Our small-group Dubrovnik Old Town walking tour with a maximum of eight guests per guide provides a more intimate and personalized experience, allowing you to ask questions and connect with like-minded travelers and your local guide. The tour takes an hour and a half and covers all the most important monuments, palaces, and churches of old Dubrovnik.

Starting at Ploče gate, our small-group Dubrovnik Old Town walking tour will take you through the oldest corner of Dubrovnik, where you'll see a 16th-century palace where people still live. Your guide will share stories about the everyday life of the local community and point out curious details along the way. Of course, no tour of Dubrovnik's Old Town would be complete without seeing the main attractions like the Rector’s palace, the church of St. Blaise, Sponza palace, and the Cathedral.

This Dubrovnik Old Town walking tour is perfect for those looking to experience the magic of Dubrovnik's UNESCO-protected historic center. With our knowledgeable guides, you'll learn about the history of the old Republic of Ragusa, the ancient Dubrovnik city-state, but we'll also talk about the contemporary issues that make life inside the Old Town interesting and challenging.
