Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Stop 2

A 2-hour private tour of Dubrovnik’s Old Town, where history comes alive at every corner. Start your journey at the iconic West Harbour, where Game of Thrones fans will instantly recognize the stunning filming location. As you stroll through the mediaeval Pile Gate, your guide will weave tales of Dubrovnik’s defence against invaders and how the city has preserved its independence over the centuries. The Franciscan Monastery offers a glimpse into the spiritual life of Dubrovnik, while the bustling Stradun will envelop you in the city’s vibrant daily life

Luza Square, with its grand architecture, serves as the perfect backdrop for your exploration of Sponza Palace and the Rector's Palace, two masterpieces of Dubrovnik’s rich architectural legacy. Continue to the Church of St. Ignatius, where baroque beauty meets local devotion. Finally, your guide will take you to the breathtaking Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, before concluding at the formidable St. John’s Bastion, offering panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea.

This private tour, unlike group tours, provides a luxury experience where your guide will focus solely on your interests and curiosities.
