Walking Through King’s Landing- Private Game of Thrones Tour

Kings Landing feels very real in Dubrovnik. This two-hour private tour takes you through Dubrovnik’s Old Town and up to Fort Lovrijenac, the screen version of the Red Keep. I like the one-guide, one-group format, and I especially like that the tour combines filming locations with Dubrovnik’s own past instead of treating the city as a movie set alone. The main drawback is the fort’s long stair climb, which can be tough if you have knee problems or limited mobility.

The price is $104 per group of up to two people, making it a reasonable choice for a couple who wants personal attention. Fort Lovrijenac costs an additional €15 per person unless you have a valid Dubrovnik Pass or a City Walls ticket bought within the previous 72 hours. Guide Edi earned high praise for explaining both Game of Thrones and Dubrovnik, so this tour seems strongest for fans who want a lively, focused walk rather than a large group outing.

Key points at a glance

• Fort Lovrijenac is the big prize: The fortress served as the Red Keep and offers scenic views after a demanding climb.
• Private for up to two people: You get a more personal pace, with room to ask questions and focus on favorite scenes.
• Edi receives top marks: His ability to connect Game of Thrones with Dubrovnik’s past is a major reason to book with confidence.
• The meeting point is easy to find: Start at Brsalje ul. 10, near Pile and just below the Hilton Hotel.
• Budget for the fort ticket: The tour price does not include the €15 Lovrijenac admission fee.
• Two hours is a good length: You get a concentrated look at the Old Town and fort without giving up half a day.

Starting near Pile and the Hilton Hotel

The tour begins at Brsalje ul. 10, 20000 Dubrovnik, in the Pile area. The meeting point is between the Hilton Hotel and Restaurant Silk, directly under the Hilton and above the street. The listed coordinates are 42.6423414, 18.105186.

This is a useful starting point because Pile sits right beside Dubrovnik’s Old Town. You are close to the main western entrance, so the walk quickly moves from modern Dubrovnik into the old stone streets and walls that helped create King’s Landing on screen.

I would arrive a little early. The meeting point is specific, but busy streets, hotel entrances, and nearby restaurants can make a first visit confusing. Having the address and coordinates ready on your phone should help.

The guide leads the tour in English or Croatian. Since this is a private group, you can ask for extra explanation about a favorite character, a particular scene, or the way the city was used during filming. That personal exchange is the main difference between this tour and a larger group walk.

The Old Town as King’s Landing

The Old Town section takes you through filming locations in and around Dubrovnik’s historic center. You can expect a guided walk, photo stops, scenic views, and stories about the places where political schemes, confrontations, and battles were set.

The appeal is not only spotting familiar corners. Dubrovnik’s narrow streets and high stone walls already have the severe, enclosed look that made them useful for King’s Landing. The tour gives you a chance to connect the real city with the fictional capital, then see how the two versions differ.

I like that the experience includes more than a list of filming locations. The guide is also expected to explain Dubrovnik’s culture and past, which gives the settings some context. A staircase or old alley is more interesting when you understand its place in the city, rather than simply hearing that a scene was filmed there.

You will have time for photographs along the route. That matters here because many locations are best appreciated from several angles. The Old Town is also full of visual details, and a private guide can pause for a question or a better photo when the schedule allows.

The possible weakness is that the Old Town can feel familiar to anyone who has already taken a general Dubrovnik walking tour. The Game of Thrones focus is what gives this visit its purpose. If you are not interested in the series, the tour may offer less value than a standard city history walk.

Reaching Fort Lovrijenac, the Red Keep

Fort Lovrijenac is the key stop. Built outside the Old Town on a rocky position above the sea, it was used as the Red Keep in Game of Thrones. The setting gives the tour its strongest visual moment, with fortress walls, open views, and a clear sense of why the location worked so well on screen.

Getting there requires many steps. The climb is an important practical detail, not a footnote. Anyone with impaired movement or knee injuries should think carefully before booking, since the route to the fort may be uncomfortable or unsuitable.

Once inside, the guide explains the fort’s role in the show and points out relevant views and spaces. The experience includes a guided visit and photo opportunities, so you are not simply paying for entry and wandering alone.

The fort ticket is not included. Admission costs €15 per person as of 2026, payable on-site in euros or by credit card. You can also buy the ticket online. If you hold a valid Dubrovnik Pass, or a City Walls ticket purchased within the last 72 hours, admission to Lovrijenac is included.

This extra charge does go toward maintenance and preservation of the walls, overseen by the Society of Friends of Dubrovnik Antiquities. That makes the fee easier to accept, but you should still include it in your budget before booking. For two people without a qualifying pass, the additional cost is €30.

Why the private format matters

A private tour can sound like a small luxury, but here it has a practical benefit. The advertised price covers a group of up to two people, giving a couple a guide’s full attention for two hours.

You can ask questions without slowing down a large party. You can also spend more time on the parts that matter to you, within the available schedule. A serious Game of Thrones fan might want more scene detail, while someone interested in Dubrovnik’s past may prefer fewer television references and more local context.

The private setup also makes the tour easier to follow. You are not trying to hear a guide over a crowd, and the experience should feel more like a conversation than a formal lecture.

There is a limit, of course. The tour lasts only two hours, so it cannot provide a full survey of every filming location in Dubrovnik. It is best viewed as a concentrated introduction to the Old Town and Lovrijenac, not an all-day production tour.

The price is strongest for two people. At $104 for the group, the per-person cost is about $52 before the fort ticket. For one person, the same group rate feels less attractive. For a couple who values private attention, the price is easier to justify.

Edi’s role in the experience

Guide Edi receives the clearest praise connected with this tour. One verified booking described him as highly informed about both Game of Thrones and Dubrovnik, while another called his tour brilliant. Those comments point to the quality you should value most: not just knowing where scenes were filmed, but explaining why the places matter.

A good guide makes the difference on a filming-location walk. Without context, you may see a staircase, wall, or fortress and simply take a picture. With Edi, you can expect the show’s stories to be linked with the city’s own background.

The private format should give you a good chance to test the tour’s depth. Ask about a scene you remember, the difference between the real location and its television version, or how Dubrovnik’s character shaped the fictional setting. The included interactive element specifically allows questions and participation.

The published ratings are excellent, but there are only two written ratings available. I would treat that as encouraging rather than final proof. Still, both comments focus on Edi’s guiding, which is exactly the part of the experience most likely to determine whether the tour feels worthwhile.

Views, photographs, and the pace of two hours

The route includes scenic views and photo stops in the Old Town and at Lovrijenac. The fort is especially useful for photographs because its position gives you a different angle on Dubrovnik than you get from inside the city streets.

Two hours is long enough for a focused visit and short enough to fit around other plans. You could schedule it during a morning or afternoon in Dubrovnik without losing an entire day. Check the available starting times when booking, since the tour does not list one fixed daily departure.

The pace may feel brisk if you want to stop often. You are walking through the Old Town, then dealing with the steps to Lovrijenac, and returning toward the Old Town. Since the route is on foot, wear comfortable shoes and bring water. Drinks are not included, and the supplier specifically advises that water is your own expense.

The fort and Old Town both reward taking your time, but the schedule cannot stretch indefinitely. Tell the guide early if photographs or certain filming locations are your priority. A private tour gives you more flexibility than a large group, although the two-hour limit still applies.

What is included and what is not

The tour includes a licensed guide, private participation, historical and cultural explanations, scenic viewpoints, photo stops, and customer support. The emphasis is on guided interpretation rather than transport or refreshments.

You need to arrange your own way to the meeting point and pay personal expenses. No water or other drink is supplied. The Fort Lovrijenac admission fee is also separate.

The fort ticket rule is worth repeating because it is easy to miss. Pay €15 per person at the fort unless your Dubrovnik Pass or recent City Walls ticket includes entry. You can pay in euros or by credit card.

The operator also allows cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour for a full refund. A reserve-now, pay-later option is available, which may help if your Dubrovnik schedule is still changing.

Who should book this Dubrovnik tour?

I would recommend it first to a couple who both enjoy Game of Thrones and want a private guide. The group size keeps the experience personal, and the combination of Old Town streets with Lovrijenac gives you two different types of filming location.

It also suits visitors who want a compact activity. If you have only a short stay in Dubrovnik, two hours can provide a clear introduction to the city’s screen locations without taking over your day.

Fans with limited mobility should think twice. The many steps to Lovrijenac are the main concern, and there is no suggestion that an alternative route is available. If you have knee trouble or difficulty with stairs, ask the operator before booking.

This is less suitable for a group larger than two if you want the advertised private rate. The supplied price covers up to two people, so larger parties may need different arrangements or another booking structure.

Should you book Walking Through King’s Landing?

Book this tour if you want personal attention, a strong Game of Thrones focus, and a visit to the Red Keep at Lovrijenac. The private format, central meeting point, and short duration make it easy to fit into a Dubrovnik visit. Edi’s praise for explaining both the series and the city adds a welcome reason to expect a well-led experience.

Skip it if you are not a fan of the show, dislike steep stairways, or want a broad historical tour of Dubrovnik instead. Also remember to add the fort admission to the advertised price unless your Dubrovnik Pass or recent City Walls ticket covers it.

For the right pair of visitors, this is a focused and fairly priced way to see Dubrovnik through the lens of King’s Landing, with enough local context to keep the real city from disappearing behind the television story.
