About this tour

This private Dubrovnik City Walls tour offers a complete walk along the UNESCO-listed fortifications surrounding the Old City. As you move across towers, bastions, and defensive passages, your guide explains how Dubrovnik used strategy, diplomacy, and maritime power to survive between far larger empires.

Beyond the spectacular views, the walls reveal how carefully the Republic protected itself – not only from military threats, but also from political and economic instability. The experience combines history, architecture, and some of the most impressive viewpoints in Dubrovnik into a focused and immersive private walking tour.

Note: The City Walls include many steep staircases and uneven stone surfaces, making the tour physically demanding, especially during summer months.

Jelena was fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour; it was very detailed, covering almost all of the Old Town. She also pointed out various locations from Game of Thrones. I would recommend this tour to anyone, regardless of their interest in the series. As a native, Jelena was able to answer our questions about Dubrovnik and provided valuable insights into its history and current appeal from her perspective.

Jalena, was a terrific guide! Though we are not Game of Thrones fans we still enjoyed it. Most of what she shared was history and information not just about the show. She did share enough and all the highlights of the filming so those that were fans enjoyed that as well.

Our guide was Branko Jakobović. He was excellent. I learned so much about the filming, the actors and the cinematic ‘deception’ methods used in GoT. Thoroughly enjoyable even tho I have never watched a single moment of the show. It’s my wife who was the fan. Highly recommended even if you aren’t a fan.

Jelena’s GoT/history walking tour was outstanding! She’s a super-nerd of the show and knew all the locations and explained how HBO did the filming and various special effects. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Dubrovnik, very friendly and personable to talk to, and generally made the whole morning really fun! She did a great job integrating the actual history and the fantasy world together to paint a vivid picture of Dubrovnik. I absolutely recommend her tour for anyone who has watched Game of Thrones and wants to be immersed in the world of King’s Landing for a couple of hours!

Really great tour. Jelena was excellent and presented the information in an interesting way. We saw lots of sights around beautiful Dubrovnik. Would have liked a little more general history info but really am being overly critical of a most excellent tour.

Jelena was everything you want from a guide – very knowledgeable, personable, interesting and fun. She provided excellent historical and cultural context re Dubrovnik and clearly knows her stuff re Game of Thrones, including her memories of the production of the show in the Old Town. She certainly added a great deal to our Dubrovnik experience.

Having just returned from a trip to Croatia, this was not only the best tour from my trip but possibly the best tour I’ve ever had.

Having lived in Dubrovnik her entire life, our guide Jelena from Dubrovnik Storytellers not only brings a wealth of Game of Thrones knowledge from the show and the books but was there during filming. This allowed her to give insights other guides lack, including pictures from the show’s sets, backdrops, and use of green screens, vividly describing how the show was filmed in this beautiful city.

Just as importantly, her tour is also filled with Croatian and Dubrovnik history making this also a great in-depth tour of the Old Town.

Thank you, Jelena, for an amazing, fun and memorable day.

The tour exceeded our expectations as it balanced the history of Dubrovnik with Game of Thrones insights. The tour size was nice compared to so many other tours going on at the same time. It’s a great way to start your time in Dubrovnik and get a feel for where to spend the rest of your time here.
