Fabulous walking tour....
Fabulous walking tour. Marko was so knowledgeable and passed on his knowledge in a fun and interesting way. Really enjoyed the tour and would 100 per cent recommend it.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Erica! We're glad that you had a good time on our Old Town tour. Thanks again for choosing our small-group tours! Warm regards, Maria Dubrovnik Local Guides

Fabulous tour
Mario was enormous fun and a mine of information, stories and anecdotes… we had a very small group tour and saw the best of this fabulous city. Highly recommend!!
Response from the operator: Thank you, Richard! Stories and anecdotes from a real local like Marko are always welcome, and we're glad that you enjoyed our Old town tour! Thank you for choosing Dubrovnik Local Guides! Warm regards, Maria Dubrovnik Local Guides
via Viator
Ask for Marko!
Did a private family walking tour with Marko. He was amazing and engaging with our multi-generational group! Thank you!!
Response from the operator: Thank you, Les! We're happy to see that you enjoyed the tour with Marko - we hope to welcome you again on one of our tours in the future! Warm regards, Maria Dubrovnik Local Guides
via Tripadvisor
A must-do experience
Marko was an excellent local guide. We were lucky enough to get a private tour as no-one else had booked our time slot. What a knowledgeable guy he is - all the history as well as myths and legends. And a quiz as we toured around to keep us on our toes. Great value and very entertaining.
Response from the operator: Thank you! We're truly happy to see that you enjoyed our Old town tour. Thanks again for choosing us! Warm regards, Maria Dubrovnik Local Guides

Knowledgeable guide, small group
Marko was the guide for this tour and he was both very knowledgeable and humorous. Nice way to get an overview of history of Dubrovnik. It was only going to be a maximum of 8 in the group, but I ended up being the only person on the tour since my friend had to cancel at the last minute. After seeing the large groups (maybe from bus or ship tour groups?) walking around Dubrovnik I was really glad I had opted for a small group tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Karen! Our small-group tours are definitely different than the bus or cruise tour groups, and we really want our guests to have a better connection with our guides and the history of Dubrovnik. We're glad that you had a good time on our Old town tour with Marko! Warm regards, Maria Dubrovnik Local Guides

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubrovnik Old Town: Small-Group Walking Tour With A Local: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Dubrovnik Old Town: Small-Group Walking Tour With A Local cost?
+
Prices start at $38 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 Town: Small-Group Walking Tour With A Local take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Town: Small-Group Walking Tour With A Local worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 159 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 Town: Small-Group Walking Tour With A Local?
+
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 Town: Small-Group Walking Tour With A Local suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubrovnik Old Town: Small-Group Walking Tour With A Local?
+
Around 56 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubrovnik Old Town: Small-Group Walking Tour With A Local 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, Panorama Zipline Experience in Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik: 7 Caves & Blue Cave Speedboat Tour (4h). 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.
