Experience Off the Beaten Track in Dubrovnik with Withlocals

"We absolutely adored this tour and regret not having more cash on hand to tip Vesna. She is an extremely knowledgeable and passionate guide with local insights that you couldn’t find on any other tour. We loved learning about the dark history of Dubrovnik and recommend this tour for anyone interested in crime, punishment and morbid things!! "

"Great historical facts and stories about the crimes and punishments that took place in the walled city of Dubrovnik over the centuries. "

"Vesna is extremely friendly and had some fun facts about the city. Great knowledge of history. Would highly recommend "

"We had been to Dubrovnik before, but just walked around on our own. Vesna gave us a vivid picture of what life there had been like in medieval times. The streets and buildings meant so much more to us knowing what they have seen in the past. It was a quick and entertaining two-hour tour that I highlight recommend!"

"Vesna was a wonderful, well educated guide. We learned many interesting (and morbid!) things during our time with her that I’m not sure we would have learned about otherwise. Vesna answered all of our questions and was gracious enough to give us a few restaurant and activity recommendations at the end of our tour. Highly recommend for anyone interested in the darker side of history! "

"us 4 birds had a wonderful time with Vesna who is hugely knowledgeable while being entertaining and sensitive to what we were interested in. Thanks so much for the wonderful experience."

"We chose the "Dark Side of Dubrovnik" tour to learn about the city's history in a different way. I also expressed interest in experiencing some of the wine and food that the area had to offer. Vesna went above and beyond to customize the tour for our group. Our tour consisted of a mix of interesting facts about the town and its history along with stories that really brought it to life (or death). We are still talking about the "creativity" of the punishments handed out in this medieval gem. Vesna's personal history having been raised and still living in the old city was also fascinating to hear. The details she was able to point out and describe made this one of the most unique and entertaining experiences of our trip. After the tour, she escorted us to a restaurant where we were treated to an amazing wine and food pairing which completely exceeded our expectations. Vesna is also a wealth of knowledge about the local wine region and it was a pleasure to end our time with her discussing our favorite topic. I would highly recommend taking a tour with Vesna!"

"We had a wonderful and memorable experience with Vesna! Her knowledge, enthusiasm and inside knowledge of Dubrovnik was truly impressive and made the tour both fun and eye opening. We will return home with lots of stories to share - some a little more gruesome than others 😉 Thanks Vesna! "

"Had a great time with Vesna, we had already done another city tour so we knew the history of Dubrovnik so Vesna took us straight into the darker history of the city with great stories on punishments and scandal from the medieval times. She made it fun and I would highly recommend the tour to anyone who wants something a bit different ☺️"

"We had an amazing tour from Vesna. Great English, attention to detail and a lot of information including a lot of fun facts. We had a blast. "
