This tour is a walking tour of the Old town of Dubrovnik, including my personal favourite museum: the one in the Franciscan Monastery. You will quickly realize why when you see it, but for now I can tell you it holds one of the oldest pharmacies in Europe. My top tip is to also buy their own homemade facial cream made of roses - it's the perfect souvenir or gift for someone back at home!

Important Information

Please check my availability!



Best in the morning due to the working hours of the Monastery museum

The entrance fee for the Franciscan monastery is included in this tour - however this is charged per person therefore this tour is also charged per person. But this also means that if you have a big group, we can discuss a discount, as it makes sense to do so.

The starting time is 8 AM as it's perfect with the opening hours of the museum and less crowded/hot - but this is flexible and can be adjusted to your personal needs.

Cancellation Policy

  • Free cancellation - 8 days prior to meeting time
  • 50% Refund - 3 to 7 days prior to meeting time

What a great experience!

It was an absolutely great and lovely tour. Tea was very professional and told us everything we wanted to know about the old town of Dubrovnik and the cats and mentioned a few spots and shops we should visit. Although it is never guaranteed to see the cats she knew exactly where to find them, their story and made the most out of it. She even had some treats for them with her, but we recommend to bring some on your own to spoil the city cats a bit more.

Dear Jasmin, thank you so much for joining the tour and for your kind words. I think the cats very much appreciated being spoiled :)
