We enjoyed walking the old city of Dubrovnik with Mia. We appreciated her knowledge of the long history of the city, and sharing personal experiences as a child during the war. She has a terrific sense of humor, and was able to easily connect with our interests and preference to support the local businesses and artisans. She took the time to provide recommendations for locally owned restaurants and shops (we LOVED Carmen!). And offered suggestions for a winery and nearby towns to visit. We explored many of her suggestions and were not disappointed. We would definitely recommend a tour with Mia to friends and family visiting Dubrovnik. Hvala Mia! Time well spent! Hvala Mia!

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.

What an amazing time we spent with Mia! She is extremely knowledgeable, charming, and fun to listen to. We heard and learned so much. She provided an in-depth historic timeline and provided amazing insights and stories, even her personal experience of the war. We also enjoyed spending some relaxing conversation time with her in a restaurant, and she provided us with useful tips for restaurants and excursions. We warmheartedly and wholeheartedly recommend Mia. But beware: she is now (end of December) taking reservations for next October! :-)Wow!

(About local Vlaho)

23 October 2024

Vlaho did a beautiful job mixed history, experience and a world of knowledge about his beautiful home town of Dubrovnik. He messaged me back and forth and patiently made sure all my questions were answered. Vlaho gave my group perfect instructions as to where to meet him. My wife has troubles with lots of stairs, cobblestones and inclines. He made sure that she knew in advance where the few steps were and watched out for her through the whole your. From the time we started the tour, Vlaho explained very articulately how history brought us to where we were right then and there. He explained how things have changed over the years. He didn’t miss a step. He made us feel like locals walking through small side streets discussing whatever we saw. My wife and I have been traveling for over 40 years and I consider Vlaho one of the best tour guides we ever had. When you come to Dubrovnik, you must tour with Vlaho.

You couldn’t ask for a better or more knowledgeable pitchman for Dubrovnik. Paulo is a fascinating and entertaining storyteller who brings Old Town to life. We laughed and chatted non-stop and I don’t think there was a question he couldn’t answer. He was great at sharing his personal experience during the Homeland War and his passion for Dubrovnik is infectious. Highly recommend a Tour with Paolo! Dubrovnik’s Biggest Fan
