Meeting Point
Pile Gate
Pile Gate
The tour starts on the small square, just a few steps from the main entrance to the Old Town called Pile Gate.
Cable car station
After we meet, we will proceed to the cable car station. In the meantime, I will give you the most important information about our country and Dubrovnik.
Mount Srđ (it takes 3 minutes by cable car to reach the top)
Once we get to the top of Mount Srd you will have the opportunity to take amazing photos of the whole Old town and surroundings. I will show you the most important things and, as this place was very important for the town during the Croatian homeland war in the '90s, I will explain to you what happened with our country at that time.
If you want, you can visit the Museum of Croatian War of Independence situated on Mount Srd (tickets not included).
Dubrovnik Old town
After visiting Mount Srd we go back by cable car to the Old town. Once we enter the town, we will immerse ourselves in the fascinating history of one of the richest city-states in Medieval Europe. Sponza Palace, Jewish street, Saint Blaise church, main street Stradun, Old port, Cathedral, Rector's Palace, green market, Onofrio's fountain are some of the incredible monuments and places you're going to see and learn about.
Main entrance to the city walls
Once we reach the main entrance to the city walls, we will climb the stairs together to enjoy the breathtaking birds-eye view of Dubrovnik’s old town monuments and surroundings.
City walls
We will head forward to the south side of the walls facing the sea where you will see the Fort of Saint Lawrence, the Ethnographical museum, the island of Lokrum. Once we reach Saint John Fortress, you will have a bird-eye view of the charming Old port with its small boats and restaurants. Saint John Fortress houses a Maritime museum with many interesting artifacts and stories about incredible Dubrovnik’s maritime history. After Saint John's Fortress, we will proceed towards the north side of the walls. The view over the whole Old town and its terracotta roofs from this northside is incredible. A great moment to take beautiful photos!
Old town- city walls
After 4 hours walk, we will end our tour. If you get tired during the walk in the city walls, it is not mandatory to do the whole circle. There are two possible exits before reaching the main exit.
I will pay attention to give you enough time to take photos, ask questions, grab an ice-cream or some other refreshments. If you want, in the end, you can sit in one of the bars situated on the city walls or I can accompany you to one of the most popular bars just outside the city walls to enjoy the beautiful view of the shimmering Adriatic sea.

About Tour Guide Ana B.
Dear travelers,
I’m a local certified guide for Dubrovnik and its surroundings.
I’m in love with history, languages, gastronomy, and travels. I'm also mum of two little kids so I don't have a lot of free time :) but when I do, I enjoy reading, trying new recipes, doing yoga and pilates.
My work experience includes guiding in Dubrovnik (old town, city walls, cable car, island Lokrum), Elafiti islands, the island of Korčula, Pelješac peninsula, Konavle Region.
Our country is small but has a lot to offer and I always do my best to present it in the best way, to balance information and interesting facts about the history and everyday life.
Looking forward to meeting you !
Salut,
Je suis une guide local certifiée pour Dubrovnik et ses environs.
Je suis passionnée par l'histoire, les langues, la gastronomie et les voyages. Je suis également maman de deux petits enfants, donc je n'ai pas beaucoup de temps libre :) mais quand j'en ai, j'aime lire, essayer de nouvelles recettes, faire du yoga et du pilates.
Mon expérience professionnelle comprend le guidage à Dubrovnik (vieille ville, remparts de la ville, téléphérique, île de Lokrum), les îles Elafiti, l'île de Korčula, la péninsule de Pelješac et la région de Konavle.
Notre pays est petit mais a beaucoup à offrir et je fais toujours de mon mieux pour le présenter de la meilleure façon possible, en équilibrant les informations et les faits intéressants sur l'histoire et la vie quotidienne.
J'ai hâte de vous rencontrer !

“Fabulous Experience ”
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a guided tour of Dubrovnik's Old Town, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. Ana super friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease, made this tour an unforgettable experience. From the moment we met her, it was evident that she possessed a depth of knowledge about Dubrovnik's history and culture that was truly remarkable. Her passion for the city shone through as she expertly guided us through the enchanting Old Town. Every corner turned revealed another layer of history and significance that she shared with enthusiasm and precision. The highlight of the tour had to be the breathtaking view from the cable car. As we ascended, our guide provided insights into the city's geography and the stories behind its iconic landmarks. When we reached the top, the panoramic view of Dubrovnik and the Adriatic Sea left us in awe. It was a moment of pure magic, and our guide's commentary made it even more special. Walking the ancient city walls was another highlight. Our guide's storytelling transported us back in time as we traced the footsteps of centuries of history. Her ability to weave together historical facts and captivating anecdotes kept us engaged and eager to learn more. As if the tour itself wasn't incredible enough, our guide surprised us with a lovely gift at the end. It was a thoughtful gesture that made us feel appreciated as visitors to this beautiful city. In the blink of an eye, four hours had flown by. The tour was not only informative but also incredibly enjoyable, thanks to our guide's charisma and expertise. I can't express enough gratitude for the memorable experience she provided. If you're visiting Dubrovnik and want to explore its Old Town, I wholeheartedly recommend this tour. It's an adventure filled with history, stunning views, and the warmth of a superb guide.
