What you'll see and do
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.

Walking tour in Dubrovnik
Branco was an excellent guide, who provided insights into Dubrovnik’s past & current status. He related personal stories & experiences which made the tour more meaningful. I would highly recommend his tour !
via Viator
Really great tour and fun guide!
What a fabulous introduction to Dubrovnik! Despite the pouring rain our tour guide Branco was amazing from start to finish and cheered us up! It’s our first time visiting and we would thoroughly recommend this as an introduction to such a beautiful city - we learnt so much to then return alone and visit all the attractions! Go Branco!!

Courageous people exemplified in this tour
Ask for a Branco!!!!! he was not only a fabulous tour. He’s quite funny, and he represents well. the brave fighting spirit of the courageous Croatian people. He has some incredible stories to tell along the way that you will never forget, and you will find yourself wanting to stay long after the tour asking him questions. He’s such a good storyteller and weaves this into his way of revealing transitions into exactly where you’re going next and what you’re seeing at the time. He’s got a great way of drawing you in and then visually showing you something that you’re standing right in front of, but you didn’t see until he set the scene. This is a great tour of an incredible city with a centuries old history. This is the tour guide you want. Request him, request him, request him. Remarkable person, and you will laugh a lot along the way.

Why this scores 92
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubrovnik: Discover the Old Town Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Dubrovnik: Discover the Old Town Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $23 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: Discover the Old Town Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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: Discover the Old Town Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 5,168 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. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dubrovnik: Discover the 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: Discover the Old Town Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubrovnik: Discover the Old Town Walking Tour?
+
Around 1,809 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubrovnik: Discover the 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.

Included: Visit to Luza Square and Stradun; Licensed local expert guide; and Audio headsets (for groups of 4 or more). Not included: Gratuities; Hotel pick-up and drop off; Entrance fees; and Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
