Game of Thrones & Dubrovnik Tour

This was one of the best ways to learn about the history of Dubrovnik, with the added bonus of standing in the locations used for filming Game of Thrones! Our tour guide Josip was very funny, engaging and knowledgable. We went on a really hot day, and he was great at finding us shade to stand in for the talks and gave us plenty of time to stop and recover from the many steep hills and steps! I would highly recommend this tour, just be mindful that you are exposed to the sun for a long time, so be mindful of the time of day you book it if visiting in the hot summer months. Also be aware that the tour includes a visit to the fort which you have to pay extra for (but you can use your ticket for a discount if visiting the city walls, or if you've already walked the city walls then keep your ticket as it grants you free access to the fort while on this tour).

You’re in Dubrovnik, so how could you not do a GOT tour? Cliché, I know but what’s the harm in a short one? Let’s face it, after this tour, we will have to rewatch the series and see all of the places we saw on this tour (in addition to several others in Europe). I like that the guide comes ready with photos of the scenes that were filmed were you stand. I really brings you in. Our guide, Tihomir was great. It’s interesting to hear the stories both about the history but also about the specific locations you visit. There are longer tours that take you to other locations beyond what this tour does, but we felt this was a nice balance to see some of the highlights but not have to spend most of a day on a longer tour.

We are Game of Thrones fans. Not the die hard, know every detail, live and breathe fans. But we love watching the show. What better opportunity to take a Game of Thrones tour then when actually in King's Landing (Dubrovnik).

The tour is two hours and 25 EUR, which I was worried would be too long especially since we walked the entire wall that morning. However, it was a great tour and time flew by. There is a lot of walking but the guide was fantastic very informative. 
She is a repeat extra on the show so she gave us behind the scenes GOT series info. She had a flip book with pictures from the various scenes in show to remind us of the specific scene and background. This was super helpful.

One thing to note is all Game of Thrones tours take you to St. Lawrence Fort, which has separate entrance fee. If you have your City Walls ticket with you, this gets you the entrance to the fort.

Would definitely recommend this tour!

Had fantastic informative & pleasant walking tour with Josef. Such a polite & friendly young man who had superb delivery & spoke excellent English. Always happy to answer any queries & had incredible knowledge of both Dubrovnik & Croatia. Would definitely recommend to any British tourist.

Could not recommend this guided walk and the guide more highly. This guided tour was really excellent and very good value. My wife and I went on the Red Umbrella guided walking tour of Dubrovnik in early October 2023 with local Guide Ivana who spoke superb English clearly, and loud enough for all to hear. Ivana was a fantastic communicator and made the walk an enjoyable informative interactive experience. She was a local, born bought, educated and still living in Dubrovnik town additionally working as a Professor at the local university.

On the walk Ivana spoke about Dubrovnik, it’s buildings, it’s history, architecture, traditions, food, education, language, neighbours, etc so many things, but in an an interesting and absorbing way, not just presenting a tired text, but interacting with the group and interlacing the information with personal experiences and family stories. We really enjoyed the walk and the time seemed to go so quickly, and because of the way it was presented our attention was always on what was being said and we learnt and remembered so much.
