If you are visiting Split and planning to take a day trip to Dubrovnik, we recommend booking our private tour. This way, you can explore Dubrovnik at your own pace and enjoy a scenic drive along Croatia’s beautiful coast. During the trip, we’ll make several stops at various overlooks, where you can enjoy fantastic panoramic views of the Dalmatian islands. Once we reach Dubrovnik, you’ll meet your local guide, who will take you on a walking tour of the city’s medieval walls and lanes. You can also explore the city independently and discover its famous landmarks, restaurants, shops, and more. On the way back, we’ll take a brief detour to visit the town of Ston, another UNESCO heritage site.
Private Tour is an excellent choice for individuals, families, or groups of friends. The journey from Split to Dubrovnik takes approximately two and a half hours, but with our driver, it will feel like you left Split only a minute ago. Dubrovnik is currently the most popular tourist destination in Croatia, and has been listed on the UNESCO Heritage List since 1979. The town was founded 1,300 years ago by Greek refugees and was under the control of the Byzantine Empire and Venice until the 14th century. Dubrovnik, also known as “Ragusa”, became an independent republic in 1358 and grew to become Venice’s rival in the Mediterranean.
City is famous for its City Walls, which are considered to be the world’s most spectacular. These walls encircle the entire Old Town, and you can climb the stairs to the top for a breathtaking view of the old town and the Adriatic sea. It’s an absolute must-visit attraction when in Dubrovnik. You can enter the walls near the Pile Gate, the Ploče Gate, and the Maritime Museum. However, the Pile Gate entrance tends to be the busiest, so entering from the Ploče side has an added advantage.
After Dubrovnik town tour with the guide, we headed to our next destination, the magnificent Dubrovnik Cable Car. This speedy cable car departs from the north of the City Walls and takes you to the top of Mount Srđ in less than 15 minutes, where you can reach an altitude of 405 meters. The breathtaking view of the town and the sunset moments are nothing short of phenomenal. Additionally, you can grab a cup of coffee or have a meal at the restaurant Panorama while enjoying the view.
Following the tour in Dubrovnik, we continue toward the Pelješac Peninsula, also called the “Croatian Empire of Wine”. Relaxing ride with our driver in the lead to Ston. Famous for the longest stone wall in Europe (5.5 km), salt cultivation farming, and oyster growing farms since Roman times. Following extensive renovations, the walls were open to visitors. Moreover, interesting are the ancient salt pans that were in use during the Dubrovnik Republic more than 700 years ago. Salt is still produced here. Refreshed after lunch in a local restaurant, we are continuing the trip towards Split and expected to arrive at Split at 5.00 pm.
