Dubrovnik Half-Day Tour – Cavtat & Srdj Hill

Walking Tour

4.5 hrs

Dubrovnik

Although we don't always recommend visiting Dubrovnik in a Day, sometimes time is not on our side. This tour is suitable for both visitors staying in Dubrovnik as well as those who are staying at the cruise port. Either way, we'll pick you up and drop you back off at your accommodation to allow for a full day to explore both Dubrovnik and Cavtat, in the company of a local expert. You'll also enjoy a panoramic sweep of this historic walled town from above Srdj Hill, which not all visitors to Dubrovnik manage to see during their stay.

Sites Visited

Dubrovnik’s Old Town
Cavtat
Srdj Hill

Included

4.5-hour tour led by a local expert
Pick-up and drop-off at accommodation (Dubrovnik or cruise port)
Optional: 1.5 hours of individual exploration for those coming by ship

Itinerary Detail

After being picked up by your expert and driver from your accommodation or Dubrovnik’s port, we’ll begin by driving south along the Adriatic through the Konavle Valley, ending up at the historic town of Cavtat. Dating back to the 4th century, Cavtat was originally a Greek settlement before Roman domination. Its significance as an important seaport for the Roman Empire will slowly unravel as we stroll through its charming squares and streets. In more recent times, Cavtat suffered during the breakup of Yugoslavia and the consequent war in Croatia.

Heading back to Dubrovnik, we make a brief stop above the town on Srdj Hill, allowing us to take in the sights of Dubrovnik, its coastline, and a scattering of colorful islands. We then head back into Dubrovnik and explore the Old Town, where your expert guide will highlight the former city's past glory as a powerful naval state in the Adriatic.

For those just visiting by ship, you will have some extra time (around 1.5 hours) to explore Dubrovnik before returning to the port with your driver. Please let us know when you book, if you are staying at the cruise port.

To continue your explorations of Croatia with Context, we recommend our Introduction to Split tour.

What a terrific day. Danijelia was phenomenal! First, because it was extremely hot but we decided to change our itinerary, and started later to reduce our time in the hot afternoon sun. Danijelia was perfectly flexible, and a great communicator, so it was no problem to make a change. During our tour, she was upbeat, engaging, humorous, and incredibly knowledgeable. She knows everything about everything, regarding Croatian culture and history, Who knew the word quarantine was derived from merchants having to isolate for 40 days in Dubrovnik before entering the city during the years after the Black plague? Just a tidbit of knowledge – but Danijelia was full of them. We finished our tour of Dubrovnik by walking on top of the city walls at sunset, and it was magical. Afterwards, while enjoying a beer in a street side cafe, we exchanged contact info, and will definitely stay in touch. If you are going to Dubrovnik, request Danijelia. You will not be disappointed.
