Travel back in time to a town that predates even Dubrovnik on this historic sightseeing shore tour. After visiting one of the shortest rivers in the world – the beautiful spring of river Ombla and short break on Franjo Tuđman bridge, we are climbing to Mount Srđ (fort Imperial and upper Dubrovnik cable car station) for several photo stops and a museum visit.
Leaving Mt. Srđ, you will drive along the southern coastline to the small town of Cavtat. According to historians, the Roman tribe who settled Cavtat, which was then called Epidaurum, later founded Dubrovnik, after fleeing from Slavic neighbors and their hometown in the early 7th century A.D. You will visit the remains of this ancient civilization and have some free time to explore the seaside promenades and peaceful streets of Cavtat. Your guide will tell you the story of our region, from its humble beginnings through many political and cultural milestones up to the Yugoslav War of the 1990s.
This shore excursion can be fulfilled with one of the Dubrovnik old town walking tour options by our licensed guide, shared or a private. You are also eligible to have free time in old town and to schedule transfer back to the cruise ship when you are ready to call it a day.
Our expert Old Town guide will teach you a much as you would like to know about the history of Dubrovnik, from its foundation in the early 7th century to the Homeland War of the 1990s and everyday life. On this hour and a half long tour you will see Onofrio´s Fountain and the Franciscan Monastery, home to Europe´s oldest working pharmacy, as you stroll down the famous Stradun. Learn about the Republic´s advanced political system and economic prowess as we pass by Sponza Palace and Rector´s Palace. As this is private walking tour, it can be adapted according to your wishes.
Mary - Lou G: „On the very busy national holiday our cruise ship called at Dubrovnik, Ivo managed to avoid most of the heavy traffic & crowds to provide 6 of us (3 couples) an outstanding tour of a great number of different important, interesting sites—both in the city & countryside, where he curated many fabulous photo ops. He was a most gracious, charming, & FUN driver/guide, with passionate, thorough, insightful historical, political, & cultural information. We never felt rushed, even though we saw & learned so much!“ Read more

Patricia: „We had a group of nine family members and no one was disappointed! Our driver Soren ( sorry if I butchered his name!) for the first half of the tour was amazing. He was so engaging with us and made sure we saw the beautiful spots and talked about each point of interest in a very enjoyable way. He took photos of our group and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The second half of the tour was a walking tour of the old town with Dorothea. She took us through an amazing journey inside the walls of the city and was very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this tour and guides! Thank you all“ Read more
