Dubrovnik City Walls
We will stop to buy the city walls tickets and then we will walk the city walls. Marvel at the beautiful blue colors of the Adriatic Sea and admire breathtaking views of the port and the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while your guide takes you through the history of the city walls. In the 11th century, the sea channel separating the city from mainland was covered up with earth, so a single wall was built to enclose the present-day Old Town. The city walls have been restored several times in history to resemble their original appearance. With your guide, see Fort Revelin and Minceta Tower within the city walls (entrance fees not included), and learn the strategic position of these forts and their role in Dubrovnik's history. You will also see Fort Lovrijenac in the distance, the only fort that belongs to the city walls but it's physically separated from them, and which you may visit after the tour. As you wander around Dubrovnik's ancient walls, your guide will explain the defensive and political challenges faced by Dubrovnik in the past. Hear stories of the rivalry and conquest Dubrovnik has faced and learn the secrets of how the country used defensive fortifications and diplomacy to remain an independent republic for several years, before ending your tour near the port. *Entrance fee to City Walls not included in price.

Expansive entrance fee but view is priceless
Ancient city wall was absolutely magnificent! The tour does not included the entrance fee of ancient wall. The entrance fee was 40 euros in my opinion that is too much money . Medieval stone fortifications, terracotta rooftops, the Adriatic Sea, and Old Town. We viewed the Pile Gate, Ploče Gate, and the Old Port area. Dubrovnik Pass is also the same price but included more attractions so if you want to save some money buy Dubrovnik Pass instead.
via Tripadvisor
good tour but be prepared to purchase tickets to do the wall
The tour was very interesting and the guide did a good job of explaining the politics of the past wars, that being said, you still needed to pay for the wall so the title is a little misleading.
via Tripadvisor
Gorgeous views and great guide!
Excellent guide. Lots of steep steps—all should be warned. Best if you keep up with guide and don’t fall behind; earbuds don’t work well if not close. Lots of fascinating history and information was shared.

Very interesting tour,...
Very interesting tour, thank you to Davor who told many historical stories and held our captivation for a total of 3.5 hours across both tours. A great balance of humour, facts and reminder of all that the Croatian people have been through across the centuries (and also more recently in my lifetime). highly recommend this tour!

I believe our guide was Mara. The tour was fabulous. Her knowledge was extensive about the attraction. This is definitely well worth the money and a must see tour.

Why this scores 89
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubrovnik Combo Tour: Old Town & Ancient City Walls: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Dubrovnik Combo Tour: Old Town & Ancient City Walls cost?
+
Prices start at €18 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 Combo Tour: Old Town & Ancient City Walls take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Combo Tour: Old Town & Ancient City Walls worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,240 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Dubrovnik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dubrovnik Combo Tour: Old Town & Ancient City Walls?
+
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 Combo Tour: Old Town & Ancient City Walls suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubrovnik Combo Tour: Old Town & Ancient City Walls?
+
Around 434 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubrovnik Combo Tour: Old Town & Ancient City Walls 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.
