Everything from GOT facts and photoshoots, to the history of Dubrovnik, with some local folklore thrown in for good measure. Highly entertaining, educational and enjoyable.

If you are looking for a wonderful, insightful and inspiring few hours in Dubrovnik- you must spend it with Karmen! Her knowledge and delivery are like a field trip for adults who love stories. She IS the hidden gem in this old town and everyone needs to know it! We had one of the best days and Karmen’s recommendations post tour were spot on. To the delight of my husband and friends, we ate the best panini in the world and tried some local Croatian beer. And the gelato- yummy! Thanks Karmen!!! 💗 An absolute magnificent experience!

Karmen has outstanding in guiding us through Old City with a focus on the Game of Thrones locations. But, it was clear that her knowledge of Dubrovnik and Croatia more broadly allowed us to get a much deeper view of the city. She was personable and tailored our time based on our interests.

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!!!!

After a morning of exploring old town and walking the wall, we had a 2 hour window to see the GOT sites. We quickly booked a tour with Romana. She was great! She knew more about GOT than we could ever know and took us to all the key places and scenes. Her picture book helped us reenact in our pitiful way. Her efficiency got us through all of it in exactly 2 hours. Efficient GOT tour

We chose Romana for our Dubrovnik guide based on her high ratings and were so pleased that we did. We learned a lot about her beautiful city during our time together and she was very kind about sharing insider tips to make the rest of our trip equally wonderful. Romana painted a picture of what life is like as a local during the tour by sharing information about her family’s history in Dubrovnik in the context of the history of the city itself. We especially appreciated her tips on buying the Dubrovnik pass, how to get to Mount Srd and how to use public transportation to get back and forth from Lapad. She also offered for us to contact her following the tour if we needed any other information during our time in Dubrovnik, which was so generous, and above and beyond what most guides provide. I would recommend Romana highly, and would also suggest booking a tour with her at the beginning of your time in Dubrovnik. You’ll feel like a local in no time. Excellent experience!

Our adult family of four toured Dubrovnik on a busy weekend day, and Romana made our tour feel very private and special. Her pride in Dubrovnik and her passion for its history is evident, and we loved seeing the back alleys and hidden gems like the local spices and foods in the home of a Dubrovnik shopkeeper. Visiting the Memorial Room of the Fallen Dubrovnik Soldiers was very moving, and brought home the hardships this beautiful city has faded over the many centuries. Romana is the tour guide you want, to get the full experience while visiting Dubrovnik! Romana is a gem!

My daughters attention span was not the best, but Karmen kept her engaged and knew when to move on. Karmen also took the time to go more in depth with my husband and I while we switched off exploring with our daughter. Thank you for a wonderful walking tour!Great woth kids!

I cannot recommend The History of Dubrovnik tour with Marko highly enough. This experience was far more than a typical sightseeing – it was a deeply moving and intellectually enriching journey into the heart of a city that has endured, resisted, and ultimately thrived. Our guide Marko was exceptional: knowledgeable, passionate, and deeply respectful of the complex history of his city and his country that he was sharing. Marko didn’t just recite facts—he told stories often involving his personal feelings and emotions. Stories of resilience, of identity, of a people caught in the crosswinds of a fractured nation. Walking through Dubrovnik’s ancient streets while learning about its role during the Yugoslav Wars gave us a whole new appreciation for the city’s beauty and strength and made the experience all the more meaningful. We learned a lot about the ancient and newest history of the city and would certainly come back for more!Unforgettable rich history of Dubrovnik

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!

We had an incredible walking tour of Old Town Dubrovnik with Marco in June 2025. From the moment we met him, Marco was warm, engaging, and full of fascinating stories that brought Dubrovnik’s rich history and culture to life! What made this tour truly special was Marco’s ability to take us off the beaten path. While we did visit some of the city's most iconic landmarks, he also led us through quiet alleys, hidden courtyards, and scenic viewpoints that most tourists completely miss. It felt like we were exploring a more authentic side of the city—one that only a true local could reveal. Marco also shared insider tips on where locals like to go to the beach and where to eat, pointing out small, family-run restaurants and tucked-away wine bars we never would have found on our own. Thanks to him, we ended up enjoying one of the best meals of our trip at Spaghetteria Toni! If you're planning to visit Dubrovnik and want more than just a standard history tour of this amazing walled city, I highly recommend booking with Marco. He’s not only incredibly knowledgeable but also makes you feel like a friend showing you around his hometown.Fantastic Walking Tour with Marco!

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 An Unforgettable Day with Marko! Our tour with Marko through the city walls, the Old City, and Lokrum Island was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Dubrovnik. From start to finish, Marko brought incredible energy, humor, and deep local knowledge to every step of the experience. Hearing his personal stories about growing up in Dubrovnik—including his memories of the 1991 bombing and life during the war—was something we’ll never forget. That first-hand perspective gave so much meaning to everything we saw and made the city come alive in a way no guidebook ever could. Marko is a natural storyteller, full of personality and warmth. He kept our group—including teenagers—completely engaged and laughing throughout the tour. His recommendation to start early was spot on—we beat the heat and the crowds and had seen so much by noon that it felt like we gained an extra day of vacation! He also made our time on Lokrum Island truly special—walking us through the botanical gardens, monastery, and showing us where to find the famous peacocks. Best of all, he guided us to the top cliff-jumping spots and made sure we could enjoy the adventure safely. Thanks to his advice, the rest of our afternoon on the island was unforgettable. Marko is the kind of guide who turns a tour into a lasting memory. We can’t recommend him enough!A Must-Do Tour with Marko!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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
