What truly sets this experience apart is the personal approach. This isn’t a scripted group tour, it’s a private walk tailored to you, led by a local guide who shares stories, context, and insights you simply wouldn’t discover on your own. From understanding how Dubrovnik defended itself for centuries to hearing real perspectives from more recent history, the walls become much more than just a scenic walk. Add to that flexible pacing, carefully chosen photo stops, and practical insider tips, and you get a richer, more meaningful experience of Dubrovnik’s most iconic landmark.

A+ for Joseph
Joseph knows a LOT about Dubrovnik and was a very good guide. It was really nice to have a private tour given the small size of the wall pathways. We asked him to shorten the tour a bit due to our schedule, and he moved along faster than he normally would, which we appreciated! He was very funny and gave us great tips for getting the most out of the city.
Response from the operator: Dear MELANIE_L, Thank you for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your private tour with Joseph and appreciated his knowledge, humor, and flexibility. We’re especially glad he was able to adapt the pace to fit your schedule and share some helpful tips for making the most of Dubrovnik. Kind regards, Maro Carevic Dubrovnik Walking Tours

10/10 would recommend
Ðoro was an amazing tour guide. From start to finish it was a unique and personal experience. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the old city. From ancient history to recent years, from The War to Game of Thrones, he was prepared for every question. In the palace and on the street he had tidbits of information only a local with a deep personal connection to the city could share. His recommendations for food and retail were also spot on. Showing off some truly delicious local food on a quiet side street. He even called a neighbor who sells in the market to make sure he would still be there despite the chance of rain so we could get some treats we had been looking for. I would recommend Ðoro as a guide for any person or small group looking for a personalized tour experience.
Response from the operator: Dear amandadF6520DI, Thank you so much for such a detailed and wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Đuro made your experience so personal and memorable, and that you enjoyed his local knowledge, stories, and recommendations. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation! Kind regards, Maro Carevic Dubrovnik Walking Tours

Start your visit with a tour of the Dubrovnik City Walls!
We had a fantastic experience with Dubrovnik Walking Tours. Our guide, Ðuro, was wonderful, and being with him on the city walls was the perfect way to begin our time in Dubrovnik. Ðuro is passionate about Croatia and Dubrovnik and wants to share that passion with his guests. Plus, he brings a unique perspective to his narrative from having lived abroad and from having family who lived - and fought - in Dubrovnik during the civil war. We learned so much about the fascinating ancient and more recent history of Dubrovnik - with a little Game of Thrones added for variety. It’s obvious Ðuro has a desire to continue to refine his craft and expand his knowledge, which enriches the experience for guests fortunate to have him as their guide. If he is representative of the guides who work for your company, you are doing something right! Ðuro is a star and I will enthusiastically recommend a tour with him and Dubrovnik Walking Tours to anyone I know who plans to visit this beautiful city.
Response from the operator: Dear SusanStrib, Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Ðuro made your experience so memorable and that his passion for Dubrovnik and Croatia came through. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we truly appreciate your recommendation! Kind regards, Maro Carevic Dubrovnik Walking Tours

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Dubrovnik City Walls Tour – Stories & Views: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Private Dubrovnik City Walls Tour – Stories & Views cost?
+
Prices start at $122 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 Private Dubrovnik City Walls Tour – Stories & Views 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 Private Dubrovnik City Walls Tour – Stories & Views 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 126 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 Private Dubrovnik City Walls Tour – Stories & Views?
+
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 Private Dubrovnik City Walls Tour – Stories & Views 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 Private Dubrovnik City Walls Tour – Stories & Views?
+
Around 44 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 Private Dubrovnik City Walls Tour – Stories & Views 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 Private Dubrovnik City Walls Tour – Stories & Views?
+

+
