We thoroughly enjoyed our 1.5-hour walking tour of Dubrovnik with our guide Branco. We went on our second day of our visit and it gave us a great basis to appreciate the history and beauty of this magnificent city. Branco is extremely knowledgeable and was able to include much of his personal experiences in context with recent history. He will also keep you laughing with his keen wit and understanding of human nature. We totally recommend him.

Great tour of Dubrovnik’s old town with a wealth of historical information about the city and the country. Lots of historical and architectural sites to visit and discuss and for any GOT fans a little bit about the influence of the show on the city. The tour guide was fantastic, funny and friendly and gave great insight and recommendations about the city! Definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

We loved the tour and learned a ton. Our guide was so knowledgeable and shared his personal experiences with the war that left its mark on beautiful Dubrovnik. He gave us insights into the history of the town, made us all laugh, and recommended spots for us to visit with our free time after the tour.

Our guide Branco gave us headsets to aid in hearing him especially with background noise from other people and crowds. Worked great. Branco was a superb guide who imparted the quite fascinating and unique history of Dubrovnik with alacrity and humor, personal experiences, and with a fair sensitivity to the relatively recent war and its ongoing impacts to people and place. We came away with a strong empathy for the resilience of the Croatian people and particularly the citizens of Dubrovnik. The Old City and its massive walls is an international wonder and our tour of the town (not including the wall which we did earlier) greatly helped us to understand its people and what has driven them to succeed.

Excellent tour with enthusiastic guide, Branko who was very engaging and had good English. We could hear well using the earpieces and receivers provided despite being a reasonable sized group. Good value for money. Would recommend.

Excellent walking tour with personal accounts of the war in the 1990s which gave more depth to understanding the history of the country & old town. Glad we did this first to really know where everything was. Tour guide Branko was very funny & kept everyone engaged & asked us questions to gets us involved which I loved. If we came back I would do again as loved it soo much.
