Welcome to Dubrovnik Walking Tour
Description
Stroll the best-preserved medieval fortified city in the world with a local, born in the very heart of it. Get introduced to the major city sights, evoke the glorious past times of the Republic of Dubrovnik and, at the same time, experience the real heartbeat of less than 1000 locals that still live within the City Walls. This small place, known for its diplomacy, commerce and shipbuilding, was a well-organized city. Almost every aspect of the social life was regulated already in the 14th c. Water supplying and sewage system, health service and garbage disposal service were organized and regulated. At the same time, peek into the hidden corners, in narrow and steep streets, where you will discover a real life of a small community that still lives in the UNESCO site in ancient homes, struggling with stairs and crowds, coping with strict conserving regulations and demands of tourism, balancing between the history and modern life. The tour can be extended for a walk over the City Walls.

Vesna was an excellent guide for us. She provided clear and concise descriptions of Croatia's history without sidetracking into unimportant trivia. Her knowledge was diverse and she provided some humor along the way. She also gave us recommendations on what highlights to see in Old Town and some side trips to take in Dubrovnik.
Thank you! I hope you had a good time in Dubrovnik.
Vesna was knowledgeable about the history of Dubrovnik and shared her perspectives as a resident of the Old Town. She painted a picture of the benefits and challenges of living in the Old Town. She gave us some suggestions for stores and restaurants when we asked. Vesna was a fun guide and she was a great communicator leading up to the tour.
Thank you so much, I enjoyed every minute spent with you.
We enjoyed a 2 hour tour with a local guide Vesna, who had extensive local knowledge and brought the history of Dubrovnik to life. We would recommend this tour with Vesna, who also recommended other attractions to visit during our stay.
Dear Janet, it was my pleasure. Thank you!
Wow! The best tour guide ever! Vesna has a deep, personal connection with Dubrovnik and has a very humorous way of communicating those experiences. She made the city come alive in a way that only someone who has lived there can do. We can’t recommend her highly enough!
Thank you for these flattering words. It was my pleasure to take you around my birthplace.
Vesna is fantastic. She is knowledgeable and is a real local who grew up in the city and still lives there today. She was communicative in advance, friendly, and engaged on all our questions. Highly recommend her as a guide.
Thank you guys! It was my pleasure to take you around.

Thank you so much! It was a privilege to meet such nice people like you.
We did a 2-hour tour of Old Town with Vesna as the first part of our trip to Dubrovnik. This was the perfect way to be introduced to the city and learn about the rich history. Vesna was very personable and knowledgable, we had a great experience! She also provided us with wonderful recommendations for the rest of our trip! Highly recommend booking a tour with Vesna while in Dubrovnik!
Thank you! I had a great time with you, also.
What a great tour guide! We learned so much on our first official tour in Dubrovnik. Amazing history and our guide relayed it just at the right pace
Thank you for your interest and enthusiasm. It was my pleasure!
Loved seeing the basketball court view and hearing from local. Vesna was amazing and gave us multiple tips around city as well as made tour interesting and fun.
Thank you!
Vesna was very knowledgeable and funny. She provided us with a unique walking tour off the beaten path, filled with lots of interesting historical facts and personal stories (she is one of the few locals left who was raised, and continues to reside, in the Old City in Dubrovnik). The tour started right on time and lasted for a little over 2 hours. As a local, Vesna also gave us some great recommendations for traditional Croatian restaurants frequented by locals — thus far, they’ve hit the mark. Highly recommend this tour!
Dear Ana, I enjoyed every second spent with you. Thank you for your interest in my birthplace.
