Itinerary
The word Pile is derived from the Greek pilai which means door from which we can conclude that for centuries Pile gate has been (and still is) the main entrance to the city.
Built in the late 15th century for the elected rector who governed Dubrovnik, this Gothic-Renaissance palace contains the rector’s office and private chambers, public halls, administrative offices and a dungeon.
Stradun or Placa is the main street of Dubrovnik, Croatia. The limestone-paved pedestrian street runs some 300 metres through the Old Town, the historic part of the city surrounded by the Walls of Dubrovnik.

I really enjoyed the private Old Town tour. It was informative, well-paced, and never felt rushed. My guide Mia shared fascinating history and local insights, making the city come alive. It was a wonderful way to explore and learn about Croatia’s rich heritage. Highly recommended!
Very informative our guide Vlaho was extremely knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the city and its culture and history. He also gave us some great recommendations. We had a fantastic lunch after the tour. We appreciate the energy of such a knowledgeable local guide
We had an excellent time with Markos, our guide, showing us around his beautiful city. Would highly recommend.
Vesna was a wonderful tour guide for my family. She knew so much about the history and the current neighborhood culture
Excellent walking tour. Mari was very knowledgeable, excellent English ! Highly recommend! Not too strenuous.
We absolutely loved our Hidden Gems Dubrovnik tour with Karmen. She was amazing! Friendly, informative, engaging - she’s the whole package! Would highly recommend Karmen to anyone who wants a fabulous tour of the old city of Dubrovnik! 10/10!!
Quick jaunt in the city and we had a day during a cruise stop and why not??! We loved the historical aspect and had a blast! It gave us time after to hit a private beach club to swim and tab. Wonderful experience!
Our experience was wonderful! We learned so much from our guide, a native of Dubrovnik, which made the tour even more special. Highly recommend starting with a walking tour before exploring the sites on your own.
We had the most WONDERFUL tour with Karmen! She was smart, knowledgeable and kind - even giving my son tips for his upcoming semester at the University of Dubrovnik. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!!
Please don’t pass up this incredible, culturally rich experience in Montenegro. We had an unexpected delay when our cruise ship made a last-minute stop to help a medically distressed passenger, which pushed our arrival into port back significantly. Despite the sudden change, the communication with the tour company was kind, flexible, and incredibly patient. They stayed in touch frequently and adjusted plans smoothly, which we truly appreciated. We were blown away by the hospitality and the depth of local culture shared with us. The food in Montenegro is absolutely amazing — and the locally cured hams are unforgettable! You can truly taste the tradition and care that goes into them. Kotor itself is a gem — historically rich, breathtakingly beautiful, and full of character. We were left wanting more and are already dreaming about returning to explore even deeper. Highly recommend this tour and this company — they go above and beyond to make your visit to Montenegro something truly special.
