    Great tour of Dubrovnik

    Our guide Viaho gave us an awesome tour of Dubrovnik old town. He was very knowledgeable about the town’s history since he lived thru quite a lot of it. He shared so much information with us and took us to a very moving video showing the history of the town. I would highly recommend Viaho and My Dubrovnik Tours to anyone that wants to know more about Dubrovnik.

    Private walking tour

    We had a private walking tour for 2:30 hours with Vlaho. He was very professional and accommodating. He made it very easy for us and also he was very knowledgeable about all the history which we loved. He also guided us out at the end to a lovely restaurant by the water with an amazing view great food. We totally recommend him thank you.

    Response from the operator: Dear Carole, thank you for the lovely review. It's always a pleasure to be among dear people that enjoy hearing about Dubrovnik's unique history and have compassion for the hardships that the people lived through in the recent past. Have the best in life! Vlaho

    Scenic Dubrovnik

    This city is absolutely lovely with so much history. Warning it does have lots of tourism. Our tour guide., Vlaho, was passionate and deeply knowledgeable about the entire area and its history. His pace was spot on for our older group, and he worked very hard to keep us in the shade on an extremely hot day. Truly love everything about the city and how it was presented to us by the guide. definitely one of the most lovely spots of our entire cruise .

    Dubrovnik Old City Private Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Dubrovnik Old City Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $126 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 Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Old City Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 103 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 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 Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

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

    +

    Around 36 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dubrovnik Old City 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 Private Tour?

    +

    Included: Professional tour guidance; and Museum entrance fee*. Not included: Any food or beverages; Any personal purchases or expenses; and Gratitudes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

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

    +

    In front of the NAUTIKA restaurant near the west gate of PILE. On GOOGLE MAPS type: My Dubrovnik Tours or NAUTIKA restaurant. 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 Private Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Croatian. 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 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 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.
