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.

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

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

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!

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

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

We had only a day and a half in Dubrovnik and needed someone to give us an overview upon which we could make the most of our time in the city. Marko more than filled that need. Born and raised in the city, with a passion for its history, culture, and arts, we spent three hours learning our way around the city and identifying places for further exploration on our own in the time we had left. Marko's English is top notch, and he was careful to pace the time to our needs and interests, fielding questions along the way and giving clear answers as he did. Communication with him was clear, and we met in a spot easy to find. You will not find a better guide for this city that holds so much history and exemplifies the qualities that make Croatia such a great place to visit!Perfect Guide for a Complex City

Jelena is a fantastic guide! She was funny, patient, warm, and extremely knowledgeable about the area. The tour was paced well, and appropriate for different levels of Game of Thrones fans. It was the perfect blend of history and GoT tidbits (she was there while the filming occured, and so has some really cool behind-the-scenes info and pictures). Jelena also had a snack break in the middle of the tour and recommended some fantastic places to stop by. Would HIGHLY recommend Jelena's tour!!Fantastic tour!! Highly recommend Jelena!!

“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 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

“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!
