Top Dubrovnik Walking Tours - page 10

We took part in the Dubrovnik Combo Tour of the Old Town and the Ancient City Walls which meant that we had two tours back to back with two different guides. Both guides were competent, knowledgeable, friendly and spoke English fluently. Our first guide, Branko, took us through the famous Pile Gate into Dubrovnik's Old Town with its limestone-paved streets, Baroque churches, government buildings, fountains, statues, steep narrow walkways, shops and cafés. He told us about Dubrovnik's multifaceted history and entertained us with historical facts, anecdotes, superstitions and traditions and showed us 'Game of Thrones' locations. We think this tour is a must if you want to get to know Dubrovnik intimately and Branko was a charming and informative guide. Our second guide was Antun, who took us up to the Ancient City Walls which stretch nearly 2 kilometres around the city. Please be aware that you have to climb various steep stretches of stairs for this tour but it is well worth it for the fantastic views of the entire OldTown, Dubrovniks's stunning coastline and the Old Port. You also learn about ancient and modern life in the town, about battles, sieges, town politics, trades, the town's cats and, of course, more about 'Game of Thrones'. Antun was a friendly, patient and knowledgeable guide and was able to answer all of our many questions. These two tours last between 3.5 to 4 hours altogether and they are a very good combination especially if you only have a couple of days in Dubrovnik. Please note that you have to purchase entry tickets to the City Wall separately. They are not included in the price when you book the Combo through Viator.
