I organised this tour for 2 for my partner's birthday. I chose Vesna based on previous reviews. Vesna not only gave a superb tour, but was able to answer our many questions about what we were seeing and history of recent happenings in history. I asked Vesna to direct us to a bakery but she surpassed this by taking us to an excellent restaurant for bubbles and choice and cake. The ferries were not running due to bad weather so Vesna organised a wonderful chauffeur driven car instead. Hvala Vesna! Knowledgeable and adaptable guide

We had a private evening tour of Old Town Dubrovnik with Jelena and enjoyed it thoroughly. She is very knowledgeable about the centuries-long history of Dubrovnik and shared so much with us. Not just about Dubrovnik, but about the war in the 1990's, the communist period and its long history as a leader in world trade and culture. We learned about her own experience as a child growing up in Dubrovnik during the 1960's and were fascinated by her insights. Wow! She is such an amazing person and a really great tour guide. I would recommend her to any one traveling to Dubrovnik and especially recommend a personal tour. We asked lots of questions and she had the answers. She was very attentive to our own needs. Definitely 10 stars!Jelena is a super-star!

Prior starting the tour, we received quite some historical background which was really helpful understanding the city during the visit. She is passionate in what she is doing. Her advice with respect to nice restaurants, bars, … was welcomed. Karmen loves Croatia, Dubrovnik, but also Italy. Therefor, grazie mille Karmen!Nice introduction to Dubrovnik

Mia was brilliant and put us at ease with her knowledge and obvious passion for Dubrovnik. We spent the first 45 mins talking through the wonderful history of Dubrovnik and then we visited a couple of different venues to try a variety of locally produced wines. Must admit, I hadn’t realised that Croatia produced so many wines and the ones we tried were all amazing. We even tried an orange wine…we enjoyed talking to Mia about our backgrounds and the 3 hours went by in a flash, which is credit to Mia for making us feel comfortable. Mia also gave us a few tips about other parts of Dubrovnik to visit, which we certainly took advantage of during the rest of our stay. Mia was excellent, don’t hesitate to book this tour whilst in Dubrovnik. Great evening with Mia

We learned so many interesting facts about Dubrovnik Old Town, and ended the tour with gelato (big hit with the kids. And us!) Karmen also sent us restaurant recommendations for Dubrovnik and the next city we were visiting, which were greatly appreciated. Take the tour!Take the tour with Karmen!

I recently had the pleasure of taking a guided tour around Dubrovnik, a city I had visited as a child many years ago. Given the significant changes the city has undergone—especially since the war—I was eager to revisit and learn about its evolution. I was particularly keen on understanding the cultural shifts, local customs, and the impact of history on the city. Karmen, my guide, truly exceeded all expectations and made this a wonderful experience. Her deep knowledge of Dubrovnik’s past and present was evident. She not only shared fascinating stories about the city’s rich history but also provided thoughtful insights into the local customs, traditions, and the daily life of the locals. As I have a special interest in jewellery, Karmen seamlessly incorporated this into the tour. She took me to a local artisan and explained the significance of the designs unique to Dubrovnik. It was a perfect blend of cultural exploration and personal interest. What made the tour especially memorable was Karmen's warm, engaging personality. She was attentive to my questions and always eager to share more details, but never rushed. The variety in the tour kept me captivated from start to finish. I highly recommend Karmen to anyone looking for a thoughtful, customized, and enriching experience in Dubrovnik. Whether you're revisiting the city after years or seeing it for the first time, she will make it a journey worth remembering.Dubrovnik through the eyes of a Croatian

Karmen was a truly fabulous guide for our family of 4, my husband and me, and a daughter aged 19 and son age 15. As we know, with the ubiquity of smartphones in teenager's lives, their attention span is short. Karmen managed to keep their interest the whole time. She is a native to Dubrovnik and knows both the historical and the more recent history of the area equally well. She even threw in some fun Game of Thrones sites, complete with stills from the show to compare with the actual area in real life. She made things relevant but kept it fun. Loved seeing the hidden gems too! Please keep in mind that it is HOT in the summer, so book tours early or much later in the day. Karmen was a GREAT guide!Perfect intro to a beautiful city!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 Experience We absolutely loved our Drinks & Bites in Dubrovnik tour with Karmen! From start to finish, she made the experience feel personal, relaxed, and truly unforgettable. The food was incredible—we tried traditional Croatian dishes like šporki makaruli and crni rižot (black risotto), along with anchovies and so many other delicious bites. Karmen guided us through each stop, expertly explaining the dishes and helping us choose just the right things to try. The local wine she recommended was out of this world—easily one of the best we had on our entire trip. This tour was the perfect way to kick off our time in Dubrovnik. Thanks to Karmen, we felt confident navigating menus for the rest of our stay. She also gave us amazing local tips—including swimming spots to escape the crowds and must-visit restaurants—making the next few days even more enjoyable. She was warm, knowledgeable, and inclusive—especially thoughtful in engaging our teenage girls and making the evening fun for the whole family. Highly recommend booking this tour early in your trip!Unforgettable Bites & Local Gems w/Karmen

We booked this for our first night in Dubrovnik to help familiarize ourselves with Old Town more quickly. Ramona was punctual and knowledgeable. She took us to three different places where we tried local bites and drinks. Over our next days in the city we revisted one of the restaurants and relied on much of the info she shared with us. Also, we learned we have the same birthday! Highly recommend adding this experience to your travels! Delicious introduction to Dubrovnik

Our tour of Dubrovnik with Romana was an absolute highlight! Her infectious enthusiasm and vibrant personality made the experience incredibly enjoyable. Romana isn't just a guide; she's a captivating storyteller, blending rich history with fascinating anecdotes. Her knowledge is truly impressive, covering all notable sites with depth and passion. What truly set her apart was her knack for revealing Dubrovnik's hidden gems—charming alleys, local secrets, and breathtaking viewpoints we'd never have found alone. These unexpected delights added magic to our day. Romana’s ability to combine facts with engaging stories kept us entertained and informed. She was attentive, expertly answered questions, and ensured everyone felt included. For an unforgettable, fun, and insightful Dubrovnik experience beyond the typical tourist path, we highly recommend Romana. She is truly exceptional!Exceptional Tour of Dubrovnik with Romana!

She gave great explanations tailored to the levels of understanding of each person in our family, (2 adults and two kids, 7 and 13) and tailored to what we wanted to learn about Dubrovnik.

Restricting my review to just Dubrovnik is too limiting -- we just toured the Old Town and City Walls of Dubrovnik and it was magical! Karmen does an amazing job of showing the entire city, highlighting the deep and fascinating history and even weaving in the obligatory Game of Thrones stops in a great 2 hour tour. She's smart, engaging and helpful and the best guide I've had in any of my world travels! I would rate 100 out of 10 if I was allowed!BEST GUIDE IN THE WORLD!!!!

Karmen led our family on a 1.5 hour walking tour through the Old Town Dubrovnik. We have 3 young kids (10 year old twins and a 6 year old very energetic kiddo!) and she kept them engaged and happily answered their MANY questions!!! She was full of fun details about the city’s history and gave the adults fun facts about where Game of Thrones was filmed. She paid special attention to the hot weather, finding shade everywhere we stopped. Her recommendations for ice cream and pizza were on point!! I would highly recommend her tour for groups of all ages!! Thanks Karmen!!! Our tour with Karmen was fantastic!!

This was my family's first time visiting Croatia and first time using WithLocals. We had a wonderful experience with Karmen who provided great insights of Old Town, living in Dubrovnik, and interesting stories of the history of the city. It was quite warm outside, but Karmen sought out shade whenever she had a story to share. When scheduling the tour, Karmen was quick in her responses and even provided us some wonderful recommendations. We booked a 90 minute session, which was the perfect time to cover the history of the city, but also provide us with her own insights. The time with Karmen felt like a friend was guiding you around their city. I would recommend booking this tour on one of your first days, as Karmen provides many good recommendations. Also, don't eat gelato or drink coffee beforehand, Karmen will make a stop during the tour :) My family, 4 english-speaking adults, would highly recommend this tour experience. Many thanks Karmen! 90 Minutes of Hidden Gems

If you want to experience Dubrovnik at its absolute best, book a tour with Paolo. His contagious enthusiasm and unmatched energy brought every corner of this beautiful city to life. Paolo is passionate, hilarious, and a natural storyteller, weaving history, humor, and local pride into every step of the journey. We saw hidden gems and breathtaking views we would have never found on our own, all while learning so much about Dubrovnik’s rich past and vibrant present. The time flew by in the best way, filled with laughter and awe as we explored this magical city. Paolo’s deep love for Dubrovnik is evident in every story he shares, and spending a day with him felt like being shown around by a dear friend who truly wants you to fall in love with his city. ⭐️ This tour was an absolute highlight of our trip and a memory we will cherish. Truly amazing! Do not miss the chance to experience Dubrovnik with Paolo!🌟 Dubrovnik Comes Alive with Paolo
