In Dubrovnik, two walking tours listed online on WizardTrip explore the Old Town. One is the Game of Thrones tour, which follows the King’s Landing filming locations. The other is a 1.5-hour history tour. The first has 5,374 reviews, the second 5,167, with ratings of 4.9 out of 5 (as of 18 October 2026).
The Game of Thrones tour can optionally be extended to the island of Lokrum. Dubrovnik’s official Iron Throne is there, for a photo. The history tour tells 1,400 years of the city’s story without going inside any building. This article compares their durations, their admission surcharges and their accessibility, then says which one to choose.
Dubrovnik Game of Thrones tour: what you need to know
Both tours are on foot, in a group, with an English-speaking guide. The meeting points differ. The Game of Thrones tour meets at Big Onofrio’s Fountain, in the Old Town. The history tour starts at Brsalje 8, near the Pile bus stop, just before the entrance to the Old Town.
The Pile Gate, the western entrance to the Old Town, is part of both tours. Neither includes hotel pickup.
The Game of Thrones tour: King’s Landing, Lokrum and the Iron Throne
The tour lasts 2 hours, or 3 hours with the Lokrum option. The guide is a licensed professional; the listing specifies that they may be a former extra or stand-in from the series. The route follows the scenes filmed in Dubrovnik for King’s Landing:
- Pile Gate: seasons 2 and 3, with the jeering of King Joffrey and Jaime Lannister’s incognito return.
- King’s Landing docks: under the drawbridge, the beach where Princess Myrcella is bid farewell. Next come the ramparts of Fort Bokar, where Tyrion and Varys prepare for the Battle of the Blackwater.
- West Bay: on a pier, the Blackwater and wildfire scenes, and the conversations between Sansa and Shae.
- Fort Lovrijenac: the series’ Red Keep, setting of the Purple Wedding and of Joffrey’s name day tournament. The listing allows about 45 minutes for this stop.
- Old Town streets: the sites of the uprising against Joffrey and of Sansa’s escape.
- Jesuit Stairs: the place of Queen Cersei’s Walk of Shame, with a good photo spot.
The Lokrum option and the Iron Throne
With the option, a ferry leaves the Old Town for the island of Lokrum, the setting for Qarth in season 2. The tour ends at the Benedictine monastery, where Dubrovnik’s official Iron Throne stands, with time for a photo. The rest of the time is free for swimming, exploring the island or having dinner. Return ferries run roughly every 30 to 60 minutes, for a crossing of 10 to 15 minutes.
Without the option, the 2-hour tour ends on the Stradun, near Orlando’s Column. The listing mentions a Game of Thrones shop nearby and photos on the Iron Throne.
Macey (4 out of 5, September 2026) warns: “If you go to the island, bring a swimsuit.” The same review also finds the group large and the guide fast.
The Old Town walking tour: 1 hour 30 minutes of history
The tour lasts 1 hour 30 minutes. According to the listing, it goes through Brsalje and the Pile Gate. It then devotes about 1 hour to the Old Town and 10 minutes to Luža Square. The guide tells 1,400 years of history, from the days of a prosperous port to periods of conflict.
The route passes the Franciscan Monastery, Orlando’s Column on the Stradun and Onofrio’s Fountain. The latter was built in 1438 to supply the city with water through a 13 km aqueduct. The route also leads past the Rector’s Palace, the Sponza Palace and the Cathedral of the Assumption. This Baroque church was rebuilt after the 1667 earthquake. The group doesn’t go inside any building.
The price includes a local guide and audio guides for groups of 4 or more. Museum and monastery admissions, meals, drinks and tips are at your own expense. The listing names no filming location from the series. A 1-out-of-5 review from September 2026 even regrets that the guide didn’t mention it.
The tour requires at least 4 participants. Below that, the listing offers three solutions on the spot. You can pay for extra tickets to reach 4 people, which can result in a private tour at a reduced rate. You can also reschedule to another time, or be fully refunded.
The combined packages with the city walls
The listing offers two packages totaling 3 hours 30 minutes of touring, with a short break between the two parts. In the morning, the walls and war tour runs from 9 am to 11 am. The Old Town follows from 12 pm to 1:30 pm. In the afternoon, the Old Town comes first, from 4 pm to 5:30 pm, then the walls from 6 pm to 8 pm. The city walls ticket is not included.
Suzanne did both tours on the same day. In September 2026, her review calls it “a bit too much for me for one day.”

How much do Fort Lovrijenac, Lokrum and the city walls cost?
The base price covers none of these three sites. Admission to Fort Lovrijenac costs €15 per person, according to the Game of Thrones tour listing. It is free with the Dubrovnik Pass or the city walls ticket.
For Lokrum, the round-trip transportation and admission to the island are separate. They cost €30 per adult and €5 per child aged 5 to 17. This surcharge applies only with the option.
The Dubrovnik Pass comes up in a September 2026 review. Its author recommends it: it gives a discount on the ferry and covers the fort visit. The listings don’t give its price.
For the history tour, the group doesn’t go inside any building, so the listing plans no admission during the 1.5-hour tour. The city walls are to be bought separately in the combined packages.
Accessibility, children and bad weather
The Old Town tour is wheelchair accessible, according to the listing: all areas and surfaces on the route are. Infants and young children are welcome, in a stroller. Service animals are allowed. It suits all fitness levels.
The Game of Thrones tour also suits all fitness levels. The listing advises against it for pregnant women, travelers with spinal problems and those in poor cardiovascular health. It doesn’t specify wheelchair accessibility.
Both tours are canceled in bad weather. A full refund is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before departure. The Old Town listing adds a cancellation with fewer than 4 participants. The Game of Thrones tour listing specifies no minimum.
