    Vlaho, was an amazing...

    Vlaho, was an amazing guide! I have had many private tour guides during years of travels and he’s one of the best I have encountered. You are in for a treat with his local knowledge/expertise!! ( he has tons of world and living experiences as well) he is such a down to earth, kind human being. Thank you for making my trip you Dubrovnik even more enjoyable.

    Response from the operator: Dear Christopher, thank you so much for the extraordinary review. It was a pleasure being with such a positive person like yourself. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour and had a great time in your company. Have a fantastic time in Dubrovnik. I wish you all the best on life. Vlaho

    Nice, educational, relaxed afternoon tour.

    I really enjoyed my tour. Pavo was flexible allowing me a selection on what to see. I had a tour in the morning so he worked with me on what to see in the afternoon with him. He carried my jacket and lunch throughout the walking tour! He was easy to understand and explained well the history and events. Pavo was very nice and also answered well my many questions.

    Wow, what a wonderful tour all made possible by Vlaho! The day of was raining and he was able to customize our tour to replace the cable car. We loved the visit to the Franciscan Monastery, especially the pharmacy where you can buy ancient lotion formulations. Ladies if you know you know, I boight antired for under the eyes, works like a dream! Vlaho's background and experience make him the ideal guide, he has lived the history as a local Dubrovnik! Sharing about the wartime, showing us the holes in the walls, you have a deeper understanding of what happened during that time. He takes you from ancient Roman time, Ottoman and beyond. It was fascinating! The best part is that he took us to local shops where they make products here in Dubrovnik. I wanted to take back authentic goodies and wow Note Bene was my favorite. They make the best sugared orange peel treats, dog goodies, fig sausage, creamy honey, delicious nuts and olive oil. Great shop! Thank you Vlaho for making our trip so special. We had such a great time with you! PS He is a miracle worker with little kids, he kept my niece engaged by the end she was a big fan pf Vlaho too!!! See you again!!!

    Response from the operator: Dear Minoo, thank you so much for the extraordinary review. I was sad to see you go! The experience was mutual as I felt I was part of your family, wonderful people, always smiling and positive in every way. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour and I'm looking forward to seeing you again in Dubrovnik. Wishing you the very best, Vlaho

    Dubrovnik Old City and Cable Car Private Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Dubrovnik Old City and Cable Car Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $343 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 Old City and Cable Car Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Old City and Cable Car Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Old City and Cable Car Private 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 Old City and Cable Car Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Dubrovnik Old City and Cable Car Private Tour?

    +

    Around 2 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dubrovnik Old City and Cable Car Private 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.

    What is included in Dubrovnik Old City and Cable Car Private Tour?

    +

    Included: Professional Tour Guidance and Assistance; and All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Return cable car tickets to Mount Srđ; Admission to the Homeland War Museum; All other personal expenses; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Dubrovnik Old City and Cable Car Private Tour?

    +

    In front of the Nautika Restaurant near the west gate of Pile. On GOOGLE MAPS type: My Dubrovnik Tours Look for your name! Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Dubrovnik Old City and Cable Car Private Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Dubrovnik Old City and Cable Car Private Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Dubrovnik Old City and Cable Car Private Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
