Dubrovnik Walks
This is our meeting point, we all gather here, the guide briefly presents him/herself and off we go! 1,5 h tour begins! Dubrovnik never fails to awe the visitor; its streets paved with white limestone, its walls crowning the city, and its medieval sandstone-colored houses oozing with history. This 1.5-hour guided walking tour takes you deep into the city’s 1,400-year history, recalling ancient tales when Dubrovnik was one of the world’s most prosperous port cites. It tells tales of war and lets the tour-goer in on the culture of the city. After meeting in Pile area, in front of Sky bar, begin the journey through history and through Old Town. Pass the Franciscan Monastery and admire Orlando’s Column, a monument on the Stradun inspired by the city’s long-standing freedom and sovereignty. See, too, Onofrio’s Fountain, built in 1438 at the end of a 8-mile (12-km) aqueduct that gave the city its water supply. The walk also passes by the Rector’s Palace, Sponza Palace and the Cathedral of the Assumption, a baroque church built after the devastating earthquake of 1667.

Great walking tour of the...
Great walking tour of the historic town. Learned a ton. The day was super busy and there were a ton of tourists, but Dovor maneuvered us like a champ! Earlier in the day probably would have been better. Don’t skip the walls (not on this tour). They’re spectacular.

Dubrovnik Old Town Tour
Excellent tour of Dubrovnik Old Town with Branko. His commentary and tour was full of humour especially when describing the past rivalry with Venice and also poignant describing the war during the 1990s and personal perspective on his family. The recounting of history and description of the architecture was outstanding. Would highly recommend.
