One of the most beautiful sacred buildings in Dubrovnik, the current Church of St. Blaise, was built in 1715 in the luxurious Venetian Baroque style.
The Rector’s Palace is a palace in the city of Dubrovnik that was the seat of the Rector of the Republic of Ragusa from the 14th century until 1808. It was also the seat of the smaller council and the state government. In addition, it housed an armory, a powder magazine, a guard house and a prison.
The Amerling Fountain in Dubrovnik is one of the finest works by Croatian sculptor Ivan Renditchi. It was installed in 1900 as a gift to the Amerling brothers’ hometown.
The four low-relief panels at the base of the monument depict the main episodes of Gundulić’s most important epic, Osman. Ivan Gundulić was born in 1589 in an old and respectable aristocratic family.
The natural starting point for a visit to Dubrovnik is this imposing city gate, built in 1537. Originally, there were only two entrances into the Dubrovnik old town. Pile Gate was the main one.
The tower is located in Luža Square at the end of Stradun and is 31 metres high.
Sponza is one of the most beautiful palaces in the city, which has preserved its original form. Built between 1516 and 1522, its form is reminiscent of what most of Dubrovnik’s public and private palaces might have looked like before the earthquake of 1667. The Sponza Palace takes its name from the word for the place where rainwater was collected, in accordance with the former use of the site on which it was built.

The experience was excellent. The app is GPS guided so it automatically starts narrating the points of interest as you go along.
Tech was very clunky & needed to contact support just to get it to function Plus it has things like Hard Rock Cafe & nightclubs, which overloads your journey, rather than just being able to see the actual interesting points
Thank you for contacting our support team. We didn't get automated notification from Viator, so we needed to activate your code manually. Sorry you needed to wait for few minutes. You can always filter out irrelevant objects on map.
Information is very dry and uninteresting. Feels like ChatGPT is reading from Wikipedia. I would not use it again.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that the experience of the audio can vary depending on the tour and the chosen language. In some cases, the content is recorded with professional human voices, and in others we use the highest-quality AI voices available. We’re continuously working to make the stories more engaging and enjoyable, and your input helps us improve.
Once in Dubrovnik old city walls the tour was good with just enough explanations andpbot to tell you what you should be looking at
Thank you very much for your positive feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tour once inside Dubrovnik’s Old City Walls. We’re continuously working to make our tours even better and more engaging, and your encouragement helps us keep improving.
I did not enjoy the automated script reading voice. I did not see an easy way to skip ahead. Poor compared to other system I've used (on road to Hana in Maui).
Thank you for your feedback. Not all tours and languages have human voice recordings available, and in those cases we use the highest quality AI voices to deliver the content. We’ll continue improving both the voice experience and navigation options, including skipping ahead more easily.
We purchased the self guided audio tour of Dubrovnik and were required to download the Navicup app, which received a well deserved 1 star review in the app store. Rather than provide a starting point for te tour, the app simply provides a map of the city and as you pass a point of interest it would start describing it. If you continued walking and passed a new point of interest a new audio file would start playing at the same time as the existing one. I was able to disable the auto play feature whihc left me with a map showing points of interest tht were so small that it was difficult to see what they were referring to, and some were plain text rather than audio. We eventually abandoned the audio tour and simply admired the sights on our own.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Our tours are designed without a fixed starting point so visitors can enter the old town and begin from any gate. We’re sorry to hear you encountered technical issues. The app should never play a new audio track before the previous one finishes, and we have not been able to reproduce this behavior so far, but we will definitely investigate further.
My husband and I used this guided tour app yesterday and it was unfortunately very glitchy. The app would start to repeat itself once it had started so you would hear the same thing three times. It would also start playing the next monument/buildings information on top of the one you were currently listening to. For some of the sites the audio would not play at all. This happened to both of us and was pretty frustrating at times. It should be a great experience and also a great alternative to standing with a tour group but it needs alot more work.
We’re very sorry to hear about the technical issues you experienced. We haven’t been able to reproduce this exact error yet, but our team will investigate it further. The app is designed so that each audio track should play through fully before the next one begins, and once a location has been visited the audio should not restart when returning to the same spot. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we’ll work hard to ensure this issue is resolved so future experiences run as smoothly as intended.
While this audio tour did give some narration to Dubrovnik old town, there was no suggested route for the tour and the voice sounded like an AI voice. Everything was described as 1. Being “in Dubrovnik” & 2. “Most important/significant” or “important part of Dubrovnik rich cultural heritage “ ie repetitive & not overly interesting. There were some stories associated with interest points but not enough. Too much description of the architecture but I guess for some that may be their interest. So summary - better than nothing but not much!
This tour was an accidental, very positive discovery!!! For the price, you can discover all of Dubrovnik the old city without getting stuck in a too slow tour, and the price was more than correct. It was a bit tricky getting it all working and I would advise to only activate once you are in the old city, or it will register as already used. But for $8, I just paid again as that was much cheaper than $50 to $100 for a tour guide. We were able to walk at our own pace and that was appreciated and based on the gps it because to talk about the buildings that we were around. I would HIGHLY recommend this, as you will save money and time. Then if you want a tour guide, you can pay for it.
Private Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour in Dubrovnik Old Town Took a long time to get started. We did not want to rely on the mobile app connectivity so asked for a written detail / map. The address shown to make contact when arriving at the location did not exist,(U1. Svetog Durda 1 ), so we floundered and 100's of people and tour suppliers did not make it easy. in the end we did manage to get enough info' from the mobile phone data, (no one answered the contact number agent (NAVICUP experiences}. After an hour wasted (coffee and thinking what to do next) we used just the one phone to stroll around and hearing the tour guide. YOU NEED EAR BUDs. We could not hear it with just phone speaker. Now 1,000s of people around. We managed some sort of tour using the detail we had, but we really only used one ticket and shared the one phone. (We had purchased two tickets) The techi bit was useful as it knows where you are walking and turns on the tour guide as you approach that point. Its a busy place and you need certainties before you get there. They could do much better to accommodate users and dodgy mobile use.
Thank you for comment. The self-guided tour in app does not have a meeting point, because the tour does not have a real guide. You can start and finish the tour where ever you want. Unfortunately, Viator's system requires us to specify a meeting place, even though it doesn't exist. We have tried to pay attention to this in the supplementary text. Also, the mobile application does not need an internet connection more than once, to download the digital guide.
