Dubrovnik City Walls Tour for Early Birds or Sunset Chasers
Description
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. Remark: Please note that the entrance fee to the city walls is not included in the price of the tour. We recommend to check out the Dubrovnik Pass for your visit to Dubrovnik, because it includes many entrance fees, one of which is the city wall.

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.
It was a great tour, informative, interesting and lovely group of people. The guide has patience snd sense of humor.
This was an informative and spectacular tour that encapsulated the turbulent history and resilience of the Croatian people to which the impressive walls stand testament. Davour, our guide was both knowledgeable and engaging. The stairs are challenging, but his pacing and eloquence helped distract from the strain. I would highly recommend the sunset tour when the weather is a bit cooler and the panoramic views were breathtaking. The Dubrovnik pass and guided tour fee was steep and not everyone can afford to spend that on one segment of a trip. For us it was a once in a lifetime experience that gave us a good insight into the history, ingenuity and endurance of the people of this proud nation. The tour was highly effective, well organized and having our headphones and transceiver really helped us clearly hear Davour's very engaging account of the events that lead to the building of the walls, the determination and pride of the people to be a democracy that valued individual rights. We found Davour to be extremely personable, open to questions, articulate, clear, very well informed along with a great sense of humour. So all in all, I would highly recommend him as your guide for this tour.
Our tour was cancelled the day before because not enough people signed up. Very disappointing. We’ve used Viator for many years and this is only the second time this has happened. We’ve always been happy with the tours we have taken and will still use Viator in the future.
Amazing start to our time in Dubrovnik! The walls are absolutely beautiful before sunset. I would highly recommend this tour. Be warned, you need to purchase the Dubvronik Pass to get into the walls. It is not included in this tour. The pass is a great way to see several sites in Dubvronik. However, you can only visit each place once even if you have a multi-day pass. So be sure to stay on the walls as long as possible after the tour ends. We had about 20 minutes with hardly anyone there before the staff asked us to leave and the pictures are unreal.
Ivo our guide was wonderful, very friendly and knowledgeable about Dubrovnik and it's history, we really enjoyed our tour thank you Ivo
