We enjoyed this tour.
We loved hitting the highlights and getting an overview on our first trip to this area. We recommend this tour. Especially for first time visitors.

Book separate tours!
Our guide was very good, but it was way too expensive for what we received. The ticket for the wall was only good for the day we took the tour. It did include a ticket for the cable car, but it would have been way, way, way less expensive if we did the cable car on our own and bought the Dubrovnick pass for the wall which was also done on our own. I would recommend you do those two separately and just do a city tour. We also took the GOT tour which was really good value for the money spent. While our guide was excellent, the value was not.

Very knowledgable guide and great history, maybe not the best value tour given much of the tour is done independently.
We enjoyed the Dubrovnik Cable Car Ride and Old Town Walking Tour, particularly the spectacular views over Dubrovnik and the Adriatic. Our guide, Elvis, was knowledgeable and engaging, with a strong focus on the Old Town's history. His commentary added useful context and brought many of the city’s landmarks and stories to life. However, the guided portion finishes after about two and a half hours at the top of Mount Srđ. From there, you complete the city walls walk and the return cable car journey independently, at your own pace. This flexibility may suit some visitors, but it made the experience feel less comprehensive than expected. The tour is also more expensive than some smaller-group alternatives that cover more sights and provide more guided time. Overall, it was a good, informative tour with an excellent guide, but the value and inclusions are worth comparing with other options before booking.

Beautiful City
City was amazing. Your guide was very sweet but hard to understand. She talked a lot but hard when you can’t understand very well. Also seemed very disorganized. Hard to follow what she was saying as well as negotiating very busy areas with other tours and all directions and she would just start walking so you had to be very alert and pay attention. She didn’t hold anything up so when other groups were merging and criss crossing, you weren’t always clear where you were following. I think the tour would have been better with a different guide for our party of 6. We were all a little frustrated.

Cable car and walking tour with Elvis
We did this today. It was fantastic.. our guide was Elvis and he was absolutely awesome. He was fun, pleasant and knew his stuff.. he answered everyone’s questions and he was very patient with all. If you want to learn about old town Elvis and this tour are the perfect way to do it.

Dubrovnik Cable Car Ride and Old Town Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Dubrovnik Cable Car Ride and Old Town Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $158 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubrovnik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dubrovnik Cable Car Ride and Old Town Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubrovnik is not rushed.
Is Dubrovnik Cable Car Ride and Old Town Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 724 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubrovnik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dubrovnik Cable Car Ride and Old Town Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dubrovnik Cable Car Ride and Old Town Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubrovnik Cable Car Ride and Old Town Walking Tour?
+
Around 253 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubrovnik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubrovnik and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubrovnik Cable Car Ride and Old Town Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubrovnik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubrovnik?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubrovnik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubrovnik: Game of Thrones Walking Tour, Dubrovnik: 7 Caves & Blue Cave Speedboat Tour (4h), Dubrovnik: Sunset Kayaking & Snorkeling with water &wine. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubrovnik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubrovnik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Not included: Guided tour of the City Walls (self-guided only); Food and beverages; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
