Tour The Game of Throne - Private Driving Tour
Description
Unlike many other tours around Dubrovnik, our tour is COMPLETELY PRIVATE and it focuses on your traveler's own preferences. The tour is not really set in stone and is designed to cover both facts (from compelling history of Dubrovnik) and fiction (details about the filming) all while following the iconic locations from the Game of Thrones. All of our guides are SKILLED professionals that are licensed by the Croatian Ministry of Tourism and are great fans of the Game of Thrones and the Song of Ice and Fire book series. Few of our guides are FORMER EXTRAS from the Game of Thrones so you'll have a chance to learn how your and our favorite show was filmed from first hand.

Itinerary
Bosanka village on the Mt of St Serge (or Srđ in Croatian) is one of the filming points above the Old Town of Dubrovnik where the two filming scenes took place (Tyrion waiting for the Dornish party and Brienne's farewell to Jaime). Apart from that, it offers great panoramic views of the Old Town of Dubrovnik.
The Trsteno Arboretum complex of renaissance gardens is one of the most frequent filming locations outside the Old Town. It is a home to numerous scenes involving the Tyrell family (Lady Olenna, Margaery and Loras) as well as some other characters from the GOT (Jaime and Bronn swordfight training, Oberyn and Cersei negotiation before Tyrion's trial, etc...). Apart from being used as a memorable location from the show, the Trsteno Arboretum is the oldest and the biggest monument of garden architecture in Croatia. Dating back to 1494, it is a former aristocratic estate with an abundance of plant life (around 500 different species from several climatic zones).
The defunct hotel Belvedere, near the St Jacob beach (Sveti Jakov in Croatian) is one of the most intriguing filming locations in the Game of Thrones - the site of the infamous Trial by Combat between prince Oberyn and the Mountain! This modern edifice that dates back to 1985 was only in operation for 6 years when it got damaged during the siege of Dubrovnik in 1991-1992. The lower plateau of the hotel was skillfully adapted in 2014 by the HBO to serve as the arena where overly cocky prince Oberyn met his untimely demise by the Mountain in the most gruesome way (an eye-popping and mind-blowing scene from the GOT season 4)

Excellent tour with very friendly and knowledgeable guide. If you’re looking for a private experience away from the crowds, I highly recommend this tour!
We went with my sister and brother in law on the GOT tour with Tom. This tour was recommended to us and Tom went above and beyond our expectations. Tom showed us all of Dubrovnik then we did a walking tour of the walled city. Even after our tour was over, he came back to pick us up, take us for sunset photos and return us to our cruise ship. We have already recommended him to others who will be heading over. By far best tour we have been on. Thanks Tom for a fantastic day and great memories.
This tour was fabulous. We learned so much history about Dubrovnik and Croatia, and also got to see many filming sites from Game of Thrones. Tom is a wonderful host and I would highly recommend that anyone visiting Dubrovnik take one of his tours.
Tom's GOT tour was fantastic. We did a combined driving tour as well as walking tour of Dubrovnik (including walking the city wall). Tom brought to life the various scene's and then flexed to specific sites and locations that we wanted to see and did it flawlessly. Next time we are in Dubrovnik, we will look to use Tom for other tours that he offers.
We had a wonderful Game of Thrones tour with Tom. He brought us to so many beautiful filming locations outside the walls of old town Dubrovnik. We especially loved the beautiful gardens. If you are a GOT fan this tour is a must. If not, you will enjoy the amazing scenery that Tom shares with you on this journey. We highly recommend this tour. Thanks Tom!
We had a great time with Tom on this Game of Thrones tour. He showed us so many locations where the show was filmed outside of the old town city walls. We especially loved the beautiful gardens. We would recommend this tour to any GOT lovers.
The tour my husband and I went on was only in English. Despite this, the skill and patience of the guide were fundamental to make the whole group understand the beauty of the places and all the interventions used by the crew in the organization of the shooting. Try it!
We just spent 2 1/2 hours with Karmen and it went so quickly. She covered all the game of thrones sites and also history of Dubrovnik and Croatia. She is obviously well Educated and manages to Put the information over in a way that’s not too much, so no Brain overload with too many names and dates as you sometimes find. It was definitely worth booking the personal tour rather than the group. She is also great with the camera, she ensures you get the best shot and seems to Enjoy doing that too. We would definitely recommend her and this tour to anyone who loves game of thrones or Croatian/ Dubrovnik history.
Our tour guide was Marko who totally made the experience. Brilliant knowledge and an excellent communicator. Always welcomed questions and answered them honestly. My girlfriend had never watched seasons 1-7, (although she watched bits of Season 8) but enjoyed the tour as it included facts not just about GoT but the history of Dubrovnik also. We went over to Lokrum Island which is simply a MUST! Along with just being an amazing island, it has an Iron Throne replica which is cool to have some photos and show off on social media. Cannot recommend this tour enough for big GoT fans - however especially Lokrum Island, which is incredible is worth the money alone.
What a fab fab tour with Tonka. We had young children as well as some GoT enthusiasts. Tonka managed to keep all of us interested for the entire couple of hours. She gave us a great overview of the history of the city, architecture as well as the importance of Dubrovnik as a town by the waters. Tonka was a GoT extra so my Husband enjoyed chatting about the shooting of GoT and the actors she met. Definately book her if in Dubrovnik!!
