Viktor is an excellent guide who grew up in Dubrovnik. He knows the local area and history extremely well. He is able to answer almost all questions you may have and makes for a very fun and entertaining tour
Excellent experience. Judas was perfect.. Empathetic, exhaustive, even moving in describing the 90s. Despite the public holiday, the marathon and the crowds, he was able to get us to the heart of beautiful Dubrovnik
We had Vlaho as a local guide and he was just fantastic. His knowledge was excellent both on current Dubrovnik and also the wonderful history leading up to the present day. He made the city come even more alive with his stories and pointed out things that everyone just walks past. You can tell he really enjoys what he does and I'd fully recommend.
In this wonderful city of Dubrovnik, world heritage of the UNESCO, you need a guide to enjoy the city to the most, and go deep in its superb history and culture. I highly recommend Vlaho as a guide. I was amazed by his knowledge and his amusing explanation. It was 2,5 hours and time absolutely flew! And we learned so much! He also gave us a few recommendations for unique bars and restaurants. Highly recommended!
