Itinerary
Meeting our licensed tour guide by the 'Dubravka 1836' restaurant at Pile Square marks the start of your exclusive 'Game of Thrones' tour. Placed right outside the Old Town city walls, this spot is just perfect not only for providing you with introductory details about the tour, but also for drawing your attention to some of the city attractions you will hear more about later on the tour: the Pile Gate, the Old Town city walls, the Lovrijenac fort.
Nicknamed 'the Dubrovnik Gibraltar', but also known as the Red Keep among the Game of Thrones fans, the Lovrijenac fortress rises on a cliff outside the Old Town city walls, 37 m (121 ft) above sea level. Built in the 11th century within just three months' time, this fort symbolizes the resistance to the Venetian Republic. Visiting the Lovrijenac fortress on this walking tour is a chance for you to enjoy many impressive views of the capital of the Seven Kingdoms.
Passing through the Pile Gate, the western entrance to the Old Town, you will reach the historical core of Dubrovnik. Walking through its streets and alleys, you will be walking through the spots where they actually filmed the scenes. A guide will take you to many different filming locations from the show, also providing interesting information and facts about Dubrovnik.
A part of this exclusive experience is a walk along the city walls. The city walls of Dubrovnik are a series of defensive stone walls surrounding the Old Town. Built from the 13th to the 17th century and almost 2 km (1,24 mi) long, these walls represent one of the most beautiful fortification systems in Europe. At some points, their height reaches 25 m (82 ft), so a walk along the walls is a must if you want to see those red rooftops of King's Landing or simply look out over Blackwater Bay.
Upgrade to include a trip to Trsteno Arboretum and after just a short drive in a comfortable vehicle you will find yourself in one of the oldest arboretums in Croatia. Rich in thousands of trees and exotic plants and interesting architecture, this park was used as the King's Landing's palace gardens. Enjoy the greenery and incredible views while your guide gives you details about this outstanding filming location.

Only slight negative comment was that Viator stated the start point was the local booking agent's office. We were lucky that we contacted the tour guide on the morning and she told us that the start was at the Pile Gate. Ivana was brilliant - such a "Throney" herself she was so knowledgeable but also found time to throw in some history of Croatia and Dubrovnik. The tour only lasted about 2 hours but the price did include entry to the city walls which you can do in your own time at the end. Overall highly recommended
Kruno went above and beyond to give the group the most thorough , interesting, exciting tour ever. My husband and I couldn’t recommend it enough ….you will not be disappointed in the slightest . This tour ultimately made our holiday ! 😎🎉
Kruno was excellent. However I misunderstood what we were getting. I thought we had a 3 hour guided tour but it was 2 hours. That was ok but just misleading. I thought we were going to the island as part of the tour. You do get passes for the walk after the tour which I also misunderstood. But that was a good par. We bought the passes before and if I had known the tour would allow me to also walk the wall I would not have bought those passes In the end kruno was excellent. He have more info than just GoT
Lana was an absolutely fabulous guide!!! She gave us so much information and was very patient along the way!! We asked for recommendations for gelato and restrains she was very helpful!! She was so pleasant and gave us tips for touring the walls and lots about Game of Thrones!!! Highly recommend this tour and Lana!!!!!
The tour exceeded our expectations! The tour guide Branko is a true fan and shared a lot of behind the scenes spicy facts from when he was communicating with the cast in old city. Very relaxed and interesting, highly recommend Branko for this tour. Thank you!
