    Informative tour

    Meeting point is not directly outside of port exit. You can take a public bus ($1.73 euro each way vs expensive cruise shuttles) to the city center meeting point but do note the public buses are busy in the morning so do allow for extra time as you may have to wait for next bus if full. Bus ride was like 15 mins. If taking this route you should disembark by 9am the latest. Bus stop is for 1a, 1b and 3 bus lines are like a 5 mins walk from cruise port exit right in front of the bus terminal. Purchase bus ticket at the windows outside of the bus terminal. Tour was informative and guide Elvis provided good suggestions and directions for things to do after the tour and around the area.

    Excellent small group tour.

    Our guide Nicolas was very informative and as we were a small group in number we could see and hear him clearly in a very busy area.

    Response from the operator: Hi Carol, Thank you for your feedback. Kind regards, Ivan Elite Travel

    Just ok tour

    This was the type of tour where you have to wear headphones in order to hear the tour guide because there was quite a bit of people, and she's always up ahead of the group. She gave out all the facts, but no other interesting stories or anything to keep my attention.

    Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Old Town Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Old Town Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $26 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: Old Town Walking Tour 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 Shore Excursion: Old Town Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 17 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: Old Town Walking 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 Shore Excursion: Old Town Walking Tour 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 Shore Excursion: Old Town Walking Tour?

    +

    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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Old Town Walking 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 Shore Excursion: Old Town Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: Professional guide; and Worry-Free Shore Excursion Guarantee. Not included: Food and drinks; Gratuities; and Port pick-up and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Old Town Walking Tour?

    +

    Departure Point: Pile Gate Please meet our tour guide at Pile Square, outside the Old Town city walls, in front of the fountain by the 'Dubravka 1836' restaurant&bar. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Old Town Walking 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 Shore Excursion: Old Town Walking 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.

    Is Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Old Town Walking Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Old Town Walking 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.
