Pickup offered
Offered in: English

Make the most of your time in Dubrovnik with a panoramic tour covering key sights, a historical lesson, photography, and a visit to the Old Town, all in just a few hours! Travel comfortably in an air-conditioned minivan to Srđ Hill with views of the Old Town and Adriatic, Franjo Tuđman Bridge, Ombla River, and more.

Why choose our tour?

Why pay €30 per person for a 7-minute cable car round trip with one stop, or take a hop-on hop-off bus with only 2–3 stops, no Srđ Hill, large crowds, and no AC, which can be tough in summer? Our tour offers more viewpoints, live commentary, and a small-group or private experience for the similar or lower price! Enjoy a local guide, round-trip transport from your address in Dubrovnik city, and plenty of photo stops.
Discover Dubrovnik’s rich history — from its founding by Epidaurum refugees, through the Republic’s golden age, the 1990s Homeland War, to today
