Based on the previous agreement with the driver, you can stop to stretch your legs and take some fantastic photos. After arriving in Dubrovnik, one of the most outstanding tourist destinations in the Mediterranean, you will meet your local guide and start an hour-and-a-half-long walking tour through the narrow streets of the historic core of Dubrovnik.

Explore the Old Town's central street Stradun, the Franciscan Monastery, the renaissance Rector's Palace, the town walls, the Lovrjenac Fortress, and many picturesque squares and churches. After the walking tour with the local professional guide, you will have enough time to explore Dubrovnik independently.

You can also go to the local beach, take a quick swim, buy tickets for the Walls, and look at the city from a completely different angle. Since you have approximately four hours of free time, plan your activities before the trip since it is impossible to do all listed above. This perfectly well-spent day in Dubrovnik, you will get back on the bus and start your journey back to the northwest alongside the Adriatic coast. We’ll pass the villages of Orašac, Trsteno, Salona, and Elaphiti islands to our side to arrive in Ston where you will have the opportunity to taste our famous freshest oysters.

What people are saying about Franciscan Church and Monastery, Dubrovnik

If you're a fan of game of thrones, Dubrovnik is a must! And if you're not, Dubrovnik is still a must! The old town is just beautiful and walking around the walls, taking in the views is breathtaking. You get 4 hours free time on this trip, which is plenty but it does go by quickly! Petar, the guide, is on hand to answer any questions and is very helpful and passionate about his country and the history. It was a pleasure to have him as a guide for both this trip and the trip to Mostar (booked seperately). There is plenty to see and do in Dubrovik during your spare time, I only wish I had made it to Lokrum Island. Looks like I'll be returning so I can tick that off!

I thought that the full day excursion to Dubrovnik (from Split) was an incredible deal (price wise) and an amazing experience considering it was only 12 hours. The ride was long but comfortable and scenic - with explanations of the sites all along the way. Once in Dubrovnik we had an informative walking tour and received recommendations on what to do in our free time (4 hours - which is quite good). I took advantage of these suggestions and found my day and journey to be both enjoyable and memorable.

Great trip, would definitely recommend Smooth journey with lovely views Petra was a great guide, lots of information and tips. Got an hour long walking tour and then 4 hours of free time

Our tour guides were fantastic! So interesting and funny, but still let us enjoy the peace and beauty of Dubrovnik

Great tour. Our guide Branco was so knowledgeable and very thorough. Would definitely recommend this tour.
