    Excellent guide and fascinating tour
    Really excellent tour. Marco brought the history of this magnificent walled city to life and shared his own family’s experience of life in Dubrovnik and the more recent civil war. Highly recommend - one of the best historic tours we’ve done anywhere.

    Walls Tour with Marco
    We had Marco as our tour guide for the walls and he was so knowledgeable. He is a resident of the small town within the walls and it was fascinating to hear his stories and learn about the history of Croatia, particularly through the war. This ended up being one of the best things we did on our trip to Croatia and highly recommend Marco!

    Great walking tour!
    We thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hour walking tour of the city walls of Dubrovnik with our guide, Bruno. Bruno was a very pleasant young man with an excellent knowledge of the Old Town and its history. We highly recommend this tour!

    Ask for Marko!
    We were lucky enough to have Marko as our guide and even more fortunate that we had him all to ourselves! The two hours passed extremely quickly. This tour was very informative about the history of the walls and Dubrovnik itself, without being too much like a lesson in a school history class! Just the right balance! Best to do the morning tour as it was already hot at 9am!

    Amazing views
    Excellent small group tour of Dubrovnik old town city walls today with local born Dubrovnik guide Mihaela- company Dubrovnik Local Guides. Definitely recommend doing with a local guide. She was super knowledgeable, well paced and we learnt a lot about recent events and historical ones. Not to be missed. The views are amazing of the entire old town and port. Thanks Mihaela 👍😃😃

    Dubrovnik Starter for Ten
    We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Marko. We were fortunate enough to just be one couple on the tour. He was interesting and so knowledgeable and engaging. His local insights and historical facts were fun and illuminating. The final quiz was the climax to a wonderful morning in Dubrovnik (particularly as we drew). Thank you Mark for setting the scene for our stay in the region.

    The perfect introduction to Dubrovnik
    Our tour guide Marko was incredible. As a local resident and history expert, he gave us a thorough introduction to the history of Dubrovnik (aka Ragusa) as well as insight on what it’s like to live there nowadays. It was the perfect way to start our vacation and we have been able to appreciate the city much more since learning about its history. This is a must do in Dubrovnik!

    Fantastic insight into Dubrovnik history
    Guide was very friendly and well informed. We loved the light hearted quiz at the end of the tour. We learnt so much history during the tour and the guide was really interesting. The views were spectacular and there were so many photo opportunities. I can’t recommend this tour enough as it was such good vale for money. The small number of people on the tour made it extra special.

    Great personalized Dubrovnik Wall tour
    We were arriving in Dubrovnik on the Viking Sky and I wanted a smaller group tour of the Dubrovnik Wall. The communication was excellent throughout and changes (one couple dropped out and another joined us 2 days before the tour) were seamless. As for the tour itself, it was outstanding and at a cost that was $30 per person cheaper than what Viking was charging (that includes paying separately for the tour and the ticket for the wall). Our guide Marko was outstanding and volunteered to meet us at the dock and take the bus with us to the tour's starting point at the Pile Gate. We got on the wall when it opened, beating all the bigger groups and we (3 couples) and Marko had the wall to ourselves. He grew up in and still lives in Dubrovnik and made the tour personal as well as very informative. There was plenty of time for questions and pictures and he even took a picture of us on top of one of the towers with a Dubrovnik flag he brought along. The tour lasted about 2 1/2 hours. The best tours are the ones where you feel like it is being given by a friend or relative who lives there. That was this tour and our friends who were with us thought I was a travel guru for finding and booking it. If you are visiting Dubrovnik and want a tour of the walls booking this is a no brainer.

    Dubrovnik with children
    This was our third tour with Marko and once again we loved it. First two tours we did as a couple and now we came back as a family. Marko kept our children's (6 and 10) focus for 2 hours, which is not easy 😮😃 Thank you!!!

    Marko was an incredible guide, very knowledgeable about the history of Dubrovnik and it was great to hear it from a local that was born and raised in the area. His personal stories and flavor made all the difference. Very engaging and professional. Highly recommend!

Went in the tour with my friend on our first day here, just as we arrived.
Our tour guide, Marko, was able to show us so many interesting aspects of the city we wouldn't otherwise have noticed. He explained everything in as much detail so it would be informative and funny and at the same time not boring - in fact, I can remember many details better because of Markos' witty remarks. It was a really nice overview of Dubrovniks' history with some fun facts on the side!

I can recommend this tour and Marko whole-heartedly, especially at the start of your time in Dubrovnik. Thank you so much for this warm welcome!

Marko is a walking encyclopedia! He lead our group of three exclusively on a tour of Old Town with a touch of humor and a gameshow-like experience. We had already explored Old Town on our own multiple times before. Despite our familiarity, we rediscovered Old Town again with his guidance uncovering the rich history and culture. Marko is a delightful docent.

Tip: Explore Old Town on your own a day before your tour so that you can take photos and walk the wall. Then when you take the guided tour, you can actually listen to the history and experience Old Town not through the lense of a camera.

We did the Old Town Sights and History tour on our first day in Dubrovnik and it was a great way to orientate us with the city.

Jadranka was our guide and she was an excellent host and very personable. She has a great knowledge of the history of the city but was also able to bring to life what it has been like to live in the city in the past and today.

2 hours felt like a good time for the tour. There were lots of stops so it wasn’t particularly strenuous even on a hot day.

Jadranka gave advice on where else to visit and also a couple of her favourite restaurants which we followed up on and really enjoyed.

Highly recommended.

We had the most wonderful afternoon with Marina. She answered our every question and made the tour both personnel and enlightening. Marina grew up inside the walls of Dubrovnik and took us to nicks and crannies we never would have found on our own. She showed us where the locals swim, recommended a lovely wine tasting cellar that gave us flights of delicious local wines, and showed us her favorite childhood hang outs. She made seeing Dubrovnik a wonderful and fun experience. Overall, we highly recommend a tour with Marina.

Our local guide Marko took us on an interesting tour of the old town of Dubrovnik, told us the history and some less known facts about the Republic of Dubrovnik and its citizens. By all I recommend you to go on one of these tours. You will enjoy the visit even more and fall in love with Dubrovnik and its fascinating history, the people who lived here and their smart ways of maintaining the autonomy of the city for so long.

Fantastic tour with our guide Marko. We were a very small group of only 3 and Marko was excellent at answering all our questions. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his city Dubrovnik and he made the whole experience highly entertaining and informative. Marko left us with plenty of other recommendations of places to go and things to do - all of which we did and throughly enjoyed! Many thanks 🙏 😊

Marko, our guide, was very patient with us; he remembered our names immediatelly and we felt like he actually guided us a tailor made tour of Dubrovnik. He told us some stories and showed us some details around town we wouldn't have recognized by ourselves.
We really enjoyed the tour and would certainly recommend Marko as a Dubrovnik tour guide, especially because he was born in Dubrovnik and still lives here.

Marija Zadil was our guide and was so informative on the history and buildings of the Old Town. She was able to give us insight into life there as she had lived there as a child and had only recently left. Also giving recommendations for restaurants and ice cream parlours!
She made it informative and interesting as well as enjoyable

I ended up being the only one on the tour, so it ended up being a private tour. My tour guide was Marko who grew up in Dubrovnik. His knowledge of the history of the city is fascinating.

You get the sense of how proud he is to represent the city he grew up in and still lives in. If all the guides are of the caliber of Marko, you can’t go wrong.

Respectfully,

This was a fantastic guided tour and Marko is one of the best tour guides ever! I would definitely recommend a small group tour because it is so much more personal and engaging. The day we were there 6 cruise ships had docked and my heart sank at how crowded the place was but Marko being a local, navigated us through the back streets with ease. He made us exercise our brains and we learned a lot about the history of Dubrovnik in a very interesting and humorous way. 5* all the way 😊
