On this 3-hour food and drink tour in the Old City of Dubrovnik, discover authentic flavours and history guided by a licensed local expert. As much a history tour as a food tour, it weaves together centuries of culture and gastronomy through one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cities. You'll visit 4 spots along the way: a street food place, two traditional family-run restaurants and a dessert spot owned by a pastry chef who previously worked in a Michelin-starred restaurant. With over 10 tastings and three local wines paired throughout, you'll try recipes still cooked in Dubrovnik homes today, some prepared only on specific days of the year, and dishes rooted in 16th and 19th century tradition from the era of the Dubrovnik Republic. The tour ends with handcrafted desserts and a glass of local liqueur or coffee. Small groups keep things personal and unhurried.

What you'll see and do
The Large Onofrio's Fountain is a prominent landmark in Dubrovnik, Croatia, also a meeting point for our food tour. Located at the entrance of Dubrovnik's Old Town, near Pile Gate, this large circular fountain is a remarkable example of the city's historical infrastructure and architectural grandeur. Constructed in 1438 by the renowned Italian engineer Onofrio della Cava, the fountain was part of a complex water supply system that brought water from a well-spring located over 7 miles away. Despite suffering damage from an earthquake in 1667 and the Croatian War of Independence in the 1990s, the fountain has been well-restored and continues to serve as a functional public water source, offering cool refreshment to locals and tourists alike.

Great Guide (Drazen) and great tour!
Great tour - this guide Drazen was exceptionally good at taking our group to little known (except to locals like him) spots to eat. He was very engaging and personable throughout the tour. I appreciated his knowledge and enthusiasm. I would highly recommend this tour and guide any time!

A Dubrovnik old town MUST!!
A delightful experience and a MUST if you are in Dubrovnik. Ana is a joy ~ kind, accommodating and well versed in the history of this beautiful city! You will love every bite, every sip and every laugh along the way. Don’t miss out on this lovely tour.

Great tour!
Ana was an excellent tour guide. She did a great job explaining the history and the food was great. The only thing I would say is that for the price you are paying everyone should be able to try the white and the red wine. You had to choose at each location. Just a smaller pour of both would have been appreciated.

A great experience with...
A great experience with food, culture and meeting new people! Highly recommend! I feel the only way to truly experience a regions food is to do an authentic food tour.

Nice places with unique, quality and authentic dishes.
This tour is right in old town and the stops are off the beaten tourists paths! You get a bit of history and to sit down with a small glass of wine at each stop. The dishes were tasty, authentic and high quality. The wine was good but you don’t get drink or try as much as we expected for $165 EUR each.. very small pours, red or white and no extra unless you pay.
Response from the operator: Dear Kristin, thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the history and the food and thank you for choosing our tour during your stay. A quick clarification on price: the tour is currently €140 per person on this platform, not €165. As for the wine, three glasses are included at three of our restaurant stops, and at the final stop we offer coffee, tea or a liqueur, as explained in the tour description. The restaurants charge us per glass, which is why we can't offer larger pours or refills within the tour price. We work hard to include as much food and drink as possible for the price, we want for you, our guests to get value for money, and we are happy our guests have recognized that over the years, which is a big part of why we are the highest rated food tour in the region. We hope to welcome you back to Dubrovnik. Kind regards, Marija

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubrovnik Food and Drink Walking Tour with a Local Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Dubrovnik Food and Drink Walking Tour with a Local Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $160 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 Food and Drink Walking Tour with a Local Guide take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Food and Drink Walking Tour with a Local Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 730 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 Food and Drink Walking Tour with a Local Guide?
+
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 Food and Drink Walking Tour with a Local Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubrovnik Food and Drink Walking Tour with a Local Guide?
+
Around 255 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubrovnik Food and Drink Walking Tour with a Local Guide 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.

+
