She was a truly wonderful guide — full of passion and deep love for her hometown. Thanks to her local knowledge, we enjoyed excellent restaurant recommendations and smooth navigation, which made our first visit to Croatia truly memorable. She also shared many fascinating, behind-the-scenes stories about the filming of Game of Thrones, adding a special touch to our experience. Highly recommended! Amazing Guide with Heart & Knowledge !

We did the Treasures of Dubrovnik: Game of Thrones tour with Karmen and she was fantastic! I highly recommend you book a tour with her. She was so knowledgeable and professional! She was not only available for the tour but also beforehand with restaurant recommendations, coffee recommendations, and even days after the tour for suggestions. Whether you are a Game of Thrones fan or just want to learn and the history of the Old City, you should book with Karmen!! 10/10 recommend!!Karmen was AMAZING!!

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. Efficient GOT tour

Karmen led our family on a 1.5 hour walking tour through the Old Town Dubrovnik. We have 3 young kids (10 year old twins and a 6 year old very energetic kiddo!) and she kept them engaged and happily answered their MANY questions!!! She was full of fun details about the city’s history and gave the adults fun facts about where Game of Thrones was filmed. She paid special attention to the hot weather, finding shade everywhere we stopped. Her recommendations for ice cream and pizza were on point!! I would highly recommend her tour for groups of all ages!! Thanks Karmen!!! Our tour with Karmen was fantastic!!

This was my family's first time visiting Croatia and first time using WithLocals. We had a wonderful experience with Karmen who provided great insights of Old Town, living in Dubrovnik, and interesting stories of the history of the city. It was quite warm outside, but Karmen sought out shade whenever she had a story to share. When scheduling the tour, Karmen was quick in her responses and even provided us some wonderful recommendations. We booked a 90 minute session, which was the perfect time to cover the history of the city, but also provide us with her own insights. The time with Karmen felt like a friend was guiding you around their city. I would recommend booking this tour on one of your first days, as Karmen provides many good recommendations. Also, don't eat gelato or drink coffee beforehand, Karmen will make a stop during the tour :) My family, 4 english-speaking adults, would highly recommend this tour experience. Many thanks Karmen! 90 Minutes of Hidden Gems

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. Fun way to learn about the city’s history

Excellent introductory tour to the beautiful Old City of Dubrovnik. Interesting references to the War of the 1990’s from someone who remembers it well and can explain his own feelings and experiences. The Old City is very busy, even in early June, so I would recommend an early morning visit if possible, definitely if you’re doing the City Wall walk. Fascinating, enjoyable tour.

(About local Jelena)

Jelena might be the best person to give a tour of Dubrovnik and an additional background of the Game of Thrones filming in the city. She brings her personal knowledge and experience as a journalist, as a native to the area, and as someone who lived through the homeland war to talk in depth about the history of the city. She was also present in the city when Game of Thrones was being filmed and has fun, personal anecdotes and pictures from that time. Overall, this was an extremely worthwhile introduction to the city. I would highly recommend this to anyone coming to visit, particularly if you plan to be here for a few days and want someone to show you around.History of Dubrovnik and GoT tour

Karmen was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond to help us have the best experiences. We booked a private tour with her, especially because my partner has walking difficulties. Karmen was very flexible and adjusted the tour according to our needs. She's very knowledgeable and passionate about her job. She left us wanting to know more about Dubrovnik. In particular, she researched accessible areas for us, supported us with mobility, gave us good advice on where to eat and drink, shared the bus schedule with us from where we were staying to get into the Old Town, and shared details for a paint and wine experience. Karmen was inclusive and spoke directly to my partner, who was in a wheelchair (unfortunately, this doesn't always happen). She also has a great sense of humour. Overall, she exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend her!Fun, approachable and knowledgeable!

My son and I booked Karmen on a last minute tour in Dubrovnik’s old town. It was much more than I hade hoped. Karmen was energetic and engaging and show us her city with passion. She outlined the high points and gave context and nuance that brought the city and its fascinating history to life. She shared her tips for top choices to eat and things to do. The two hours spent with Karmen on our first day in Croatia set the tone for an amazing adventure. Thank you Karmen!!Amazing tour guide!

We chose this as one of our first activities during our stay in Dubrovnik - it was perfect for getting acclimated to the Old Town before we explored on our own. Jelena is very knowledgeable on both GOT + Dubrovnik as a whole and was an amazing guide, had great tips / recommendations on other things to do in Dubrovnik. Wish she could have led tours for us at the rest of our stops in Croatia throughout our trip!!History of Dubrovnik and GoT tour

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!Fantastic tour! Highly recommend

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!Personal and Fun Tour of Dubrovnik

Look. No. Further. We had an AMAZING afternoon in Dubrovnik with Marko -- seeing the city's architectural treasures, learning about its glories and tragedies, and deciphering its statues and ornaments. Marko is smart, personable, and filled with a love for his city and heritage. We couldn't have landed better -- such a great guide to orient us for a longer stay in a city of enchantment!

We had a wonderful experience to the Game of Thrones tour. clearly passionate about our guide, Jelena, was incredibly knowledgeable and extremely passionate about the Dubrovnik and Croatian history, which brought the location to life just beyond the location spots. She shared her life experience as a Croatian through the war and post-war times. She kept an easy comfortable pace throughout the tour and was always considerate of the group, often stopping at shaded areas for breaks as it was during the summer when we visited. She provided great visual aids which helped us connect scenes from Game of Thrones to our actual location. We highly recommend this tour and Jelena!!GoT tour

Marko made the whole experience worthwhile. His suggestions and local knowledge ensured we got to see the best of Dubrovnik. It was a pleasure to have seen it through his eyes. He communicated prior to us meeting through WhatsApp and ensured he covered all of the things we wanted to do and see. He even used his own car to transport us around, which was spotlessly clean. An added touch was the thoughtful bottle of water he provided for us and he also treated us to refreshments halfway through the tour. I would definitely book Marko again if I went back to Dubrovnik.Dubrovnik with Marko

“Romana was a great hostess for our first night in Dubrovnik! She took us to a few incredible spots and introduced us to some tasty + unique beverages. We loved the local feel of the tour. At each stop, Romana sprinkled a little bit ‘extra’ into the experience (correct pronunciation of challenging words, getting to know local pub owners/employees, historical tidbits not commonly discussed, etc). We highly recommend booking her for a private tour - it was so much fun!!”Wonderful experience

“The wine tasting and street food tour is a great experience, not just for the excellent wine and cheese to start, but also for the opportunity to sit and chat with a local, being able to ask any questions. The evening was fun, we learned quite a bit about Dubrovnik itself and its development of the tourist industry in the last few years. It wasn't just a dry lecture, it was a fun conversation where Romana was very open about different cultural aspects, giving advice on how to further plan the holiday and just general smalltalk. While the main streets are quite busy in the evening, the wine bar and the street food shop werent too crowded and still allowed for a decent conversation without having to shout to get over the noise. Overall would definitely recommend the tour to get a more personal view and experience in dubrovnik.”Local experience

We spent five hours on a tour of the old town with Marko. His knowledge, passion, enthusiasm and humour meant that it passed by in what seemed like only two hours. If you are having a tour through With Locals ask them to ‘get Marko’ you will not be disappointed and you will visit things that you would never see wandering around on your own. A Great old town tour
