Not as we expected just stories nothing scary the guide was good but nothing scary she had black clothes on and a lamp
Great informative and fun guide who educated and entertained. Learned so much with wonderful story telling of local legends and history from lots of locations. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting the city.
This was a very spooky and fun tour. Great for any age and full of interesting lore from the area. You can tell the guide is extremely passionate about her city and the wonderful tales that come along with it. 10/10 definitely do not miss this.
Wow what a great tour! Marija is a fantastic storyteller and it’s so much fun to learn history through the layers of rumors, scandals, hauntings and more! Bonus: the tour is in the evening, when there are wayyyyy fewer tourists taking tours, so it’s a more relaxing time to move through the town. Marija was happy to answer questions and had a great sense of humor as she told us the stories of this beautiful old town. Highly recommend!
This was such a fun and engaging way to see and learn more about Dubrovnik. Our guide was absolutely lovely, warm, and welcoming to everyone in our small group. Even my two teens who can be challenging to engage when it comes to history were both attentive throughout the entire tour. When I asked them what they thought at the end they both said they loved it. So all around a delightful evening and more than worth the cost of the tour! Highly recommend for all ages.
Marjia was the best guide. She took us through interesting parts of the cities we would’ve never gone otherwise. She was a great storyteller, and even remembered everyone’s names on the tour which I just thought was such a sweet touch by her. Such an incredible way to learn about a city. 10/10 would recommend!
This is such a cute and fun tour. I’m very into ghosts and history and stories, and this was a perfect combination of all of that. The guide was also fantastic, knowledgeable, and funny. If you’re looking for a great time and a nighttime walk around the city, this is the perfect tour.
Guide very nice and it’s nice to support a local Croatian small business. I took both tours - this was more of a ghost tour as it started in the cemetery and we walked around the area outside the walls. To my knowledge this is the only walking tour outside the walls. We had some good stories and it was a nice walk. It’s way too hot to walk around during the day so it is better to go at night anyway. I have been on ghost tours in many cities and this was one of the creepiest. She also shows up dressed for the show with a lantern and all in black
Marija is a great tour host and very knowledgeable. I loved all of her stories and she it was one of the highlights of my trip!
This was a tour of a different nature. Maria was a wonderful host and despite traffic noise she was able to tell her stories. Very entertaining
