What you can expect
On this captivating day trip, you’ll journey from Dubrovnik to the enchanting island of Korčula, often referred to as “Little Dubrovnik” due to its medieval charm and striking similarities to its larger counterpart. The island is known for its well-preserved old town, which is a walled city dating back to the 13th century. As you wander through the narrow, cobbled streets, you’ll be surrounded by stunning ancient architecture, including Venetian-style buildings, grand stone houses, and fortifications that transport you back in time.
During your visit, you’ll explore St. Mark’s Cathedral, a magnificent Gothic-Renaissance structure, renowned for its intricate stone carvings, stunning altarpiece, and impressive bell tower that offers panoramic views of the town and the surrounding Adriatic Sea. A visit to Marco Polo’s House is another highlight, where you can learn about the famous Venetian explorer’s life and his connection to Korčula, which is believed to be his birthplace.
After discovering the historic gems of the island, your local guide will provide personalized recommendations for lunch at one of Korčula’s local restaurants.
For an added touch to your day, you can request a personalized offer for a wine-tasting experience on the nearby Pelješac Peninsula, renowned for its exceptional wines.
Reviews from guests
We chose Romana for our Dubrovnik guide based on her high ratings and were so pleased that we did. We learned a lot about her beautiful city during our time together and she was very kind about sharing insider tips to make the rest of our trip equally wonderful. Romana painted a picture of what life is like as a local during the tour by sharing information about her family’s history in Dubrovnik in the context of the history of the city itself. We especially appreciated her tips on buying the Dubrovnik pass, how to get to Mount Srd and how to use public transportation to get back and forth from Lapad. She also offered for us to contact her following the tour if we needed any other information during our time in Dubrovnik, which was so generous, and above and beyond what most guides provide.
I would recommend Romana highly, and would also suggest booking a tour with her at the beginning of your time in Dubrovnik. You’ll feel like a local in no time. Excellent experience!
Our adult family of four toured Dubrovnik on a busy weekend day, and Romana made our tour feel very private and special. Her pride in Dubrovnik and her passion for its history is evident, and we loved seeing the back alleys and hidden gems like the local spices and foods in the home of a Dubrovnik shopkeeper. Visiting the Memorial Room of the Fallen Dubrovnik Soldiers was very moving, and brought home the hardships this beautiful city has faded over the many centuries. Romana is the tour guide you want, to get the full experience while visiting Dubrovnik! Romana is a gem!
Romana was absolutely fluent in English and speaks faster than I can which meant you learned so much in the 2 hour tour. Everything from GOT facts and photoshoots, to the history of Dubrovnik, with some local folklore thrown in for good measure. Highly entertaining, educational and enjoyable. Definitely recommended!!Entertaining local insight!

Romana was a gracious host as we visited Dubrovnik, an incredible city with an amazing history and culture! Romana provided a very nice walking tour providing beautiful sites, history, and Game of Thrones stories and filming locations. Highly recomend!Amazing Tour of Dubrovnik!
We booked this for our first night in Dubrovnik to help familiarize ourselves with Old Town more quickly. Ramona was punctual and knowledgeable. She took us to three different places where we tried local bites and drinks. Over our next days in the city we revisted one of the restaurants and relied on much of the info she shared with us. Also, we learned we have the same birthday! Highly recommend adding this experience to your travels! Delicious introduction to Dubrovnik
Our tour of Dubrovnik with Romana was an absolute highlight! Her infectious enthusiasm and vibrant personality made the experience incredibly enjoyable. Romana isn't just a guide; she's a captivating storyteller, blending rich history with fascinating anecdotes.
Her knowledge is truly impressive, covering all notable sites with depth and passion. What truly set her apart was her knack for revealing Dubrovnik's hidden gems—charming alleys, local secrets, and breathtaking viewpoints we'd never have found alone. These unexpected delights added magic to our day.
Romana’s ability to combine facts with engaging stories kept us entertained and informed. She was attentive, expertly answered questions, and ensured everyone felt included. For an unforgettable, fun, and insightful Dubrovnik experience beyond the typical tourist path, we highly recommend Romana. She is truly exceptional!Exceptional Tour of Dubrovnik with Romana!
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 !
Romana was great. Engaging, energetic and knowledgeable. A great person to take you around Dubrovnik!Great tour
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
“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
Romana delivered on all requests made in the planning process. She knows Dubrovnik very well, having spent her entire
life there. Here knowledge of Dubrovnik (and Croatia) was spot on. It was such a joy seeing and learning about all the hidden gems in Old Town. Highly recommend her.
True local experience
“EXCELLENT TOUR! HIGHLY RECOMMANDABLE! Romana is a lovely and charming young tourist guide. I want to thank her for her excellent storytelling and for her effort to make the tour so special and magical by taking me to non-touristic and not so crowded hidden places. I was amazed and I will recommend this tour for sure! I also loved the visit of the authentic little shop with homemade sweets, spices and marmelades! In the end I felt like I made new friends in Dubrovnik and that's what it is all about.”Excellent experience
“Romana was very kind and accommodating our group, booking us on the same day. She is very knowledgeable, blending historical elements with recent bits of pop culture. Romana was so sweet and came up with different things to engage/distract our little ones (7 and 5 year olds). The carob muffins were tasty for both young and grown ups. Thanks again for being a great host!”Amazing kid friendly experience!
“Romana is so knowledgeable about Dubrovnik. As a local who grew up here and who does so many other tours in town as well she really did share a whole lot about hidden gems and what to do while in town. Great way to start my trip! Thank you!”Great experience!
Romana picked us up and returned us to the ship on time. We spent a delightful day with her learning about history and
culture. She is very knowledgable, energetic, and speaks good English. She shared her own stories with us and even introduced us to locals along the way. Our visit to the war museum and her comments helped us to better understand the conflict. Her driver was very safe and friendly. We had a few specific requests, and she accommodated us very well. As Romana taught us--Hvala, or thanks!Unforgettable experience
Romana was excellent as she customized our tour for 11 including small children. The tour included: pick up and drop
off from our ship, beautiful panorama shots of Dubrovnik, historical facts including tour of sights where Game of Thrones was shot including photos of scenes! She took us through charming backstreets and great restaurant that only a local would know. Romana was patient and kind with our children and made sure we were all having a good time!Beautiful tour
“I cannot recommend Romana highly enough! She is the friendliest and loveliest tour guide we have ever had! It was such a wonderful tour being shown Dubrovnik from a local, she showed us hidden gems and gave us excellent advice from food recommendations to tourist information. She recommended excellent restaurants to eat at and took us to a local shop (which we would have never found by ourselves) where we had some local cuisine and coffee which was delicious, we even bought t-shirts from her fathers shop which was great value and a lovely reminder of our trip. This was the highlight of our trip and exceeded expectations. I highly recommend Romana’s tour as it made our stay in Dubrovnik so much more than the few tourist things you think of doing. Thank you Romana for a lovely day!”Amazing tour!
