Jadranka hat uns sehr nett und freundlich durch die Altstadt geführt, dabei geschichtliche Hintergründe erzählt aber auch viele lustige Geschichten. Uns hat der der erste Überblick über die Stadt mit ihr viel Spaß gemacht. Dazu hat sie uns noch ein paar tolle Tipps für Restaurants gegeben. Vielen Dank JadrankaFröhlicher Spaziergang durch Dubrovnik

Jardanka showed us Dubrovnik old town in a way that we could appreciate her town without being overwhelmed with history. She pointed out the less obvious things around old town away from the crowds. Her recommendations lead us to explore Lokrum island the following day which is a gem especially if you want to get away from the crowds and hike around the island. Thank you!Nice mix of history and fun titbits

We really appreciated taking the back roads through Dubrovnik -- discovering hidden spots, hearing personal anecdotes and learning about the Croatian laganini approach to life. Jadranka was kind, thoughtful, informative and truly enhanced our experience of the incredible city of Dubrovnik and beyond.Hidden Gems

Jadranka showed us a side of oldtown Dubrovnik we never would have found on our own. She was so friendly and knew her history. Our group of four enjoyed this tour very much. Like being with a friend!

Jadranka was everything you want in a local guide. We enjoyed watching her interactions with several local residents, and loved how kindly she spoke with them, and how they obviously adored her. I mentioned to her that one of our party needed a slower pace, and she accommodated this request with grace and patience. All of us really enjoyed the food and the ambiance of the restaurants she took us to, but her personality was what we all remarked on afterwards. As for knowledge of the city and the food, she had all the answers to our questions, and great stories that will remain in our memories for years. Croatia with a friend!

We had the most wonderful tour of Dubrovnik with Jadranka! She is incredibly knowledgeable, shared locations and history of the city, and graciously answered all of our questions! Jadranka really listened to our goals for the trip and her advice on restaurants and places to visit after the tour was invaluable! We would recommend her highly to anyone who wants to learn more about the city and people of Dubrovnik.An absolute delight!

Our tour with Jadranka was our third tour in our 3 days in Dubrovnik, and she made sure we were seeing new things and not repeating information from the other tour guides. She kept to the theme of the tour which was showing us hidden gems of the city. I wish we had done her tour on our first day so that we could have put the information to good use. She is knowledgeable and sweet and we had a great time with her. Great tour

We had a very pleasant and fun walking tour with Jadranka this week in Dubrovnik. Walking with a local guide not only allows you to be taken to extra special places you might miss on your own and stories not written in a guide book. Jadranka was also super helpful with much information about the surrounding area and what and what not to do which was most appreciated. We would highly recommend!Secrets of the Old City
