Dubrovnik: Epic Game of Thrones Tour & Lokrum Island Option

Visit iconic Game of Thrones locations in Dubrovnik, such as King's Landing, Blackwater Bay, and the Red Keep, and even get a photo on the Iron throne. The tour starts with a short walk to the first filming location, which is known in "King's Landing" as Blackwater Bay. It's one of the major settings where several scenes were shot. Your tour guide will show you screencaps and teach you about the filmmaking process of GoT. Next, climb up the staircase to the "Red Keep“ to enjoy a beautiful view over the Adriatic Sea and Old Town Dubrovnik. Afterward, it's time to enter the gates and stroll the streets of the King’s Landing. Out of many locations, the staircase of the Great Sept of Bailor is a particular highlight. Fans will recall that Cersei’s walk of shame was filmed here, one of the most pivotal moments in the show. The 2 hour tour ends in the old town. If you booked the 3 hour tour, we continue and take the ferry to Lokrum island. This beautiful oasis just outside of Old Town was the setting for the city "Qarth". In season two, it was the city Daenerys found shelter in after the death of Khal Drogo and after getting lost in the desert. The big finale and highlight of the tour is a visit to the throne room in the Benedictine monastery for a picture on the Iron Throne. Afterwards you can stay on the island enjoy some nature. It offers opportunities for swimming, hiking, cliff diving as well as restaurants and bars. Ferry is leaving every half hour/hour (depending on the time of the season) and the crossing takes only 15 minutes.

Dubrovnik: Full-Day Total Game of Thrones Experience

Dubrovnik: Full-Day Total Game of Thrones Experience

Witness firsthand why Dubrovnik was chosen to take a major role in 'Game of Thrones' and which locations were used for the unforgettable part which you will visit on this tour. Year 2011 was important in Dubrovnik because that was when HBO decided Dubrovnik will get another alter ego – King’s Landing, the capital city of the Seven Kingdoms. Just before the filming started in Dubrovnik, 'Game of Thrones' was already well-known and popular and the entire show definitely contributed to the overall destination reputation. It was only a matter of time when other big filming companies were to film in Dubrovnik – Star Wars came along, Robin Hood, Knightfall, Bollywood, and probably many more in the future. The tour will start with a visit to one of the oldest arboretums in this part of Europe, located just 15 kilometers from Dubrovnik which was used as one of the filming locations. Afterwards, you will cover the sites at Mount Srdj, where you will have the best view of King’s Landing, the highest point above Dubrovnik. Then, head to Dubrovnik Old Town, St. Lawrence Fort and finally, to Lokrum Island by boat. Lokrum is where you will finish the tour. It also has the Iron Throne. Take your photo on the Iron Throne and show to the world who the true ruler of King’s Landing is.

Peacocks and bunnies are the island's only residents and they are very friendly. The tour finishes on the island and you can decide whether you'd like to return to Old Town or spend the rest of the day on the island.

Our tour guide really made the tour an unforgettable experience. He was funny and charismatic and so enthusiastic. This was such a fantastic way to get our GOT fix and see the city with an experienced local tour guide. I absolutely loved the tour and we had such an enjoyable day. I also really appreciated that the tour still ran for us in the off season, at the super affordable price of a group booking, even though we were the only ones who booked. Thank you so much!!

Ivo was fantastic! Since we visited in off-season it was just me and my wife on the tour, but he was super enthusiastic and took us through all the filming location and gave us insights from being an extra on the show. If you book with Ivo you are going to love this tour!😃

Awesome experience. You will be pulled into the GoT world and you are fully able to experience things in real. Great guide. He was very patient and had good narrative qualities. He was also funny and sarcastic.
