Experience the best of
Dubrovnik with Withlocals

"Desa was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend. She points out areas worthwhile to go back and spend additional time! "

"Do not let Desa’s small number of reviews fool you because she recently started working with WithLocals. She is a hidden gem of a guide. Having grown up in the old town in Dubrovnik and having been a student of history, she has personal knowledge of the area. This intimate knowledge allowed her to share some of the social aspects of growing up in the old town. Because of questions we asked, she was able to show some sites that we might not otherwise have seen. We were a group of six and all appreciated her guidance. We would highly recommend her."

"Karmen was FANTASTIC. She is a tour guide with ten years of experience and it shows! There wasn’t a single question that she wasn’t able to answer, and she pointed out so many unique pieces of history that we never would have been able to find / read about on our own. She tailors the tour to the audience, so any age, interest, physical activity level will be covered! Karmen also left us with a long list of recommendations for activities and restaurants to do on our own. You won’t go wrong with Karmen as your tour guide!"

"Marko was an awesome tour guide, and I highly recommend him. We had been to Dubrovnik before, but he showed us this gem of town through the eyes of a local who clearly loves living there. Marko was funny, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. One of the best stops was to the home of a local in the Old Town to sample her home baked goods, spices, and candied nuts and orange peels. Marko also gave us an awesome suggestion to spend our afternoon after the tour taking the ferry out to Lokrum Island - true hidden gem!"

"Mia is the perfect guide to orient you on your visit to Dubrovnik, both the sites in the area and the social and historical perspective. She's an incredibly enthusiastic storyteller about virtually everything in the region. Her recommendations about what to do, where to go, where and what to eat were all spot on. Our visit here has been vastly improved by knowing where to focus our limited time here to do things that we enjoy. Hang on and let Mia take you through the years and culture of Croatia."

"Marko is a fantastic guide! My husband and I enjoyed our guided tour around parts of the old city. He also made some great recommendations."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Dubrovnik with Barbara. She have such a great glimpse into daily life of a local as well as educating us on all the history of this country and region. Highly recommend! We felt like we spent morning with a friend in Dubrovnik!"

"Danijeli was perfect- just the right amount of history, architectural facts, stories, etc. She speaks English perfectly so everyone could understand her and she was able to pick up on our interests and expand on those areas. We are well traveled and have seen a lot of guides and we would highly recommend her!"

"Vlaho was our knowledgeable and passionate guide who gave us a much deeper awareness about the travesty of what happened in Dubrovnik and the Balkans in the 1990’s. While visiting the massive Dubrovnik walls as a tourist is impressive, the activity is hollow without having an understanding of the many faces of Dubrovnik’s history, expertly woven together by Vlaho: from early times through to the Ottoman Empire’s threat, to the golden years of the Dubrovnik Republic, Napoleon’s rule, Austrian rule, Tito’s Yugoslavia, and finally the splintering of the region into individual states in the 1990’s. Vlaho himself fought to preserve Dubrovnik’s and Croatia’s independence, and his story is fresh like yesterday. We started at the top of Mount Srd, where we could see how this vantage point was critical to saving Dubrovnik from being overrun by the enemy. As we learned about the devastation of lives and the town, we felt a great measure of sadness for what people and this great city had to endure just 30 years ago at the hands of the aggressors. It is people like Vlaho that make sure these memories are never forgotten. Vlaho took us through the old town, pointing out historical highlights as well as sharing guidance for other suggested activities during our stay. Being guided by him on our very first day in Dubrovnik set the stage brilliantly for the rest of our trip!"

"After a morning of exploring old town and walking the wall, we had a 2 hour window to see the GOT sites. We quickly booked a tour with Romana. She was great! She knew more about GOT than we could ever know and took us to all the key places and scenes. Her picture book helped us reenact in our pitiful way. Her efficiency got us through all of it in exactly 2 hours. "
