Two Options for Different Travel Styles
The leading choices receive full photo-led profiles, while the table preserves a third option for another traveler type.
For a wall-centered route with a small group, this is the clearest choice.
Walls Of Dubrovnik: Small-Group Walking Tour With A Local
Best for: Travelers who want a guided walk centered on Dubrovnik’s city walls with a small group and a local guide.
This tour is the strongest match for travelers who want their walking experience centered on Dubrovnik’s city walls rather than a broader city overview. The route is built around walking on top of and around the walls, with commentary shaped by local guides who are described as history-focused. The small-group setup keeps the experience intimate, with no more than eight guests per guide. It also suits travelers who want a structured guided pace, since the route emphasizes key wall features and viewpoints. Note that entrance tickets for the City Walls are not included, so this is best for people who are comfortable handling that separately.
Why choose this walls-focused tour
- Small-group format with no more than eight guests per guide
- Guided walk on top of and around the city walls
- Professionally licensed English-speaking guide included
For a private themed walk with built-in photo stops, this is the most specific match.
Dubrovnik Private Game of Thrones Walking Tour
Best for: Travelers who want a private, themed walking tour focused on Game of Thrones filming locations.
This option is best for travelers who want a private experience with a clear theme. The tour is built around Game of Thrones filming locations in Dubrovnik’s Old Town, and the itinerary includes photo opportunities as well as time at the Iron Throne replica. Because it is private, the pace can feel more flexible than a shared group tour, which may suit couples, friends, or families who want the guide’s attention for their own group. The included guide is a local licensed guide. Some items are not included, including gratuities, hotel pickup and drop-off, and Fort St. Lawrence entry if needed, so travelers should read the details carefully before booking.
Why choose this private themed tour
- Private tour exclusively for your group, up to eight guests
- Guided visit to Game of Thrones filming locations in Dubrovnik’s Old Town
- Includes an Iron Throne photo opportunity
Choosing your Dubrovnik walking-tour style
If you want a tightly focused itinerary, the walls tour is the most specialized choice. If you prefer privacy and a theme, the Game of Thrones walk fits that style, while the Old Town overview is better for travelers who want a broader first look with the option to extend later.

Dubrovnik booking checklist
- Check what is included before booking, especially guide service, entry fees, and any extras tied to your chosen route.
- Private tours may offer more control over pace, but they still have limits on group size and may exclude pickup or drop-off.
- If you want the most specific experience, choose the tour that matches your main interest rather than assuming any walking tour will cover the same route.
