    Not what we expected

    The cable car ride to the top was the best part of the trip. Too much standing while our guide was talking.

    Our tour guide in...

    Our tour guide in Dubrovnik was quite knowledgeable and gave us a magnificent tour of a magical city. We appreciate her knowledge of all the historical sites. Thank you so much for giving us a tour that will always be memorable in our hearts.

    I would not recommend this tour. The tour guide came shortly before the meeting time so it took a few minutes to check everyone in and get us all headphones and radios. Then the tour guide waited for someone who was late and there was tension. We started our walk almost 25 minutes late with a stressed guide. We walked to the cable car and waited again while the tour guide purchased tickets, something that should have been done ahead of time for efficiency. By the time we walked back to Old Town, it was very hot. We should have done the walk first and cable car second. Beautiful city and great idea, but the logistics were inefficient. We ended up splitting off, buying 40 euro tickets to walk the walls of Okd Town, and had a blast on our own.

    Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate you highlighting areas where we can improve. We understand that the tour got off to a delayed start, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused. While we do our best to begin on time, occasional delays can happen, especially when accommodating late-arriving guests. That said, we agree that a smoother start would have made for a better experience for everyone. Regarding the cable car tickets, these are purchased on the spot due to local policies that prevent advance group bookings, but we understand how this may have felt inefficient in the moment — especially in the heat. We also appreciate your suggestion about reversing the itinerary order. Our route is usually planned with crowd levels and visibility in mind, but we'll definitely take your feedback into account when reviewing our logistics. We're glad to hear you enjoyed exploring the Old Town walls on your own — it’s truly a highlight of Dubrovnik! Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope you'll give us another chance in the future. Warm regards,

    Great overview of the old...

    Great overview of the old town of Dubrovnik. Our guy had a lot of knowledge about the Game of Thrones. The cable car experience is really cool and worth it.

    Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $92 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 Shore Excursion: Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included) 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 Shore Excursion: Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 110 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 Shore Excursion: Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included)?

    +

    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 Shore Excursion: Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included) 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 Shore Excursion: Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included)?

    +

    Around 39 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 Shore Excursion: Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included) 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.
