Dubrovnik Game Of Thrones Tour + Iron Throne Photo (Small Group)

Rule King’s Landing before breakfast. This 1-hour-45-minute Dubrovnik Game of Thrones tour combines filming locations with local stories about life in the city during production. I especially like the small maximum of eight people and the chance to hear how Dubrovnik residents view the show, rather than simply ticking off famous backdrops.

I also like that the tour ends with a photo on a replica Iron Throne, plus a locations book for further exploring. The main consideration is price: at $78.10 per person, this is not a bargain walk. It makes the most sense if you want a personal guide, a very small group, and the throne photo as part of the package.

Key points to know before booking

• Small group of eight or fewer: The limited size should make it easier to ask questions and hear the guide clearly.
• Local perspective on filming: You hear about daily life in Dubrovnik during production, along with what locals make of the series.
• Three focused stops: The route includes Villa Ahava, Dubrovnik’s Old Town, and the Iron Throne photo location.
• Guide Ivona receives special praise: She is described as kind, punctual, helpful, and able to connect filming stories with city history.
• The throne photo is included: You do not just look at a prop from a distance. You get a chance to sit on it.
• A useful extra for fans: The included locations book lets you continue exploring after the tour ends.

Why this Dubrovnik Game of Thrones tour works

Dubrovnik is closely tied to King’s Landing, but a good filming tour needs more than a list of scenes. You want someone who can point out what changed for production, explain how the filming affected the city, and separate the television fantasy from real Dubrovnik.

That is the useful angle here. The tour promises a local view of the show and of the filming period. You can ask about what it was like for people living in the city while cameras were working, and what residents actually think of seeing Dubrovnik transformed into Westeros.

The group size matters. With no more than eight people, you should have a better chance to ask about a particular scene or character. A large crowd can turn a location tour into a marching exercise, especially in the Old Town. This format is better suited to conversation.

The guide also adds value beyond the television connection. Ivona is singled out for being punctual, kind, and helpful, while also explaining the city and answering questions. That balance is important. You are not only following fictional events. You are also getting a compact introduction to Dubrovnik from someone who knows the place.

The tour is offered in English and starts at 9:00 a.m. The early time is useful if you prefer to see the Old Town before giving the rest of your day to other plans. Since the experience depends on good weather, keep that in mind when arranging your schedule.

Starting at Amerling Fountain

The tour begins at the Amerling Fountain on Ul. Svetog Đurđa. This gives you a clear meeting point in Dubrovnik, and the activity is listed as being near public transportation.

From there, the tour moves through locations associated with King’s Landing, Blackwater Bay, and Qarth. The opening stop is Apartment Villa Ahava, where the focus is on popular scenes connected with those fictional places.

You will spend about 20 minutes there, with no separate admission ticket required. That is enough time for a guide to set the scene and explain how the location appears on screen without making the first portion feel drawn out.

This stop is likely to suit fans who enjoy matching real places to scenes. You may find that the actual setting looks less dramatic than it does after television production, camera angles, and digital work. That contrast is part of the fun. The tour can help you see how familiar Dubrovnik locations were adapted for the series.

The practical limit is that the supplied information does not identify individual episodes or scenes for each point. If you have a favorite moment from Blackwater Bay, Qarth, or King’s Landing, bring the question with you and ask the guide. The small group should make that kind of exchange easier.

One hour inside Dubrovnik’s Old Town

The Old Town is the main part of the experience, with about one hour devoted to popular King’s Landing scenes. This is where the tour has the most room for context, questions, and scene-by-scene discussion.

I like the amount of time given here. Twenty minutes can cover one compact location, but an hour allows the guide to connect several places and explain how Dubrovnik became part of the show’s visual identity. It also gives you time to focus on the real city, not only on the screen version.

This section should appeal most to fans who want more than a quick photograph. You can hear the back stories behind the filming locations and ask about the city itself. The guide’s local viewpoint is especially useful here, since the Old Town is not merely a set. It is part of everyday Dubrovnik life.

The tour does not charge a separate admission fee at this stop. That keeps the price straightforward, though $78.10 is still a substantial amount for a short experience. You are paying mainly for the guide’s time, the small group, the local context, the book, and the included throne photo rather than for entry to a major attraction.

Keep your expectations sensible. This is not a full-day Dubrovnik sightseeing tour, and it is not designed to cover every television location in the region. It focuses on selected sites within the city and gives you a guided introduction rather than an exhaustive catalogue.

Sitting on the Iron Throne at Boškovićeva 7

The final stop is at Apartments Boškovićeva, where you have a chance to take a picture on a replica of the Iron Throne. You spend about 10 minutes here, and the admission is included.

This is a smart way to end the tour. The Old Town portion provides the setting and stories, then the experience finishes with a personal souvenir. You are not simply photographing a doorway or standing where a scene was filmed. You get to sit on the throne and pose as King or Khaleesi of King’s Landing.

The location is listed as the Dubrovnik City shop, Iron Throne, at Boškovićeva 7, near the Buže entrance to the Old City. The tour ends here, so take note of the change between the starting point at Amerling Fountain and the finishing point.

The photo stop is brief, but that is probably enough for the main purpose. If you are traveling with family or friends, the included picture opportunity can be one of the most memorable parts of the outing. It also gives fans a clear reason to choose this tour instead of a standard city walk.

The replica is not the original television prop, of course, so collectors of behind-the-scenes production details may find the stop less important. For most fans, the value is in the playful moment and the photograph.

What the local angle adds

Many screen-location tours can feel like a string of recognitions: here is a gate, there is a staircase, and that corner appeared in an episode. This one tries to add the human side of filming in Dubrovnik.

You hear about what life was like in the city while the show was being made and what locals think of the series. That matters because Dubrovnik is more than a backdrop. Its residents experienced the production directly, and their view can be quite different from the excitement felt by a visiting fan.

I would choose this tour if you want to understand how the show fits into the city, not just where scenes were shot. The local perspective may also help you look at the Old Town with greater attention after the tour, especially when you revisit a location on your own.

The included Game of Thrones locations book supports that idea. You can use it to continue finding filming places after the guided visit. The book is a modest extra, but it gives the experience some value beyond its short duration.

The guide’s role is central. Ivona is praised for handling both the show’s back stories and general information about Dubrovnik. She is also described as punctual and kind. Those details may sound basic, but they matter when you have a fixed start time and less than two hours to see several points.

Is $78.10 a fair price?

At $78.10 per person, the tour sits firmly in the paid-specialty experience category. I would not book it simply because you want a cheap way to see the Old Town. You can visit much of Dubrovnik without joining a Game of Thrones tour.

The price becomes easier to justify if you value four things:

• A group capped at eight people
• An English-speaking local guide
• The included Iron Throne photograph
• The locations book for additional exploring

You are also paying for a guided interpretation of the filming sites and for the chance to ask questions. A larger group might offer a lower price, but it could be less personal. Here, the small format is one of the clearest reasons to consider the cost.

The duration also helps set expectations. One hour and 45 minutes is long enough for a focused theme tour, but not long enough to become a full city orientation. If you want general Dubrovnik sightseeing, you may need another activity. If you mainly want King’s Landing locations and a throne photo, the length is efficient.

The strong rating of 4.9 from 15 ratings and the 100 percent recommendation figure suggest very high satisfaction, but the sample is small. I would treat those numbers as encouraging rather than as a guarantee. The specific praise for the guide, the small group, the city information, and the photos gives you more useful clues than the score alone.

Who should book this experience?

I would recommend it to a Game of Thrones fan who wants a focused introduction to Dubrovnik’s filming sites without joining a large crowd. It should also suit a first-time visitor who wants the show connected to real city information.

Families and friends may enjoy the throne photo, especially if everyone wants a playful souvenir. The format can work well for people who prefer to ask questions rather than listen to a long speech from the back of a group.

You may also like it if you have already seen general Dubrovnik sights and want a theme-based way to look at the Old Town. The local stories about filming give the tour a purpose beyond taking the same photographs you could find online.

I would hesitate if you are not interested in the series. The Old Town information may still be useful, but the experience is built around Game of Thrones locations and characters. I would also think twice if $78.10 feels high for a short tour, since there is no major admission attraction included apart from the Iron Throne photo stop.

The weather requirement is another practical point. The experience can be canceled in poor weather, with a different date or a full refund offered. If your Dubrovnik stay is short, avoid placing this tour on the last possible morning.

Booking, timing, and group size

The advertised start time is 9:00 a.m., and confirmation is sent when you book. A mobile ticket is provided, so you should have the booking details available on your phone.

The tour is offered in English. Most people can participate, and the group maximum is eight. Those details make it a relatively simple option for visitors who want a small, guided activity rather than an independent location hunt.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the experience are not refunded, and late changes are not accepted. The cut-off uses Dubrovnik local time.

Because the tour requires good weather, a poor-weather cancellation results in either another date or a full refund. I would check the forecast before setting the rest of your day around the activity.

Should you book the Dubrovnik Game of Thrones tour?

Book it if you want a small, personal Game of Thrones walk with local stories, selected Dubrovnik locations, and an included Iron Throne photo. The strongest reasons are the group limit of eight, the local approach, and the guide’s praised ability to cover both filming details and wider city questions.

Skip it if you are looking for a low-cost general tour of Dubrovnik or if the television connection does not interest you. At $78.10, the price requires real enthusiasm for the theme.

For the right fan, this is a tidy, well-focused way to connect King’s Landing with the real city. Bring a favorite scene to ask about, allow for the weather policy, and make use of the locations book after the guide has shown you where to look.
