★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $248

Explore Dubrovnik’s Game of Thrones filming sites, Lokrum Island, Trsteno gardens, Lovrijenac Fortress, and Mount Srd on a private tour.

“Dubrovnik was a surprise to our group (6 adults)! We met our tour guide, Andrea and our driver just outside the port. Transportation was in a very comfortable, air conditioned van. We had a limited amount of time in Dubrovnik, so we were offered some options for our tour. We went to the overlook on the top of the mountain, to some beautiful gardens, and then into the city walls. Andrea's knowledge of Dubrovnik and the Game of Thrones made the tour very interesting! We wish we would have had more time to spend in Dubrovnik.”
