    Excellent day in Old Town!

    A fun day walking old town with Peto! Food & wine were amazing! Our group was truly exceptional, so many laughs! It was very hot but we were in and out of places to cool off! Great time!

    Lovely way to learn about Dubrovnik!

    Andrea was a very knowledgeable guide. She began with a history of the city and then we went to the open market to try some almonds and figs and arancini. Then we stopped 3 more places for lovely charcuterie, main dish,and dessert. Andrea was an excellent guide, very relaxed and encouraged questions. She was mindful of our weariness since we just got in today after long travel from a road. She shared local details and lots of history. We love to start our trips with a food tour and this did not disappoint!

    Great Guide of Free Spirit Tours Dubrovnik

    Our guide Andrea was great. She was very knowledgeable and spoke fluent English. She narrated fun local stories rather than dry facts which made it lively. The 1.5-hour tour covered Old Town spots, including Stradun (the main street) and the Jesuit Stairs. She also told us what sites to visit and what local foods we could eat. It was very interesting and I would recommend it to everybody. So worth it for a first time visit to Dubrovnik.

    Dubrovnik Food Tour: Local Dishes & City Stories: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.

    How much does Dubrovnik Food Tour: Local Dishes & City Stories cost?

    +

    Prices start at $113 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 Tour: Local Dishes & City Stories 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 Tour: Local Dishes & City Stories worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 43 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 Tour: Local Dishes & City Stories?

    +

    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 Tour: Local Dishes & City Stories 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 Tour: Local Dishes & City Stories?

    +

    Around 15 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 Tour: Local Dishes & City Stories 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.

    What is included in Dubrovnik Food Tour: Local Dishes & City Stories?

    +

    Included: Small group experience; Licensed local guide; Glass of wine with cured meat and cheese selection; and Food tastings at five local spots with authentic Dubrovnik and Croatian specialties.
