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!

Romana was absolutely fluent in English and speaks faster than I can which meant you learned so much in the 2 hour tour. 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. Definitely recommended!!Entertaining local insight!

We had a private three hour tour with Marko along with two parents and two college age kids. Marko was spectacular in giving us a detailed history of Croatia and took us to all the major sites in old town. His way of speaking kept all of us interested and we really had a fantastic experience! Would strongly encourage taking this tour with him. Amazing Tour of Old Town Dubrovnik

Our 2 days with Barbara were a 10 (being the best)in any and all categories. We made a new friend. She was extremely knowledgeable, personable, interesting, accommodating and intelligent. She communicated more than a narration of the sights, Barbara allowed us to better understand the people of her city and country. Working with her would be worth it at any price. Thank you. Wonderful Guide and Experience

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 booked a 2 hour tour with Barbara. Comms were great and we met on time. Barbara walked us in to the old town and gave us a good understanding of how the city evolved over the years including souring the 90’s that was really interesting. We had our 18 and 21 year old daughters with us and she managed to keep their attention by making the tour very much about the people. I’m sure she had lots of GOT’s stuff but as we have never watched it we were spared. A great way to get to know your surroundings and get some great recommendations of where to eat. A great tour

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

This was such a great thing to do on our first day in Dubrovnik. Barbara was so personable, kind and full of the most useful and interesting stories about the city. We learned about its history, its people, its day to day life, festivals, best spots and things to do, idiosyncrasies and the hidden things that guide books or larger tours just wouldn't tell you. Barbara kept us oldies plus our 13 year old and 18 year old fully engaged (and even squeezed in an ice cream stop to keep energy levels up!). Her stories of her childhood and family life in Croatiia really brought things to life. Her stories and the memorial to the Balkan crisis and siege of Dubrovnik was truly moving. Thank you Barbara for a great introduction to a fascinating city!The best guide to Dubrovnik!

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.

We had the most incredible day exploring Dubrovnik with Marko as our tour guide! From start to finish, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and so much fun to be around. We started our day walking the iconic city walls, and Marko brought the history of Dubrovnik and Croatia to life, answering our many many questions with enthusiasm. And gave the Game of Thrones fans among us some info too! After the city, we headed out to Lokrum Island for a really fun lunch at nice restaurant where we accidently fed the wild peacocks some lunch and then had fabulous kayaking tour with Marko showing us beautiful coastal caves and getting to do some cliff jumping. If you’re visiting Dubrovnik, do yourself a favor and book a day with Marko. It was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. Thank you, Marko, for an unforgettable experience! Wonderful!

The pace of the tour was great, and she provided opportunities to ask questions and stay longer at different places that were interesting to us. Barbara, also gave us great tips about what other things we “must see”, what to avoid and how to make best of our time in Dubrovnik. Finally, if you’re a foodie her restaurant recommendations were spot on!Insightful and fun

Our private tour with Barbara was one of the absolute highlights of our time in Dubrovnik. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in great hands — she’s warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and so passionate about her hometown. Barbara brought the history of Dubrovnik to life with stories that were both fascinating and deeply personal. You could tell she truly loves this city and takes pride in sharing it with others. She took us to a delicious oyster tasting, introduced us to her favorite olive oil shop (which we never would have found on our own), and made sure we caught the Pigeon Parade at noon — something we didn’t even know we needed to see, but absolutely loved! I’m a cat lover and had brought treats with me, and Barbara went out of her way to make sure we visited a few of Dubrovnik’s sun-loving feline residents. It was such a sweet, thoughtful touch that made the day feel even more personal. Barbara didn’t just show us the city — she welcomed us into it. By the end of the tour, it felt like we were exploring with a lifelong friend. We can’t thank her enough for this special experience and would recommend her to absolutely anyone visiting Dubrovnik.Loved our day with Barbara!

Excellent introductory tour to the beautiful Old City of Dubrovnik. Interesting references to the War of the 1990’s from someone who remembers it well and can explain his own feelings and experiences. The Old City is very busy, even in early June, so I would recommend an early morning visit if possible, definitely if you’re doing the City Wall walk. Fascinating, enjoyable tour.

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
