About this activity

Walk Dubrovnik's iconic 1,940-metre fortification with a local licensed guide who brings 500+ years of history to life—from medieval Ragusa through Ottoman sieges, communism, and the 1991–95 war to today. Expect stunning photo opportunities, authentic storytelling, and smaller group sizes that make for a more intimate experience.

Join us on a tour which will fully immerse you into true Dubrovnik's essence - the becoming of our unique and mesmerising city walls. Whichever brochure, add or pamflet you see about Dubrovnik, the spotlight will illuminate only one landmark in most occasions, the amazing city walls of old Ragusa. This is your one of a kind opportunity to find out about Dubrovnik and Croatia - their foundations, growth, zenith, fall, communism, recent war from 1991 and current times. Our guides will captivate you with their stories while you'll have so many photo opportunities you probably won't move your finger from the shutter. Our groups are smaller, our guides are local, they have an official license and they are fun. Also, visiting the walls will be a moderate workout since there are about 1.000 stairs, but just like with anything in life - if you want great photos and tales to tell after your holidays, it's worth putting a little bit of effort into it :)
