learn about the wars and sieges that shaped the city, its remarkable resilience, and the modern-day challenges it faces. Highlights include breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea and the unforgettable skyline of Dubrovnik’s Old Town. Note: the entrance fee to the city wall is not included in the price of the tour.

Lots of steps and walking but well worth it for the views and history of Dubrovnik. Can get very hot during the middle of the day!!!
Darko was a fantastic guide who made the trek across the walls very interesting. I feel like I know so much more about Dubrovnik and Croatia, and got to see many beautiful things.
Our guide Darko was amazing!!!
Very nice tour. Our guide was very informative, knowledgable and friendly. Meeting was very clear and easy.
This was a walking tour along the top of Dubrovnik’s centuries-old fortified city walls. It was very hot and we went up and down over a thousand stairs. Our guide Davor gently encouraged us to keep going, however, so we could see the great views of the city and the sea. He had us stop at pre-selected points to rest as well as to take photographs. Davor’s stamina was amazing, especially as he was giving information to us almost constantly while he led us up and down around the entire wall. He was a font of knowledge and eager to share it with us. Not surprisingly, he spoke with a Croatian accent — but his command and use of English was excellent. Highly recommend!
We had a great time exploring on this tour. Morning is the perfect time and it was a small group so perfect for asking questions. Our guide, Davor was engaging and super knowledgeable. Highly recommend
Davor was a great guide for the history of Dubrovnik and the walls! I would highly recommend doing this while you are here. This activity is best during the morning or later afternoon. I wouldn’t recommend small children go on a guided tour here. Also, I’m sure it says but a ticket for the wall is not included. I recommend getting the Dubrovnik city pass instead of a ticket just for the wall.
Davor was so fun and extremely knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Definitely a must do and if you come in summer, do the tour first thing in the morning.
Davor was a brilliant guide with fantastic knowledge and a sense of humour. We learnt so much history & there were plenty of stops to cool down. Highly recommend
Great way to explore the walls. Friendly, knowledgable guide Davor made it interesting and fun. Would recommend.
