This city is absolutely lovely with so much history. Warning it does have lots of tourism. Our tour guide., Vlaho, was passionate and deeply knowledgeable about the entire area and its history. His pace was spot on for our older group, and he worked very hard to keep us in the shade on an extremely hot day. Truly love everything about the city and how it was presented to us by the guide. definitely one of the most lovely spots of our entire cruise .
Loved this tour! Paolo shared so much history about the Old City and the country. Highly recommend!!
Vlaho was simply amazing. As a true local who lives in the Old Townhe had insight that 99% of other guides would not have. He was funny, engaging, and extremely smart. Very highly recommended.
Absolutely lovely and informative tour. Tour guide extremely knowledgeable and very humble considering the war. Very proud man and would recommend him to all
Dear Maria, Thank you so much for the rewarding review! I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure spending time with you and your husband. I wish you all the best in life! Vlaho
We took this tour on our first day which was ideal to get oriented. Antun was full of information with great history for the city. 2.5 hours was just the right amount of time and he made great recommendations for how to spend our time over the following days.
Dear Caroline, Thank you for the outstanding review! I'm glad that you enjoyed the tour with Antun in the old city. Have an enjoyable time. Wishing you all the best, Vlaho
Our guide was very thorough and easy to understand. He provided a great bit of detail of the city’s history and weaved it seamlessly into our walk. He answered questions with a clear deep understanding. The guide walked us through a story with intent instead of just reciting facts on our journey through the city. Highly recommended to all interested in learning about Dubrovnik’s past.

Our guide was very informative. Dubrovnik is a must visit place. A good guide is essential to understand the layers of history.
“If you’re looking for a guide who knows Dubrovnik inside and out, book with Vahlo! He took us to hidden corners of the city that we never would have found on our own, and his explanations were clear, fun, and insightful. The pace was perfect for our group, and he always made sure everyone was comfortable. You can tell he loves his city, and his passion shines through. Highly recommend!”
Vlaho was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Nice walking around the town with a local.
⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic tour! Learned so much history, loved the shops, and really appreciated the great food recommendations
