Marco was an excellent tour guide who speaks flawless English. We learned lots about Dubrovnik history and about modern Dubrovnik. Marco answered all our questions and gave us pointers on food and craft beer. When he found out that some of the group are Game of Thrones fans, he told us about the filming in the city. I highly recommend Marco as a tour guide.Marko an excelent guide

We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to Dubrovnik than we received with Marko I. He was personable with a sense of humor and extremely well informed. There were four of us and he met everyone's questions with in depth answers. He was flexible and met all of our needs. He even gave us restaurant recommendations which were excellent. There was no request too little. You would be lucky to have him as your guide.There was no request too little

As a Dubrovnik native, Marko was incredibly knowledgeable about Croatia, the city and its history. He told us remarkable and personal stories about the 1991-92 war and its effect on Croatia. He was flexible so that he easily tailored the tour to meet our needs. Besides Dubrovnik (and yes Game of Throne scenes), we went to Mount Srd for scenic views and Lokrum, a beautiful bio-diverse island. His tour was especially great for us since we had limited time in the Dubrovnik area. I highly recommend Marko!Marko was incredibly knowledgeable about Croatia, the city and its history

What a fantastic day! Marko is very knowledgeable and passionate about his hometown of Dubrovnik. We toured the whole of old town as well as walked the distance of the wall. So beautiful. Then we took a ferry to the island of Lokrum for more beautiful views. We very much enjoyed our day and mainly due to Marko as such a great guideMarko is very knowledgeable and passionate about his hometown of Dubrovnik

Marco exceeded our expectations. He lead us through Dubrovnik with great history, funny stories and patience. Our large group of 14 was grateful for the transportation from our cruise port to the city gates. Marco helped us shop, arranged for a tour of Lokrum island. He arranged for a lovely lunch at the only restaurant on the island and took us through ruins and botanical gardens. We enjoyed swimming on the island and cliff jumping into the clear waters. We enthusiastically recommend Marco.Marco exceeded our expectations
