"Karmen was so accommodating with our large group with 3 energetic kids. We were only in Dubrovnik for 3 hours for a day trip and she fit in all the important information and a lovely lunch where we enjoyed as we continued to pepper her with questions! Wonderful tour!"
"My husband and I recently had a phenomenal tour with Barbara. She does a great job at giving you all the historic information while also giving you wonderful insights about current day to day life. To us, this is the best way to learn about a country, its people and its history. The pace of the tour was great, and she provided opportunities to ask questions and stay longer at different places that were interesting to us. Barbara, also gave us great tips about what other things we “must see”, what to avoid and how to make best of our time in Dubrovnik. Finally, if you’re a foodie her restaurant recommendations were spot on!"
"Mia was amazing! Our family of 4 hired Mia for a morning walking tour of Dubrovnik. She delivered the perfect blend of information, historical and fun. As a born and raised Dubrovnik local z she has the inside scoop on all the best spots and intel. She was personable and relatable, and her stories of living through the war were compelling and heartwarming. 5 stars across the board! "
"Our family of three enjoyed an informative tour of the history of Dubrovnik. We highly recommend Marko as a tour guide. He is friendly and responsive to his clients. Thank you, Marko!"
"This was a fantastic tour hosted by Karmen, such a good intro to Dubrovnik and the city.
Karmen was incredible with our kids 9 and 11, she included them and kept them engaged. Ice cream at the half way point was definitely a winner!
We got such a great understanding of the geography of the city and history in only 90mins.
Thankyou Karmen! "

Perfect for families!
"We had a wonderful time touring Dubrovnik with Karmen! She engaged our daughter, and presented information in a way that was easy for her to understand. She was very kind and knowledgeable - highly recommend a tour with Karmen. Thanks! 🤍"
"Our private tour with Barbara was one of the absolute highlights of our time in Dubrovnik. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in great hands — she’s warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and so passionate about her hometown.
Barbara brought the history of Dubrovnik to life with stories that were both fascinating and deeply personal. You could tell she truly loves this city and takes pride in sharing it with others. She took us to a delicious oyster tasting, introduced us to her favorite olive oil shop (which we never would have found on our own), and made sure we caught the Pigeon Parade at noon — something we didn’t even know we needed to see, but absolutely loved!
I’m a cat lover and had brought treats with me, and Barbara went out of her way to make sure we visited a few of Dubrovnik’s sun-loving feline residents. It was such a sweet, thoughtful touch that made the day feel even more personal.
Barbara didn’t just show us the city — she welcomed us into it. By the end of the tour, it felt like we were exploring with a lifelong friend. We can’t thank her enough for this special experience and would recommend her to absolutely anyone visiting Dubrovnik."
"Karmen was a wonderful guide for our first experience in Dubrovnik! We had our 9 & 12 year olds with us and she was thoughtful in explaining the history of various buildings, areas, etc. with enough detail for us but also engaging for the kids. She took us to a local gelato shop midway through the tour (her treat) and at the end provided wonderful suggestions for the best of restaurants and shops. "

Not to be missed.
"I am nearing 80 years old and my daughter, although in her early fifties has physical limitations. We had no issues with the energy needed to go on this tour with Vlaho. We had spent the previous day wandering the streets of Old Town Dubrovnik. I had visited Dubrovnik in 1987, before the breakup of Yugoslavia. Both of us enjoyed the Old Town, but it was our time with Vlaho that gave us an understanding of the circumstances of the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the enmity that resulted that shaped the Dubrovnik of today. Because my husband and I had visited Dubrovnik so recently we were shocked at the time that this World Heritage Site was subjected to bombings in 1991-1992. The tour with Vlaho gave the historical background as well as the details of the war that have shaped the Dubrovnik of today. Vlaho was an excellent history teacher in a short amount of time and having been a defender of Dubrovnik in the war, gave us a good understanding of what the people of Dubrovnik went through. When you wander the town you do not see much evidence of the war. The holes from the bombardments have been filled, but the town, still beautiful, is changed forever. The War Museum and the cable car ride up to it were an added element to the tour. We both valued our time with Vlaho who gave us an in depth view of Dubrovnik.
