Stop At: Dubrovnik Walks, Brsalje ul. 8, 20000, Dubrovnik, Croatia

Our meeting point, this is where the guide will meet and greet the guests!

Discover the beauty of Dubrovnik while learning about the city’s interesting past on this historical walking tour. Meet your local guide near Pile Gate for a tour of the ancient city walls, a 1.2-mile (2-km) complex structure built in the 14th century that served as defensive structures to protect the city.

Duration: 2 minutes

Pass By: Old Town, Dubrovnik Croatia

We enter the old town, then head towards the city walls entrance.

Stop At: Muralles de Dubrovnik, Placa ulica 32 Just Inside Pile Gate, To the Left, Dubrovnik 20000 Croatia

We will stop to buy the city walls tickets and then we will walk the city walls.

Marvel at the beautiful blue colors of the Adriatic Sea and admire breathtaking views of the port and the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while your guide takes you through the history of the city walls.

In the 11th century, the sea channel separating the city from mainland was covered up with earth, so a single wall was built to enclose the present-day Old Town. The city walls have been restored several times in history to resemble their original appearance. With your guide, see Fort Revelin and Minceta Tower within the city walls (entrance fees not included), and learn the strategic position of these forts and their role in Dubrovnik's history. You will also see Fort Lovrijenac in the distance, the only fort that belongs to the city walls but it's physically separated from them, and which you may visit after the tour.

As you wander around Dubrovnik's ancient walls, your guide will explain the defensive and political challenges faced by Dubrovnik in the past. Hear stories of the rivalry and conquest Dubrovnik has faced and learn the secrets of how the country used defensive fortifications and diplomacy to remain an independent republic for several years, before ending your tour near the port.
*Entrance fee to City Walls not included in price.

Marlo was excellent. He was knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. Nice to meet a local . Glad we went early to eat the crowds and heat.

The time slot of 5:30 was still a busy time, but not over crowded. We were promptly greeted by persons in charge and fitted with our whisper devices. Davor was our tour guide. He was passionate, detailed and gave as much insight as you could expect over a two-hour tour. We felt fortunate that he was our guide. The walls are remarkable and the community within was surprising hosting, for example, a working school and university. If you forgot to bring water, there are stations throughout the tour which sell same, as well as spots to purchase food. As a caution, this tour involves approximately 1,000 steps with a climb of , I believe, 80 feet. It would be difficult for someone with mobility issues. Save your ticket receipt as it will allow you free admission to Fort Lovrijenac (nearby) if used within a few days of the wall tour. It was the highlight of our 10-night stay in Dubrovnik.

Ivan was a great tour guide, he just started this year, maybe he needs a little bit of adjusting and being a little bit more clear and concise with the information he gives out, although it was really interesting and formative. Just a little bit confusing sometimes, but he did a great job. Worth the time and the heat in the sun 100%

Really enjoyed our tour, our guide gave an interesting and excellent in-depth insight into the history of not only the walls but of Dubrovnik's history throughout the ages as well. She was more than happy to answer any questions and ensured she engaged all members of the group both young and old.
