    A day with a friend

    We had a FANTASTIC day with our guide, Maris. Not only was she very knowledgeable, she was great company and made us feel as if we were spending the day with a friend that taught us all about Dubrovnik! The food was fantastic as well

    Perfect Tour Guide

    Jadra’s knowledge and welcoming personality were a great introduction to Dubrovnik Old Town on our first night there. We enjoyed several dishes that are considered special occasion meals and learned so much! And we have already revisited the first place we went to! Jadra was also so helpful via text before our trip with recommendations on other activities.

    Great experience

    Jadranka was our tour guide. She showed us wonderful spots in old town and included excellent food and wine along the way. Her personality was great and it was enjoyable talking with her. We also learned a little about their history along the way.

    Lorenzo_P · September 2026

    For the best tips on where to eat (and drink) in the Old City, Jadranka’s the best guide

    The smaller your group, the better the experience. Jadranka took our group of four all over the Old City and introduced us to some out-of-the-way restaurants, bars and coffee shops, while sharing some great anecdotes. She’s the best!

    via Viator

    Regina_D · September 2026

    Best private tour ever!

    A fabulous walking tour with Maris. Her English is excellent and she had an amazing sense of humor guiding us through the sites of the old town while seamlessly ordering all the food with matching wines. Highly recommend this tour!

    Dubrovnik Food, Wine & History Tour - Small-Group Experience: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Dubrovnik Food, Wine & History Tour - Small-Group Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $163 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, Wine & History Tour - Small-Group Experience 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, Wine & History Tour - Small-Group Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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, Wine & History Tour - Small-Group Experience?

    +

    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, Wine & History Tour - Small-Group Experience 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, Wine & History Tour - Small-Group Experience?

    +

    Around 6 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, Wine & History Tour - Small-Group Experience 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.
