Great tour! - Highly suggest this tour! Marko (a true Old Town Dubrovnik local, having lived within the walls his whole life) was personable, knowledgeable, and engaging. Great balance of history, views, and cardio!

Plan ahead and reserve a walking tour with Marko when visiting the Old City Walls - Marko makes the tour. Our local tour guide— who was born and raised within the old city walls and lives there to this day— was outstanding. His knowledge of the old city, history of Dubrovnik over the centuries, and grasp of the geopolitics was extremely helpful in understanding this gem of a city a bit better. His English is excellent and his humor dry and refreshing. He enjoys a bit of “friendly competition” as he puts it on his tours, quizzing us about various facts as we went along (multiple choice style when we were stumped). He had been recommended to us by friends who had taken his tour the week prior and we were as delighted as they had been by his guided tour of the Old City walls. 5 stars.

Excellent overview of Old Town Dubrovnik - We did a private City Walls of Dubrovnik tour. Lucy was a great guide-she grew up in old town Dubrovnik and not only shared the very interesting history of the city but also shared personal stories from her family and experiences about life in Dubrovnik. She also gave us fantastic local recommendations. Our family greatly enjoyed the tour—highly recommended.

Walking tour - would definitely recommend! - Marco was our guide and we cannot fault him. It was a fabulous tour, perfect balance of informing of us about the history of the city and the walls, and also having some fun! He also gave us some great recommendations for places to visit, restaurants to visit and we thoroughly enjoyed them. Many thanks for your hospitality :) I would genuinely say this tour is worth doing and I’d recommend this company - our guide was local born and bred, and had knowledge and experience.

A fabulous day on the city walls - What a wonderful tour! Our guide, Marko was fabulous — so knowledgeable and friendly. Be made it fun and interesting for both my 16-year-old and my 9-year-old. And since he grew up in, and still lives in, the old town, he was able to share childhood stories along with stories from the town’s Medieval history. My whole family loved the experience. I can’t recommend the tour highly enough!
