Dubrovnik: Epic Game of Thrones Tour with Super Saver Option

Dubrovnik’s Old Town is already special, but this tour adds a very specific kind of fun: you walk the same streets and viewpoints that were used for Game of Thrones scenes. I like that the tour is built around clear filming-location stops, from Blackwater Bay vibes to Lovrjenac Fortress as the Red Keep. I also like the ending, where you can sit on a real-feeling Iron Throne replica and get a free photo voucher through the tour.

Quick heads-up though. This is not a flat stroll, you’ll climb roughly 10 flights of stairs, and it is not recommended for mobility issues. Also, the Iron Throne replica photo voucher is not available in the winter season, so plan your expectations in colder months.

Key things that make this Dubrovnik Game of Thrones tour work

• Filming locations with scene-by-scene context, so the streets make sense even if you only remember certain episodes
• Lovrjenac Fortress as the Red Keep, with big views that explain why this spot fit the show
• Cersei’s walk of shame stop in Old Town, paired with practical direction on where the camera angles would land
• Iron Throne photo voucher at the end, often the most memorable “I can’t believe this is real” moment
• Small pacing built for photos, you stop, you look, then you move instead of rushing the whole time
• Guides who mix show stories with local Dubrovnik detail, with names like Alex, Nera, Ivo, Darko, and Michela frequently praised

Game of Thrones in Dubrovnik: how this 2-hour walk actually feels

This tour is short enough to fit into a packed Dubrovnik day, but it still hits the key places that fans connect with right away. Expect about 2 hours, and a group size capped at 100. You’ll keep moving, but you are not sprinting through photo-op chaos.

What makes it feel different from a generic walking tour is the focus. Each stop is tied to a show moment, and the guide explains how the production used the setting. That turns Old Town from scenery into a map of scenes. You get to connect what you see on the street to what you saw on-screen, and you learn why certain angles worked.

You’ll also notice the tour has a light, entertaining tone. Multiple guides were praised for humor and show energy, and some even referenced being involved in the show side of things, which helps the behind-the-scenes stories land. If you care about the TV magic and the human side of production, you’re in the right place.

The one tradeoff is the climb. Reviews and tour details both point out the stair workload. If you show up with sore knees, do not “hope for the best.” Pick this only if you feel comfortable with repeated stairs.

Where to meet and where you end: Brsalje 5 to the Iron Throne shop

You meet at the City of Dubrovnik Tourist Board, Brsalje ul. 5, 20000 Dubrovnik. The practical part: it is right in front of the Tourist Board, near the Pile bus stop. That makes it easier to line up with your hotel, cruise port plans, or the rest of your day.

The tour ends at a Dubrovnik City shop called IRON THRONE, Boškovićeva 7 (od Buže), Grad, Dubrovnik. It is described as the third entrance to the old city, so you will want to follow the guide to the exact spot rather than trying to guess based on a landmark.

This end point matters because it is part of the “wrap-up moment” of the tour. The photo voucher and the throne replica stop can feel like the payoff, especially if you have been picturing scenes all day.

Bring a charged phone. You’ll use a mobile ticket, and having your screen brightness up helps when you are checking in quickly. The tour is offered in English, so you should be able to follow the show references without strain.

Stop 1: Brsalje Street, getting your bearings before the filming spots

The tour starts on Brsalje Street, right by the Tourist Board. This first moment is not just a meet-and-greet, it is where you get context. You’re in the right neighborhood, and the guide can set the story for the day so the filming locations feel connected rather than random.

A big plus here is pacing. Starting close to public transit means you are less likely to waste time hunting for the group. It also helps if you arrive early and need a quick coffee or water before the stairs begin.

What I’d do if you’re doing more than one Old Town activity that day: arrive with a simple plan. You are about to do a walking circuit, so decide what you want to see next before you start. Old Town is easy to get “swallowed” by all the streets, and this tour is a good way to get structure.

Stop 2: Blackwater Bay at Dubrovnik West Harbour

After the start, the group takes a short walk to a first major filming location area described as Blackwater Bay. The West Harbour direction is useful, because it gives you a feel for the waterfront side of Dubrovnik before you climb deeper into the Old Town core.

This stop works best if you’re willing to look around like a director would. When the guide points out where the scene was framed from, the whole bay and surrounding angles start to feel purposeful. That is also where behind-the-scenes stories tend to hook you, since the production logic becomes easier to understand once you are standing in the right place.

If you are not a die-hard fan of every season, this is still a good stage of the tour. Even partial fans can recognize the locations once the guide anchors them with specific context. The vibe here is, this is why Dubrovnik looked like it belonged in that world.

Practical tip: water helps here. Even though the tour is “only” about 2 hours, Dubrovnik can hit warm weather quickly, and you have to be ready before the stairs.

Stop 3: Lovrjenac Fortress, the Red Keep climb and possible entry cost

Lovrjenac Fortress is where you feel the “this is the Red Keep” idea most strongly. In the show context, the fortress is presented as the Red Keep, and on-site it’s easy to see why the production would choose it for dramatic framing.

This is also the stop where your physical readiness matters most. The tour information points to a total of roughly 10 flights of stairs along the way. You will likely climb more here than at a flat city stroll. In reviews, people flagged the stairs as a make-or-break detail, especially for families with babies and strollers.

Now, about entry cost: the additional ticket note is tied to Fort Lovrjenac for the Signature Tour version, listed at €15 per person. Free entry can apply if you hold a Dubrovnik Pass or a valid city wall ticket within the stated window. Because this is the super saver option, your exact inclusions can vary, so check what your voucher says before you go. I’m saying it plainly: don’t assume the fortress entry is included unless it is written on your ticket.

Even if you only view from the accessible portions, you still get that strong “high ground” feel, which is what makes the Red Keep comparison click. Just be realistic about the climb.

Old Town finale: Cersei’s walk of shame and the Iron Throne photo moment

The last part of the tour stays in Old Town and targets one of the most memorable scene references: Cersei’s walk of shame. This stop is valuable because it helps you read Old Town streets like a filming set. The guide’s job here is to help you see what the camera likely emphasized, where the action would have moved, and why this specific route worked.

This is also where some of the best group energy shows up. People start taking more photos, recreating poses, and calling out scenes they remember. The guide’s humor and storytelling style matters here, and many names like Alex, Davor, Darko, and Michela came up as favorites because they kept the mood fun while still explaining the why behind the TV moments.

After the Old Town segment, you get the chance to take a picture with the Iron Throne replica at the end shop location. The tour includes a voucher for a free photo with the Iron Throne replica, but it is not available in winter season. If your trip is in cooler months, you should plan around that and not build your day around the photo.

One more practical detail: public holidays can affect shop access. There’s at least one account where the Iron Throne shop was closed due to a public holiday, which removed the chance to see the replica in that moment. Your best defense is timing and flexibility, and showing up with a backup plan for photos on another day.

The guides: what to look for, and why some names keep coming up

Guides are a huge part of the value here. Multiple guides were praised for blending GoT knowledge with real Dubrovnik context and for being funny in a way that keeps the group engaged rather than lectured.

Names that were repeatedly called out include Drako (spelling may vary), Alex, Nera, Ivo, Darko, Davor, and Michela. People also mentioned guides who handled questions well and included everyone in the group, which is a big deal when you’re stopping in crowded streets and stair corners.

If you care about behind-the-scenes details, you want a guide who can connect three things at once:

1) where you are standing,

2) what the scene required,

3) what it looked like on set and why it mattered.

That combination is exactly what this tour aims to deliver, and it’s also why the guides get so many high marks. You’re not only looking at buildings, you’re getting the production story tied to the street you’re standing on.

Price and value: is $26.60 a fair deal for Dubrovnik Game of Thrones filming spots?

At $26.60 per person for an English-language, official licensed guide tour running about 2 hours, this is strong value if you want show-specific sightseeing. A lot of what you pay for in Dubrovnik is time and interpretation, not just location. Here, you get a structured circuit that includes multiple named filming-location reference points and a payoff photo stop.

The main “value check” is the possible extra entrance fee tied to Fort Lovrjenac for certain versions. The extra cost is clearly stated as €15 per person for the Signature Tour. Your super saver version may not include it, but you should verify your exact inclusions. If you do end up adding the fortress entry, the total still may be reasonable, because the climb is the major standout of the tour and the views are part of the Red Keep effect.

Also, the Iron Throne photo voucher is included, but only when it is available. In winter season, that specific perk can be missing, which can make the tour feel less “complete.” In warm months, the photo voucher often becomes the highlight because it turns a fan moment into a real, shared memory.

Bottom line: if you want a show-focused walk that is priced for a normal budget, this fits. If you’re expecting a no-walking, no-extra-fees experience every time of year, you’ll want to double-check the season note.

Weather, footwear, and stair strategy, the practical stuff you should not ignore

The tour requires good weather. If it is canceled due to poor weather, you get either a different date or a full refund. That matters because the walk is outdoors through the Old Town streets, and the stair sections are harder when surfaces are slick or busy.

For footwear, think “sturdy walking shoes,” not sandals. Stairs plus stone surfaces plus crowds is a combination that punishes slip-ups. If you are carrying a bag, keep it light. Your hands will come in handy for steadying yourself on stairs and for quick phone photos.

Hydration is smart too. Reviews reference filling up at natural spring fountains during hot weather. Even if you do not plan to refill at fountains, carry a small bottle so you can focus on the tour instead of hunting.

Finally, judge your energy honestly. The tour is described as needing moderate physical fitness and it includes roughly 10 flights of stairs. That does not mean you need to be an athlete, it means you should be comfortable with repeated uphill steps.

Should you book this Dubrovnik Epic Game of Thrones tour?

Book it if:

• you want a structured Game of Thrones filming-location walk that actually connects scenes to places,
• you value a lively guide, with humor and lots of story detail, and you like being shown where to look,
• you can handle stairs, and you want an Old Town route that feels efficient.

Skip or reconsider if:

• you have mobility limitations or you know stairs will be a serious problem,
• you’re traveling in winter and you care mainly about the Iron Throne photo voucher, since it is not available in winter season,
• you want a completely flat, casual walk.

If you land in the sweet spot, this is one of the easiest “fan payoff” tours in Dubrovnik. The guide-driven storytelling and the filming-location stops give you something more than pretty streets. You leave with a mental map of scenes, plus that Iron Throne photo at the end, when it is available.
