Join your professional local guide on this fascinating tour to discover the turbulent recent history of Dubrovnik, the beautiful walled city by the sea that has witnessed more than its share of tragedy and war.
Defenses & fortification system of Dubrovnik
Your guide will lead you on top of and around the city walls for breathtaking views of the port and the old town. You'll discover why the city walls served as essential structures protecting the people and wealth of the old town for centuries.
This historic walk will focus on the defensive and political challenges faced by Dubrovnik in its struggle to survive as a tiny (yet prosperous) independent republic facing serious threats from powerful and dangerous enemies. Over the centuries, the leaders and the walls of Dubrovnik both held firm.
This tour is a bit steep due to all the stairs on the city walls and therefore not suitable for everyone. It is also not suitable for pregnant women and there are no planned bathroom breaks in this 2-hour tour.

“Wall & Wars Tour ”
Goran was an excellent guide and this was our favorite tour in Dubrovnik. The tour was informative, engaging, and beautiful. We went in the morning and that made tour feel significantly cooler. Goran told us about the history of the Old Town and about himself and allowed the group to ask any questions about the city or his own personal experiences and opinions. Highly recommended both this your and Goran as a guide.

“Fantastic Walls and Wars Tour”
Our guide, Marko, was the best. He pulled no punches about whom was responsible for the wars over the centuries and he was so animated. It was a pleasure to be on his tour and we were lucky that there were only 5 in the group. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
