Barbara was the perfect guide for our family of 3. (13 year old daughter) She is a lovely person who cares about her city very much. She was engaging and knowledgeable and I would not hesitate to recommend her. We really loved our early morning tour. Thank you so much Barbara - it was a fantastic couple of hours xWonderful!

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!

My brother and my two adult sons spent a nice afternoon with Barbara. She taught us the history and culture of Dubrovnik. Was able to answer a broad array of questions and set us up with suggestions for the rest of our trip in Croatia. Also suggested excellent local restaurants. You truly feel like you are hanging out with a friend for a few hours. We even talked local sports. 10/10! Learned how to think like a local

My husband and I recently had a phenomenal tour with Barbara. She does a great job at giving you all the historic information while also giving you wonderful insights about current day to day life. To us, this is the best way to learn about a country, its people and its history. 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

We booked a private 3 hour walking tour with Barbara, and enjoyed every minute of it. Barbara was very engaging, spoke excellent English, and guided us through the history of this beautiful city and its surroundings, recounting us with may interesting stories. We particularly enjoyed talking about everyday life today in Dubrovnik. She left us with very useful tips of how to plan the rest of our days, which islands to visit, where to eat, and even where to shop. She was everything I would wish for in a tour guide.Walking with Barbara

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!

Jeni&Rolf-The overall tour was great. Barbara was great with her story telling and was able to keep the whole family interested. The hour passed very quickly. She knew her facts and was able to answer all our questions. Definitely recommend. 👌🏼 Madison-This tour is perfect for anyone wanting to explore Dubrovnik’s old town, hear a brief history of the city, and decide what to do during your time. We took this tour the night we arrived in Dubrovnik and it helped us plan what we wanted to do the following two days. Barbara had local insight on open exhibits and things to do that we would not have known about otherwise. Great info and it was a private tour so it was personalized! Also Barbara’s English is amazing and it’s very easy to understand everything. Highly recommend. Lesley-Amazing introduction to Dubrovnik! Barbara was the perfect guide - extremely knowledgeable, personable and entertaining. She went above and beyond her remit and was in no hurry to finish after the hour was up (she happily went on telling the amazing story of her beloved home town long after the time was up, such was her love for the place). She is passionate about the place and rightly proud of her birthright. We came away with a much better understanding of the history that has shaped Dubrovnik and Croatia. I strongly recommend Barbara’s tour; it is a joyous story of the city condensed into a short walk. Donna-Barbara was kind and knowledgeable and I really enjoyed learning from her😊 Definitely recommend(Jeni&Rolf), Highly recommend(Madison), Amazing introduction(Lesley), Enjoyable!(Donna)
