Itinerary Details
With your expert guide, we begin the tour at the Pile main gate, just outside the town walls for a brief introduction to the early settlement and development of Dubrovnik. Afterward, as we cross the bridge and enter the UNESCO World Heritage Old Town, we continue to discuss Dubrovnik’s rise as a powerful naval city-state. We might then stop by the classic Onofri Fountain; before continuing down Stradun, Dubrovnik’s main street littered with historical anecdotes and architectural gems. Along with your expert historian, we traverse through Dubrovnik’s limestone streets and alleys, taking in the local farmer's market, old port, churches, monasteries, ateliers, taverns, cafes; all with their own unique story to tell. We'll have time to discuss more recent events in Croatia, such as the War Time years. Your route might vary according to your guide.
To continue your explorations of the city with Context, we recommend our Full Day Trip to Montenegro.

Loved this tour of Dubrovnik with Jure. Jure has mastered the art of showing all the greatest sites while avoiding all the crowds, and then pointing out some hidden gems. He answered all our questions and told some great local stories, Jure was knowledgeable and personable and offered great recommendations for dining and spots to visit outside Dubrovnik. We would recommend his tour to anyone visiting Dubrovnik.
