Excellent Guide

Dale_A, May 2025

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.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you! I hope you had a good time in Dubrovnik.

Excellent tour that gives the “lay of the land.”

Lynn_S, Jul 2024

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.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you so much, I enjoyed every minute spent with you.

Wonderful Walking Tour

Janet_N, Jun 2024

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.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Dear Janet, it was my pleasure. Thank you!

Best tour guide ever!

Sheri_D, Sep 2023

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!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you for these flattering words. It was my pleasure to take you around my birthplace.

Vesna is the best. Book a tour with her. You will not regret it.

Maury_K, Sep 2023

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.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you guys! It was my pleasure to take you around.

Great walking tour guide

Susan_W, May 2023

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

Perfect tour

Britney_C, Sep 2022

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.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Thank you!

This was a pleasure

Ana_G, Sep 2022

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!

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Dear Ana, I enjoyed every second spent with you. Thank you for your interest in my birthplace.

Great welcome tour!

Tong_W, Apr 2022

What a great tour it was! Vesna is very knowledgeable with local culture and history. She showed us many important monuments of the old town and also gave us great recommendations for other activities that a family can take later on in our trip. Our kids also enjoyed the tour. It was perfectly paced and tailored for our family. Vesna also kindly prepared some small gifts for our children at the end of the tour. I highly recommend Vesna’s guide service to anyone who are interested in the history, architecture and culture of Dubrovnik.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you so much. It was my pleasure to introduce you to my birthplace. I enjoyed every minute spent with your children, they were the perfect guests.

Wonderful Introduction to Dubrovnik

Emily_R, Sep 2021

Our walking tour with Vesna was a perfect introduction to Dubrovnik! She was so kind and knowledgeable, and we learned something new about the history and culture of the city around every corner.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Thank you! It was my pleasure to take you on a City tour.

Nice Tour

CraigA, Jul 2021

The tour was really nice. It was fun to get a first hand perspective of what it is like living inside the walls in Dubrovnik and learning about things you couldn't do otherwise. I would recommend anyone do an introduction tour. She was great with children and answered each of my kids questions.

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Thank you so much. You children were great, interested and motivated, it was easy to take them around. Thank you for the great time spent with your family.

Wonderful tour!

Cheryl_M, Jun 2021

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Thank you so much. I enjoyed every minute of our tour!

Best tour guide ever!

Carla S, Oct 2019

Vesna was an amazing tour guide. She was so knowledgeable about Croatian history, the old town and the war. She lives in the old town and experienced the war first hand. She was personable and engaging. No wonder Rick Steve’s gave her the thumbs up!

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Dear Carla, thank you so much. It was my pleasure to take you on a tour and I am glad you enjoyed it.

Dubrovnik Old City Walking Tour

Raoul H, Jul 2019

Vesna was great. She grew up in and currently lives in Old City. She gave us so many insider insights into the city and its history. She did it all with a sense of humor. She was not wed to any "script," we had a lot of questions about the history as well as current events and she was able to answer them all. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2019

Dear Raoul, it was so nice to do the tour with you. Like a nice stroll around the city with good acquaintances. I appreciated all of your questions because it's nice when I find out that my guests are interested in Dubrovnik and like it.

Helane B, Dec 2017

Our guide, Vesna, was awesome. She took the time to talk to us about the area, and she really knows the city. She also allowed us to customize our tour a bit, as we wanted to see the synagogue when she mentioned its existence. I highly recommend her.
