Dubrovnik Old Town is a visually stunning city and Marko brought it to life with his vast knowledge of its history and culture. He also shared his childhood memories of growing up here and we really enjoyed his company. The 5hr tour went by quickly and I would highly recommend Marko for a very entertaining time!Amazing Tour

Our party of 7 had a top-notch tour with Marko. He gave us a personal perspective on life in Dubrovnik now and in the past. He blended history and Game of Thrones lore and he introduced us to the best ice cream shop in town. From Dubrovnik, with love

We can’t say enough about our awesome tour of Dubrovnik Old City (not old town!). Marko was personable and shared a lot of interesting stories about growing up right outside the walls. He answered all of our questions and was truly passionate about sharing his love of his country. Highly recommend!!Fun and informative local guide

We had a wonderful tour with Marko learning about Dubrovnik’s history and culture. He is very knowledgeable and did a great job helping us discover the old city. He shared many insights and recommendations for us to explore on our own. He has a great personality and our time with him flew by. Highly recommend Marko for your tour in Dubrovnik!Great tour with Marko!

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

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

Marko was absolutely brilliant! His local knowledge of the history of the Old Town was outstanding.
He brought so much passion and insight to the whole experience.
I would highly recommend Marko as a guide as he will truly provide you with a great experience and everything you need to know about the incredible history behind the city.
I will be returning to Dubrovnik later in the year and will definitely use Marko as my guide.Exceptional tour guide

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
