TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Dubrovnik Cable Car & Old Town Shore Excursion

This 4 hour private tour pairs Dubrovnik's best viewpoint with a walking tour of its Old Town. Your licensed guide meets you at the pier, and you begin with a round-trip ride on the Dubrovnik cable car, which climbs to the summit of Mount Srd, more than 1,300 feet above sea level, for panoramic views of the city walls, rooftops, the sea and the surrounding mountains.

Back down from the cable car, you drive to the Pile Gate, where a statue of the city's patron saint, St. Blaise, greets visitors, and continue on foot along the Stradun, the Old Town's main marble-paved promenade lined with shopfronts and cafes.

Your walking tour includes the Franciscan Monastery, built in the Romanesque-Gothic style, where you visit its pharmacy, operating continuously since 1317 and 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, and its main altar holds a painting of the Assumption of the Virgin attributed to Titian, dating to around 1552.

Before the tour ends, you have some free time to browse a shop or stop for ice cream.

Jewish Heritage: if you would prefer to visit Dubrovnik's synagogue instead of the Cathedral, let us know at the time of booking so we can arrange it.

Mobility: a folding wheelchair can be accommodated, though some sites may be inaccessible. Please give advance notice if this applies to your group.

If this itinerary does not fit your plans, our Dubrovnik shore excursions can be customized. For larger groups, we can arrange a private tour using a mid-size bus or full-size coach. Contact us with any questions or for a custom quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if we're running late getting back to the ship in Dubrovnik?
That's exactly what our Back-to-Ship Guarantee is designed to prevent on Dubrovnik tours. If a delay caused by our tour operator keeps you from returning to the ship on time, we'll arrange and cover your transportation to catch up with the ship at its next port of call. To qualify, your tour needs to be scheduled to return at least 1.5 hours before the ship's departure, and you'll need to be back at the vehicle for every agreed meeting time during the day.
What's the deposit for a Dubrovnik shore excursion?
Your Dubrovnik spot is secured with a $50 per-tour deposit. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your tour date. If your plans change, that deposit isn't refundable, but it stays on your account as credit toward any tour for up to 3 years. Larger groups, custom itineraries, or tours involving flights or overnight stays may carry a bigger deposit and their own terms, which we'll spell out at booking.
Can I get a refund if I cancel my Dubrovnik tour?
A Dubrovnik cancellation made 15+ days before the tour date is refundable, less a $50 fee. Inside 14 days of the tour date, cancellations become non-refundable. One exception: if your ship simply doesn't call at Dubrovnik because of weather, mechanical issues, or political unrest, you'll get a full refund less the $50 fee. All cancellation requests need to be submitted in writing by email.
How do I find my driver when I arrive in Dubrovnik?
Cruise Ship: Your first step off the ship at Dubrovnik is to find the terminal's main public exit. Terminal building present? Walk through arrivals to the public pickup zone outside, with cruise staff able to point the way. No terminal building? Your driver's already waiting dockside. If you don't spot your contact right away, hold your position near the exit and call the dispatch number in your confirmation. Hotel: Look for your driver or guide right outside the main entrance or in the lobby -- they'll be holding a sign with your group name. Airport: Once you've collected your luggage and cleared customs, head into the arrivals hall -- your driver or guide will be there holding a sign with your group name.
Do I need to pay separately for admission tickets on my Dubrovnik tour?
For Dubrovnik tours, entrance fees are included exactly where the tour page lists them. Keep in mind some venues require timed, skip-the-line tickets that become non-refundable the moment they're purchased. We'll flag any non-refundable entrance fees for you at booking.
Can we add a stop to our Dubrovnik tour that isn't on the standard itinerary?
Private touring in Dubrovnik comes with real room to adjust the plan. Mention any must-see sight to your driver or guide at pickup, and they'll do their best to work it in. Traffic and time constraints can occasionally limit how much we can change, but your guide will always try to keep things personal.

5 of 5 Review Location- Dubrovnik Sunday, June 14, 2026
Reviewer: Norah W from Pasig City, Philippines  
I contacted Ken well in advance of the trip for a work group celebrating a big anniversary. The communication was amazing. The entire trip was flawless and the guides were professional, on time and so incredibly knowledgeable of the particular areas. Their English was perfect and we were all amazed at their level of knowledge. They were always ready to make recommendations for lunch and snacks as well as tips and tricks.  THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Reviewer: Sarah H from Santa Barbara, CA  
Thank you for contact me.  We all had a great time with your company.  We found your guides to be ontime and the vehicles were clean and perfect and the AC worked!  We did take a ship tour Palma and that was aweful - especially after being spoiled with private tours in Italy, Spain and France.  Our 17 day sailing went very smooth.   Ill write a nice review on trip advisor.  The guide in La Rochelle was the most wonderful lady.  She was a sommelier and she had us tasting the best wines.
