Dubrovnik Game of Thrones Tour

07/03/23 | Croatia, Dubrovnik, Europe, television, Travel

The City Walls. - fire season 6

It is hard to believe that our trip to Croatia was already two Summers ago but time flies.  I had to actually look up the date but remembering it was our last holiday before our October 2021 wedding, that makes sense. We love an Airbnb experience and during lockdown watched the entire game of thrones series.  It was “good” in my book but mark throughly enjoyed it to the point where he’s re-watching it.  Thus, when we (and by that I mean me) were planning our Croatia trip I put the Game of Thrones & the Old City Grand Tour as a must.  With an average rating of 4.97 out of 5 the thousands of guests have said this three hour tour is an excellent value and that the host Jelena excels in storytelling both of which I strongly agree with.

Part of the reason this post is delayed is there were 217 photos which I cut down to 58 and now posted 19 with captions for those true fans.  The main reason is two pregnancies but the photos just sounds better; no?  Here are my favorite shots from our day exploring Dubrovnik (ahem, King’s Landing)

    I never knew where they filmed it. Super that you could match the photo with where you were.

    Looks like it was a fantastic trip.
