"Mia was amazing, very welcoming and made our experience in Dubrovnik so much better. She told us about the history of Dubrovnik, showed us some hidden jams in the old town, took us for a treat at a local ice cream shop and oyster tasting afterwards. She gave us great recommendations for places to eat, shop and party at night and even played the role of our personal photographer during the tour. We highly recommend booking a tour with Mia and let her show you the best of Dubrovnik! "
"I had booked a walking tour with Karmen many months ago. and then had to change the dates based on our final travel plans. Karmen was fantastic all along and flexible to suit our needs. She was super knowledgeable about the city and kept our walking tour very real and fun with engaging stories about the local history,the ways of croatian life and of course several games of thrones snippets that kept our whole family and friends super engaged. She helped us end the tour in an excellent local craft beer place for a drink upon our request and then even walked us to our dinner place which she only had recommended earlier and helped us book. That bosnian dinner was one of our best dinners we had in Croatia. We left feeling that Karmen was more a friend than just a tour guide. highly highly recommend her!"
"100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting old town Dubrovnik with kids. Marko has a passion for his homeland and a vast array of knowledge about it. While also keeping your children fully entertained, Marko will share details with you about the city and guide you to some of its most well known areas. Thank you, Marko!"
"My family of five thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Romana. We scheduled it for our first full day in town, and she did a great job of highlighting the history, culture and food of this beautiful city. My son is the only won who saw Game of Thrones, so she included a few highlights from that as well, which was perfect. We've done With Locals tours several times now in different cities, and we are never disappointed."

Phenomenal and personable Dubrovnik tour.
"My wife and I had a great 3 hour guided walking tour of Dubrovnik with Romana.
This was our very first time using WithLocals and we are extremely pleased.
We learned about the city’s history and architecture and were able to get a personalized experience.
We give Romana a 10/10+ rating.
She’s very knowledgeable and rightfully passionate about her town. We even got to meet part of her family!
She was also kind enough to mention other options for visiting more places around town.
We highly recommend Romana as a tour guide.
Loved Dubrovnik! "
"We had a wonderful adventure in the old city of Dubrovnik with Marko. He was very knowledgable about the city history and passionate about showing off his home. He made the history interesting and engaging for our eight year old daughter via the treasure hunt. We had a terrific lunch at a local restaurant that Marko recommended at the conclusion of our adventure. Highly recommend this tour for children. "
"Mia was extremely thoughtful and communicative both before, during and even after our event.
She thought of our trip holistically, asking questions and paying attention to our answers both to tailor our tour with her and to offer additional advice and tips on the rest of our trip.
She was very genuine and nice, in addition to being a true "local" with a heart for entertaining tourists and connecting with new people. She was extremely knowledgable about Old Town and Split and was very nice and friendly.
She did bring up U.S. politics, which I think was a mistake considering roughly 50% of the country sits on each side of the aisle. She referenced Donald Trump as "the orange man" and criticized ICE as well. I'm not hugely political, but I don't go on vacation to get lectured on American politics or to hear of someone's disdain for America's federal government.
I'm all for the right of each person to have an opinion, but I didn't think it was the most appropriate venue in which to volunteer those types of opinions -- to a captive tour audience.
But it was a small blip in an otherwise-sterling experience with Mia.
We went to a gelato shop and the worker did not understand my English, so I got a different flavor than what I ordered. That was OK with me, and I ate it anyway (it was delicious). But Mia ended up going back inside the shop and ordering the flavor for us that I'd intended. Considering that the guides are paying for the snacks out of the total revenue they're getting from us/from the app for the tour, that was an extremely nice gesture.
She also invited us to a semi-private saxophone concert on the walls. We weren't able to make it because we had dinner up on Mt. Srd for several hours and were a bit cold by the time the concert was starting. But it was a nice gesture.
It was also fascinating hearing Mia's experiences during the unfortunate war in Croatia in the early '90s as well as her experiences working in the hotel industry.
Overall, Mia was a consumate professional that felt like something close to a friend. And was a great representation of Dubrovnik and Croatia at large. We hired three different tour guides from With Locals on this vacation, among other interactions and experiences on other platforms. And Mia was either the best or co-best of all of them.
I'd absolutely recommend hiring Mia for a tour of Dubrovnik."
"Marko was an outstanding guide to Dubrovnik- punctual, personable, knowledgeable. He maximized our brief visit with tons of information presented in a clear and understandable manner. Highly recommended! "
"We can clearly express we had a marvellous enjoyable time with Marko
From start to end his energy was infectious
We hire many many guides every year on our holiday and Marko gets our gold medal
Thank you Marko for a wonderful day
Finally his recommendation for lunch was unbelievable, just delicious. It just added another nice touch to end the day."
