Dubrovnik Private Photoshoot Tour with Flying Dress & Guide

Summary

Old Town Dubrovnik photo tour with flying dress & local stories

You’ll slip into a handmade flying dress and wander Dubrovnik’s Old Town with a local guide, pausing for photos at famous spots and hidden corners alike. Expect laughter, real stories, and moments where you forget you’re being photographed — just soaking up the city’s energy in a way you’ll remember long after your trip.

What’s the experience like?

Li was already waiting at Pile Gate, holding this wild swirl of red fabric — the “flying dress” I’d seen all over Instagram but never thought I’d actually wear. She grinned and said, “Don’t worry, everyone feels awkward for the first five minutes.” I did. But then she helped me into the dress (it’s heavier than it looks), and suddenly I was gliding past stone walls older than most countries, feeling like some kind of time traveler who’d accidentally wandered into a fashion shoot.

We stopped near that old fountain where kids splash their hands in summer — you know the one — and Li started snapping photos while telling me how her grandmother used to sneak through these alleys after curfew. The wind picked up just enough to make the dress billow out behind me. Some tourists stared; one little girl waved and shouted something in Croatian that made Li laugh. I tried to repeat it back (badly), which only made her laugh harder. It felt less like posing and more like playing dress-up in someone else’s city.

I didn’t expect to learn so much about Dubrovnik’s history between shots — apparently half these corners were in Game of Thrones, but Li seemed more interested in sharing which bakery has the best morning bread. The light changed every few steps: golden on limestone, then cool blue in shadowed lanes. By the end, my feet hurt a bit and my hair was a mess from the breeze, but honestly? I still think about how free I felt twirling around those old stones. You get 15 edited photos (and videos if you want), but it’s that feeling that sticks.
