Romana is a gem!
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!

Karmen was very very knowledgeable of all things Game of Thrones, Dubrovnik and Croatia. We had a great time on our walking tour around Old Town seeing all the different filming locations and learning how things were done. She also gave us so much history about the city and included lots of recommendations and great tips for traveling around Croatia!!
