From Split & Trogir: Dubrovnik Guided Day Tour

1. From Split & Trogir: Dubrovnik Guided Day Tour

Embark on a guided tour of Dubrovnik and its fortified Old Town. Come across major local landmarks and enjoy plenty of free time to explore at your own pace. Travel along the Adriatic coast and visit Ston for the chance to try their famous oysters. Start your tour on a very comfortable air-conditioned bus, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the view of the breathtaking Mediterranean scenery. Based on the previous agreement with the driver, you can stop to stretch your legs and take some fantastic photos. After arriving in Dubrovnik, one of the most outstanding tourist destinations in the Mediterranean, you will meet your local guide and start an hour-and-a-half-long walking tour through the narrow streets of the historic core of Dubrovnik. Explore this fantastic UNESCO World Heritage site and learn everything about its history and monuments. Take in Renaissance and Baroque architecture, red brick roofs, and long walls that have resisted enemy attacks through the centuries. Explore the Old Town's central street Stradun, the Franciscan Monastery, the renaissance Rector's Palace, the town walls, the Lovrjenac Fortress, and many picturesque squares and churches. After the walking tour with the local professional guide, you will have enough time to explore Dubrovnik independently. Make the most of your free time and stop by one of the local restaurants to taste some delicious traditional food. It's not a bad idea to ride on the cable car to the top of the Srd Mountain and enjoy the breathtaking view of Dubrovnik and its surroundings. You can also go to the local beach, take a quick swim, buy tickets for the Walls, and look at the city from a completely different angle. Since you have approximately four hours of free time, plan your activities before the trip since it is impossible to do all listed above. This perfectly well-spent day in Dubrovnik, you will get back on the bus and start your journey back to the northwest alongside the Adriatic coast. We’ll pass the villages of Orašac, Trsteno, Salona, and Elaphiti islands to our side to arrive in Ston where you will have the opportunity to taste our famous freshest oysters. Just the right break before arriving back in Split.

If you're a fan of game of thrones, Dubrovnik is a must! And if you're not, Dubrovnik is still a must! The old town is just beautiful and walking around the walls, taking in the views is breathtaking. You get 4 hours free time on this trip, which is plenty but it does go by quickly! Petar, the guide, is on hand to answer any questions and is very helpful and passionate about his country and the history. It was a pleasure to have him as a guide for both this trip and the trip to Mostar (booked seperately). There is plenty to see and do in Dubrovik during your spare time, I only wish I had made it to Lokrum Island. Looks like I'll be returning so I can tick that off!

I thought that the full day excursion to Dubrovnik (from Split) was an incredible deal (price wise) and an amazing experience considering it was only 12 hours. The ride was long but comfortable and scenic - with explanations of the sites all along the way. Once in Dubrovnik we had an informative walking tour and received recommendations on what to do in our free time (4 hours - which is quite good). I took advantage of these suggestions and found my day and journey to be both enjoyable and memorable.

Great trip, would definitely recommend Smooth journey with lovely views Petra was a great guide, lots of information and tips. Got an hour long walking tour and then 4 hours of free time

Ant and Petar where great hosts. The city is stunning and we learnt a ton about Croatia. The walls are a must but cost approx 500knr.

The trip was great, Dubrovnik is a beautiful city, just like the pictures.
