Karmen gave us a wonderful introduction to Dubrovnik perfectly tailored to children, and made sure I could bring the stroller for my youngest. Although my two girls were incredibly shy and didn't talk the whole time, all Karmen's commentary all went in and they were captivated. I have been amused to hear from my daughter's teacher that when she went back to school she educated her whole class on the history of Dubrovnik, the Saint, why there are cats etc. The school were impressed and I said it was our fantastic tour guide!
Karmen also took us into a fun Christmas shop, and to a handful of other stops including a great craft beer bar that made my husbands day, and also gave us great advice.
Thank you Karmen for doing one final tour for us at the end of your season.Fantastic - We highly recommend Karmen

Eliana was very friendly and welcoming of our family of 5 for the kid-friendly tour. She walked us through the old town, with interesting facts and stories about ancient and recent history of the region. She did miss the mark on the ‘kid-friendly’ aspect however. I had provided the ages of our 3 children (11, 13, 14) in advance. She did not engage them much at all, there was minimal age appropriate content. She gave them a colouring book more suitable for a 5 year old. I think their favourite thing was the ice cream at the end, which we could easily have obtained on our own. An informative overview of Dubrovnik

We had a brilliant time with Karmen today! Even though our kids (12, 10 and 7) put on a good show of being sleepy and weary, she brought them to life gradually with her kindness and fun personality. My daughter compared her to Mary Poppins 😂 We learned so much about the city, without it being boring, and she happily accommodated other places we were keen to see - her flexibility was also appreciated when we had to rearrange the tour due to sickness. We would highly recommend this tour with Karmen! Fun and interesting tour of Dubrovnik

Karmen was such a wonderful guide! She met us by a fountain on one side of the city, then guided our family through, pausing for interesting stories and unique finds. We loved that we were able to customize the tour more for our needs—traveling with a 5-year-old and a (hungry!) 1-year-old. She was even understanding as our toddler had a market side meltdown, suddenly starving… and laughed as he downed an entire carton of strawberries. We ended with ice cream, but didn’t want to say goodbye to Karmen. Couldn’t like her more! ThanksPerfect morning stroll with the fam

Dubrovnik’s Old Town is a quaint and charming plus, but is buzzing with activity during the day. Karmen did a wonderful job navigating us away from the busy streets into the more tucked away quieter areas that really show the flavor of Dubrovnik. Despite it being so hot out, she kept our family engaged and informed walking through the shady lanes of the Old Town!Charming Old Town tour!

A tour is always only as good as its guide. We had a fantastic time as a family on this tour with Karmen. She is energetic, knowledgeable, professional yet personable and super engaging. Whether it was catering to my curious 8 year old, my moody impossible to please teenager, and my husband and i- she was sensitive to everyone’s needs and way of learning. We learnt a lot, had our questions well answered and had loads of fun. Thank you Karmen the world needs more guides like you!! 💕Karmem made all the difference!

This tour was perfect for us. We are travelling with 2 little children (5 & 1), so this private family friendly tour was the perfect way for our little family to see Dubrovnik old town.
Karmen was very patient and engaging with our kids, and our 5 year old is still talking about how much he enjoyed the tour.
The tour was very informative and we enjoyed ourselves very much.
A perfect start to our stay in Dubrovnik. 10/10 recommend.
Thanks so much Karmen!Fantastic family tour

We were travelling with children and she was such a patient person. She explained everything and showed us very interesting spots. Thanks to her, we returnet to the hotel by taxy boat ....what a wonderful journey.
She is very funny and it seems that you have the whole day with her as she never rushes you. At the end of the tour, she was very kind and took us to a local wine shop and recommended a wonderful local red wine.
We also apprecciated the map she gave us with all the main restaurants and nice spot at old town.

Karmen made this tour really family friendly - for everyone at their individual age!
Instead of a long description: My children said it was the best guided tour they ever had, although it was the first one in English and although they did not understand everything; they were a little sad when it ended.
What else do I have to say?Wonderful tour through Dubrovnik!

We had the most memorable experience on our private family tour of Dubrovnik’s old town.
Karmen is full of knowledge and was excellent in keeping all the kids entertained and engaged for the whole 2 hours.
Her fun and warm nature made us feel like we were being shown around town by a friend.
Karmen even went out of her way to find a local we had lost contact with years ago and organised for him to meet us once our tour was complete. She really went above and beyond!
I highly recommend a tour with Karmen for a unforgettable experience of Dubrovnik

Eliana was the perfect guide for our family. She is extremely knowledgeable and great with kids. We arrived late (give yourself AT LEAST 30 minutes extra to find parking in Dubrovnik!) and she still gave us the full tour experience. You can tell she is passionate about the city's history and we walked away with a much better understanding and appreciation for what Croatia has been through historically, right up until the early 1990s. Great day in Dubrovnik!

We had the best local tour of Dubrovnik with Karmen! We arrived at the tour on a rainy afternoon with our two kids (8 and 11), who were a bit tired from traveling in that morning. Karmen was quick to engage them, offering to change up the schedule to get them a sweet treat early. She shared lots of fun facts about the city and offered some local tips and tricks we found handy during the rest of our stay. Overall a great experience!Lovely tour with Karmen

It was so much fun, she went above and beyond and left us at an amazing swimming spot, and gave us loads of recommendations for places to eat and things to see all

She took care of our 4 and 5 year old and showed them the fun side of Dubrovnik for kids - the explorer a little jail, had gelato at a favorite locals spot, and had fun asking her questions.

She also opened doors for us to experiences we wouldn't have been able to have on our own, like getting us permission to briefly venture onto the walls (without the eye-watering ticket prices, or two hour circuit in full sun with young kids).

Thank you Eli for showing us highlights of Dubrovnik that we never would see on our own. Eli was so kind with us and our children, one of whom a jet-lagged 7 year old. Her stories were engaging and interesting to all of us. Eli was happy to make recommendations for the rest of our stay, and provided us resources to learn more about Dubrovnik. The added surprise of the gift for the children was very special! The tour length was just the right amount of time and a good value.

Not only did we all learn something about the history but she showed us secret spots to hang out at and the best restaurants. And the best part was we kept running into her after and the boys were so excited! I couldn’t recommend more highly. Thanks Karmen!What an amazing introduction to Dubrovnik!

Karmen was really friendly and very knowledgeable and interacted with my 11 and 13 yr old really well … she also got them an ice cream which was lovely and found me a place where I could have a cup of ( dairy free) coffee! . Not too long a tour for children although I probably could’ve walked and talked for longer as I’m a bit of a history nerd .
I did think the tour was overpriced but this isn’t a reflection on the tour guide perhaps the company ? Really informative

We requested a tour with Karmen due to her good reviews on tours with small kids. She responded so promptly and suggested a tour the next day. She was flexible with the timing when our flight was delayed, and was super communicative. We spent 2 great hours with her strolling around Dubrovnik along with our 4yo and nearly 2yo. She was fantastic with our kids and our 4yo in particular kept referring back to some of her games throughout the rest of our stay in Dubrovnik. She was very patient with our rambunctious 2 year old and held her hand for most of the tour. It was a great way for us to discover Dubrovnik and learn about its history, as well as to get a local's view on Croatian politics and about life in the country. Karmen also gave us some great dinner recommendations and so kindly said we could reach out to ask questions we have if any arose during the rest of our stay. 10/10 recommend. Amazing personalized tour

We booked the kid oriented tour, and Karmen was wonderful. She struck the balance of educating and entertaining our kids, and she was warm and gracious and responded well to their interests and attention span. She also pointed out all the best spots for photos, and offered to capture some great pictures of our family. She also leads Game of Thrones tours, so she’s able to point out spots from the show to adults while giving a traditional historical tour. Lastly, she was incredibly kind, fun and patient with my kids, and she spoke English so perfectly that there was never an issue with them following her tour. I highly recommend tours with Karmen for both adults and kids! Wonderful Experience with Karmen
