Private Panoramic Dubrovnik, Old City and Cavtat
Spend a wonderful day experiencing multiple sides of Croatia, from the ancient walls of Dubrovnik’s Old Town to the modern seaside mansions in Cavtat.
Your journey begins as you leave the port behind for Pile Square at the entrance to the Old Town. Your private, local guide will take you through narrow, medieval streets to the marbled street of Stadun, the main street in the city; while here, check out Onofrio’s fountain and the Franciscan monastery.
Continue to Luza square in the heart of the city, stopping at the church of St. Blaise and Orlando’s column. While in Old Town you will see the Memorial room at Sponza’s Palace, the beautiful facade of Dubrovnik Cathedral and the impressive Rector’s Palace, then enjoy some free time to shop and explore Old Town on your own.
From there you will travel next to Konavle Valley where you will arrive at a traditional, Croatian family-run tavern and be greeted with brandy, liqueur, figs, and seasonal fruit. Take a small tour around the tavern while your lunch is being prepared, then be treated to a mouthwatering lunch of Veal accompanied by goat cheese, prosciutto, skuta, baked vegetables, soup, salad and homemade bread. Top of your meal with a delicious piece of homemade apple pie as you relax and watch a unique folkloric show.
Then it’s back on the road to Cavtat, a quaint seaside resort town brimming with waterside shops and restaurants. This city is long on character as well as wealthy Croatians who flock here for retreats. Enjoy some free time soaking in the beautiful views and ever-present mansions before your return trip back to port.
This private, 7-hour tour of Dubrovnik, Konavle Valley and Cavtat will leave you with endearing memories of Croatia and its people.
