Secrets of the Walls Express Tour

Explore the hidden parts of the city walls of Dubrovnik on this private tour of the western bulwark, the fort Minčeta, and the 16th-century gun foundry. I will tell you how the cannons were made, roam the underground tunnels, and admire the city walls of Dubrovnik from a totally different perspective. This tour is for the discerning traveler wishing to experience more than the usual touristy things. As experienced guide and journalist, I have what it takes to bring these alive before you. We'll talk about medieval warfare, attacks and sieges and how Dubrovnik managed to survive as a tiny city-state surrounded by powerful enemies. You'll walk along the newly opened western ramparts and hear stories about the golden age of Dubrovnik in the 16th century as well as the more recent history.
