Dubrovnik : Ontdek de Oude Stad Wandeltocht

Our ticket included two tours: 1) City wall and 2) old city walking tour. I am going to talk about them separately. We had same tour guide for both: Goron and he was great. 1) City wall tour: Must Do! The tour includes ticket into wall. The tour lasts about 2 hours- all outdoors and lots of stairs but very manageable. Goron is a wonderful historian and story teller. We didn’t really know anything about Dubrovnik (and we are not Game of Thrones fans) so it was all new to us and the views are breathtaking. Your ticket gets you into other museum but we didn’t have time. 2) Old City Tour- I would either skip or not do back to back with city wall tour. We were there on a cruise stop so time was limited. Between these 2 tours and another one we had later, there wasn’t much down time to walk around on our own and explore or just take a rest from 2 hour city wall tour.

One of the best walking tours I’ve been to globally and it was all thanks to the knowledge and the care of our guide Branko. First all, the headsets helped a lot given how crowded the streets were. Branko had immense knowledge of Croatian history and showed passion and captured our interests the entire time. His own personal history with the war in Yugoslavia and escape to Croatia just made the history richer and more heart breaking. He even went the extra mile and took some on a side tour afterward for the Jewish history. I could not recommend Branko enough. Next time, I would book a private tour with him!

We toured the old town with Branko. Highly recommend! Fascinating.

With our great tour guide Branko we took this tour at the end of June. He told us lots about the ancient and more recent history of Dubrovnik old town and the country of Croatia. He included personal anecdotes that made the stories very relatable. Branko took care to keep us out of the very hot sun whenever he could and reminded everyone to stay hydrated. At €40 for two people it isn’t cheap but it will give you a great deal of information and a good idea of how the city works.

This tour is a must if you want a brief history of Dubrovnik. Branko, our guide was great. He explains the sights of Dubrovnik in detail and with a hint of humour. Well worth the €20 per adult price tag. Bring water and wear sensible shoes. We did the tour when the weather was 32 degrees and can be oppressive within the stone walls.

A very nice tour with Branko who was very informative.

We had a fantastic walking tour with Marko as our guide. He was knowledgable and also really funny. The pace of the tour was just right in the summer heat. We stopped at various shady points in the city and Marko led us through a brief history also signposting museums where we could do a deeper dive if we wanted. Our ear pieces worked really well and meant we could hear every word even in the busy areas of the tour. Marko could answer all the additional questions and was brilliant at recommending the “top 3 ice cream shops” at the end of the tour. I felt the tour was very well priced and have done lots of walking tours in Europe. I love tours and history so could have done lots more, but my husband (who hates crowds and people) feels it was just right and also really enjoyed it! Tour group was just the right size.

We had a quick stroll in the old town before the tour but believe me after this tour, it will be much more fun to spend time in the old town. This tour doesn’t contain any steps, instead you’ll be hearing many stories/legends from Alex. She is extremely passionate storyteller and since she is also a local, there are lots of useful tips she share.

Branco was a very good guide. He was friendly and knew a lot of the history of the old town. Took the time to amswer your questions.

Absolutely worthwhile - really informative and the guide gave us valuable insights you wouldn’t get from wandering around ourselves. Branko was an awesome guide - knew his stuff, but injected a great mix of humour and knowledge into the day.
