This 2.5 hour private tour is a compact introduction to Dubrovnik, the walled Adriatic city known as the Pearl of the Adriatic. Your licensed guide meets you at the pier and takes you first to a viewpoint for photos of the city and its fortified walls.
From there you drive to the Pile Gate, where a statue of the city's patron saint, St. Blaise, greets visitors. From here you explore the Old Town on foot along the Stradun, the city's main promenade, paved in marble and lined with shopfronts and cafes.
Your walking tour includes the Franciscan Monastery, built in the Romanesque-Gothic style and considered an architectural masterpiece. Inside, you visit its pharmacy, which has operated continuously since 1317 and is widely regarded as the oldest still-operating pharmacy in Europe.
You also visit Dubrovnik Cathedral and its Treasury. The current Baroque cathedral was built between 1671 and 1713 to replace an earlier Romanesque cathedral destroyed in the Great Earthquake of 1667. Its main altar holds a painting of the Assumption of the Virgin attributed to Titian, dating to around 1552. The Cathedral Treasury holds a collection of reliquaries, several of which are carried in procession through the city each year on the Feast of St. Blaise, February 3rd.
At the end of the tour, your guide returns you to the pier.
