Private Dubrovnik Day Trip from Split — Flexible, with Optional Ston Stop
About This Tour
Experience the "Pearl of the Adriatic" on your own terms with this private full-day tour from Split. Skip the rigid bus schedule and travel in a comfortable air-conditioned private vehicle along one of Europe's most beautiful coastal roads. Your personal guide/driver picks you up at your hotel and drives you to Dubrovnik — a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its fortified Old Town, Gothic and Renaissance palaces, marble streets, and red-tiled rooftops immortalized as King's Landing in Game of Thrones. On arrival, you choose how to spend your time: walk the legendary city walls, wander the Stradun, visit museums, stop for a seaside lunch, or take a dip in the Adriatic. An optional licensed local guide is available on request for an in-depth walking tour of the Old Town. On the way there or back, add a bonus stop at your choice — Ston (famous for oysters and the second-longest defensive wall in Europe), a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the Dalmatian coast, or a charming café along the route. The tour is fully customizable — tell your guide what you want, and they'll build your perfect Dubrovnik day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a private Dubrovnik tour over the group bus tour?
The private tour (€580/group) includes hotel pickup, a dedicated vehicle, fully flexible timing, the ability to add custom stops, and a shorter total duration (10h vs 12h on the group bus). For families of 4+ or groups of friends, the per-person cost is often better than the group tour — and the comfort and flexibility are in a different league.
Can you include a stop in Ston on the private Dubrovnik tour?
Yes — Ston is the most popular optional stop on this tour. Ston is famous for producing some of the best oysters in Europe from Mali Ston Bay, and for its ancient defensive walls (the second-longest in Europe after the Great Wall of China). Let your guide know at booking and they'll add it to the itinerary.
Do I need a local guide in Dubrovnik or can my driver show me around?
Your driver/guide from Split provides commentary and tips. However, only licensed Dubrovnik guides are legally allowed to lead walking tours inside the Old Town. If you want an in-depth guided walk with historical insights, we can arrange a licensed local Dubrovnik guide on request for an additional fee. Otherwise, you explore the Old Town independently.
Is the €580 price per person or per group?
The €580 is per group (up to 8 passengers), not per person. For a family of 4 that's €145 per person, and for a full group of 8 it's just €73 per person — similar to the group tour price but with all the benefits of a private tour (hotel pickup, flexibility, no fixed schedule).
How much time will I have in Dubrovnik on the private tour?
The total tour is about 10 hours with roughly 3.5–4 hours of driving each way. That leaves approximately 3–4 hours in Dubrovnik itself — enough to walk the city walls, see the main Old Town sights, and have lunch. If you want more time in the city, we can discuss extending the tour or starting earlier.
