Secrets Behind the Stone Walls Just steps from the main street lies a peaceful hidden gem—Dubrovnik’s Franciscan Monastery. While the adults admire the stunning Romanesque architecture and one of the oldest pharmacies in Europe (still operating since 1317!), kids will be fascinated by tales of medieval medicine, secret remedies, and the mysterious monks who lived here. Your guide will point out curious stone faces, ancient inscriptions, and the quiet cloister garden where time seems to stand still. It’s a moment to slow down, step away from the crowds, and enjoy one of the Old Town’s most beautiful corners. There’s even a fun story about a healing potion that once saved the city—perfect for sparking young imaginations!

Little Onofrio Fountain
The Magical Water of Dubrovnik At the western end of the main street, your family will discover the grand Onofrio’s Fountain, a 15th-century masterpiece that once brought fresh spring water from the mountains into the heart of the city. Kids will be amazed to learn how this clever system worked without modern plumbing—and they’ll love the 16 carved stone faces that each spit water (some with funny expressions!). Your guide will share a charming local legend about a "magic sip" from the fountain that ensures you’ll return to Dubrovnik someday. It’s the perfect spot for a quick refresh, a coin toss for good luck, and a fun family photo. This stop blends history, engineering, and a touch of local folklore that sparks everyone's curiosity.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Family Private Old City walking tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Family Private Old City walking tour cost?
+
Prices start at $183 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 Family Private Old City walking tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Family Private Old City walking tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Family Private Old City 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 Family Private Old City walking tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Family Private Old City walking tour?
+
Around 0 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Family Private Old City 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 Family Private Old City walking tour?
+
Included: Entrance fees; Flexible timing; Licensed Local Guide; and Free photoshooting. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Family Private Old City walking tour?
+

What languages is Family Private Old City walking tour offered in?
+
