The tour takes us up the Dubrovnik cable car. From the top we will have a magnificent view of the city and we will have a cup of coffee together (coffee culture is huge in Dubrovnik!). During that time I will tell you a bit about Dubrovnik and specifically the Homeland war in the 90s. After this we will walk a few minutes to the Homeland war museum where we can view photos & videos together. At the end, we will take the cable car back down together, and end the tour at any of the city entrances.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the cable car is not running?

It's very uncommon for the cable car to be closed due to very poor weather conditions. However, in this case we can hop in an Uber together (covered by me) and visit the Homeland war museum and perhaps even have a beautiful view if it's not too cloudy/foggy. We can also discuss a partial refund depending on the cost of the Uber.

Game of Thrones versus history

Dubrovnik
4 hours

This tour takes you through locations of filming of Game of Thrones in and around the Old City of Dubrovnik, combining real history of Dubrovnik with history of medieval Europe used as inspiration for the plot of the series. Since I worked on set as wardrobe assistant for extras in the series if you are a big fan of the series I will also share amusing moments and anecdotes from the shooting .
