Description

Dubrovnik's Old Town is one of the most complete medieval cities in the world, and most visitors only scratch the surface. Join a private tour with Rosotravel, led by a private licensed guide, through the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Choose from 4 options and book today.

Book a 2-hour private walking tour and begin at Lovrjenac Fortress, the clifftop stronghold whose gate bears one of Dubrovnik's most defiant inscriptions: 'Liberty is not to be sold for all the gold in the world.' Your Private Licensed Guide leads you through Pile Gate into the Old Town, up the sweeping Jesuit Stairs to a rooftop viewpoint over the Adriatic, and on to Saint Blaise's Church on Luža Square. You pass the City Walls entrance before ending at the Old Port viewpoint, where the harbour and the Adriatic open up before you.

Choose a 3-hour option to also enter the Church of St. Ignatius, a striking 18th-century Baroque church modelled on the Church of the Gesù in Rome, perched at the top of the Jesuit Stairs. The route also extends to include Minčeta Tower and the Old Harbour quarter, with your Licensed Guide adding richer context to the city's maritime past.

Choose a 4-hour option to also enter Rector's Palace with tickets included. This is where the elected Rector of the Ragusan republic lived and governed for one month at a time, a system designed to prevent any single person from gaining too much power. Your Licensed Guide walks you through the Gothic-Renaissance halls, state rooms, courtroom, and dungeon, bringing the republic's political system to life in the building where it operated.

Choose a 6-hour option to also walk the City Walls with Skip-the-Line Tickets included. The full 2-kilometre circuit takes you above the Old Town's rooftops and along the sea-facing ramparts. Your Licensed Guide points out the contrast between old and new roof tiles, visible evidence of the 1991 siege, and explains the defensive logic behind one of the best-preserved fortification systems in Europe. Skip-the-Line Tickets mean you bypass the ticket-office queue.

Book your spot today and see Dubrovnik the way it deserves to be seen.
