Dubrovnik turns into Kings Landing fast. This private walk pairs Game of Thrones filming locations with real Dubrovnik sights, from Blackwater Bay-style stops to the City Walls for big panoramic views. You’ll also get a Game of Thrones album to match what you see on the street with what’s on screen.

I love how the route stays tight and purposeful: you cover major Old Town highlights without wasting time on random corners. I also like that the guide brings the show to life with photos/illustrations that help you line up scenes versus what’s there today. One thing to consider: you’ll be walking on uneven historic surfaces and you may climb steps at the fort and on the walls, so it’s not a great fit if you have knee issues.

Quick hits for this private GOT and City Wall day

• Kolorina Bay stop that lines up with the Blackwater Bay feel from the show
• Lovrijenac Fortress as the stand-in for the Red Keep, with a spectacular Old Town view
• Your GOT album makes it easier to recognize locations fast
• Old Town walking route through Stradun, Shame Stairs area, and Pile Gate
• City Walls time with your guide for views plus more show locations
• Private group format means a conversation pace you control

Where the tour starts at Amerling Fountain (and why that matters)

The tour begins at Amerling Fountain (Ul. Svetog Đurđa), next to Dubravka restaurant. This is a good starting point because it’s central, easy to find on foot, and it sets you up to move through the Old Town in a logical loop.

You’ll meet your licensed guide, get the rundown of the program, and then get right into both threads: Dubrovnik’s past and the Game of Thrones connections. The pacing is designed for a walking tour, so plan for comfortable shoes from the start.

The tour ends inside the Old Town on Stradun. That matters if you’re planning a meal next—Stara Luka style dining and quick wandering are right there once you’re done.

Kolorina Bay: the Blackwater Bay feeling in Dubrovnik

The first stop is Kolorina Bay, tied to the BlackwaterBay look from the series. Your guide will point out highlights from the filming location, including where the show’s storyline “moves” to and from—plus details that help you recognize specific moments when you compare the show stills to the real spot.

There’s no admission cost for this stop, and the time here is short (about 15 minutes). That’s actually a good thing on a day like this: you get the most visual payoff without burning the schedule before the more vertical parts of the tour.

Practical note: this is a viewing/spotting stop, so bring your phone camera and be ready to pause. If you’re the type who wants to ask a dozen questions, tell your guide early so they can steer the conversation without rushing.

Lovrijenac Fortress: Red Keep vibes and real Old Town viewpoints

Next you’ll head to Lovrijenac Fortress (often connected in fans’ minds to the Red Keep). On the way, your guide shares behind-the-scenes style details about the actors and filming moments.

Then you reach the fort—St. Lawrence Fortress—and this is one of the most valuable parts of the day. Why? Because it combines show references with Dubrovnik’s defensive architecture, and you get a view over the Old Town from above.

Admission here is 15 EUR, and the tour notes that this fee can function as a discount toward your later City Walls entrance. If you’re not using a Dubrovnik Pass, this is worth understanding so you don’t accidentally pay full price twice.

You also get a little breathing room in the fort (including free time for restroom). That break helps you handle the rest of the walking without feeling pressed.

Stradun: the show’s “main street” walk-through

After the fort, the route brings you to Stradun, Dubrovnik’s best-known street in Old Town. Your guide shows you where the series filmed there too, and the walking portion helps the “Kings Landing” feeling click because you’re moving through the same kind of street perspective.

This stop is about 15 minutes, and the ticket cost is free. The quick timing is good because Stradun can be busy depending on the season, and the value here is mostly in the interpretation—where to look, what angles mattered on camera, and what to notice now.

If you care about photos, keep in mind you’ll be walking on historic stone and tight spots. Don’t wait until the last second to take pictures—pause when your guide stops pointing.

Shame Stairs and Ivan Gundulić’s monument area

You’ll then see Monument of Poet Ivan Gundulić, and the tour ties it to the famous Shame Stairs area (also connected with Ivan Gundulić Square and the farmer market area). This is a short, mostly “look-and-understand” stop (around 10 minutes).

Ticket cost is free, so it’s a low-effort way to gain context. The trick here is to let your guide set the scene—these staircase moments make the Old Town feel theatrical, even when you’re not sure you’re walking “where the show happened.”

If you want to take steady photos, this is a place to slow down. Stairs and angles are easier to photograph when you’re not rushing to catch up.

Pile Gate: the Old Town entrance and a key GOT moment

The next key transition point is Pile Gate. This is the entrance of the Old Town, and your guide connects it to Kings Landing—including a specific moment related to where Joffrey was attacked by the people of King’s Landing.

This part of the tour is also brief (about 10 minutes) and free. That short stop works because it’s a hinge in the route: you’re moving from central Old Town streets toward the classic, wall-and-view portion of the day.

One consideration: gates and entry points are natural photo magnets. If you want clean shots without crowd interference, aim to step aside as your guide finishes the explanation.

Dubrovnik City Walls: the biggest payoff walk

Now comes the star: Dubrovnik City Walls. This is described as one of the most popular activities in Dubrovnik, and you’re not just paying to walk—you’re walking with your guide while they connect viewpoints to Game of Thrones locations.

Entrance for the walls is 35 EUR, and the tour notes you’ll pay 20 if you’ve already paid the 15 EUR fort fee (as a discount). If you have a Dubrovnik Pass, the tour says you may get entrance free for both attractions (fort and walls).

Expect about 1 hour on the walls. This is the section where you’ll feel why people plan their days around it: the Old Town feels dramatically different when you’re above it, and you’ll spot the city in layers.

About pace and comfort: walls mean stairs, uneven ground, and exposure to sun/wind. If the weather is hot, go slow and sip water when you can. If it’s windy, hold onto bags and keep an eye on footing.

If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, this is also where the guide’s album and photo references help you “read” the scenes in the real space. It’s not just trivia—it makes the experience legible.

Price and value: what you really pay for

The tour price is $119.83 per person, and that covers the private format plus a professional licensed guide and a Game of Thrones album. That’s your baseline value.

On top of that, you need to budget for two entrances:

• Lovrijenac Fortress: 15 EUR
• Dubrovnik City Walls: 35 EUR, but potentially reduced to 20 EUR if you paid the fort fee

The tour also states that the total entrance you should expect is €40 per person (unless you have a Dubrovnik Pass).

So the realistic cost range depends on your pass choice and whether you use the discount path. If you’re comparing this to a “see one wall viewpoint and move on” situation, the extra money is mostly for interpretation and timing: you’re not just walking, you’re getting a guide who connects locations to specific show moments and helps you find them quickly.

Private format also matters for value. You can ask questions at your pace, stop longer for photos, and keep the day from feeling like a rushed conveyor belt.

How long it takes, and what the walking feels like

The duration is about 2 hours 30 minutes. It’s not a marathon, but it is a walking tour through Old Town and up/around the fort and walls.

Your fitness requirement is listed as moderate, and it’s not recommended for travelers with knee problems. If knees are a question, you’ll want to think carefully about the fort and wall stairs.

What I’d plan for in your head:

• Short segments at each stop (10–15 minutes most of the time)
• One longer block on the walls (about an hour)
• Some photo pauses, but the guide keeps it moving

Also, it runs as a private tour, so your group size is whatever you book. That generally keeps the pace manageable, especially because the guide can adjust to questions and photo needs.

Your guide’s style: history, show photos, and a calm pace

A big reason this tour earns so many 5-star ratings is the guiding style described in the feedback you shared. Names you might see include Natasa, Ines, and Mihaela (also spelled Michaela), and guides commonly use scene photos/illustrations to help you match show moments to the current streetscape.

You should expect an easy conversation format: the guide answers questions and adjusts pace so you’re not left rushing to catch up. That matters most on a tour that blends fiction locations with real architectural details—if you’re into both, it keeps the day fun rather than confusing.

There’s also an example of guides going beyond the script. In one story, Mihaela helped a guest contact an Uber driver and backtrack after losing a wallet just before the tour. Obviously, you shouldn’t book expecting emergencies—but it does signal the team’s attitude: helpful, attentive, and human.

A practical plan for photos and comfortable pacing

Even with a guide, you’ll get better results if you come ready.

• Wear shoes you trust on stone and stairs.
• Bring water for the walls segment, especially in warmer months.
• Charge your phone before you start, since the album plus photos can trigger lots of quick comparisons.
• Expect some sun and wind on the walls; sunglasses can help.
• Use the fort’s free time for restroom needs so you’re not stuck later on the wall walk.

If you’re traveling with family, this tour can still work because it moves through compact areas, but it helps to set expectations. Everyone should be ready for uneven walking and steps.

Should you book this private Game of Thrones and City Wall tour?

Book it if you want Dubrovnik in two layers at once: the show locations plus how the city’s real design shaped the filming feel. The combination of a licensed guide, a GOT album, and a full city wall walk with context is the real differentiator.

Pass on it (or choose a gentler plan) if you have knee problems or know stairs and uneven surfaces will ruin the day. Also, if you’re short on time and only want one or two classic viewpoints, this route is still great—but you’ll get more satisfaction if you’re ready to walk and pause.

If you’re deciding between this and a cheaper, less guided option, think about your goal. If your goal is to leave understanding where key moments happened and why those spots look the way they do from the walls and streets, this private format is a strong use of your time.
