Veston Travel · Gat Krka, Šibenik waterfront
This 2-hour tour starts with a panoramic ride in a retro-style car, then walks the old town with a licensed guide to the spots where Šibenik played Braavos. Fans should pick it for the guide: guests say Ivan was an extra in season 5 and shares the stories from the set.
Šibenik's cathedral square stood in for Braavos in season 5 of Game of Thrones, filmed in September 2014. This tour, run by Veston Travel according to the listing, builds a full city tour around that story. It has three parts: a panoramic ride in a retro-style vehicle with viewpoints and photo stops, a guided walk through the old town with a licensed guide, and the filming locations with behind-the-scenes stories.
The car part takes you up to St John's Fortress and the viewpoints above the town; the tourist board also lists St John's among its Game of Thrones locations. Then you continue on foot, since guests note that cars cannot enter the old town, to the cathedral square and the lanes around it, where the guide shows what was filmed and how the town looked on screen. The Cathedral of St James was built between 1431 and 1536 and consecrated in 1555, entirely of stone, with a frieze of 71 carved heads around the apses. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000.
The listing has 5.0 stars from 14 reviews, and nearly every one names Ivan. Guests like the balance: real city history first, with the Thrones scenes as an extra layer, so it works for a mixed group of fans and non-fans. The tour meets at Gat Krka on the waterfront, takes up to 14 people and lasts 2 hours. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

★★★★★We really enjoyed the tour! A great mix of interesting facts about the city and the filming of Game of Thrones. The guide, Ivan, was very polite, empathetic, and kept us entertained. You can tell that he loves "his" city. In two hours, we discovered the whole city, saw the most beautiful spots, and heard some stories.
★★★★★The tour consisted of 2 parts, 1 part with the eco oldtimer and 1 part on foot through the old city because cars are not allowed there. [...] During the tour, we passed by various movie locations from "The Game of Thrones," and he showed us what had been filmed there, and you could really see parts of the city in it!
★★★★★If you're going on a guided city tour and have seen Game of Thrones, then you have to choose this one. It adds an extra dimension to the history of the city of Sibenik
★★★★★Great!! Ivan told the story; it wasn't boring, and we kept listening with interest. It was so nice to hear his experience with Game of Thrones.
