I really enjoyed my tour. Pavo was flexible allowing me a selection on what to see. I had a tour in the morning so he worked with me on what to see in the afternoon with him. He carried my jacket and lunch throughout the walking tour! He was easy to understand and explained well the history and events. Pavo was very nice and also answered well my many questions.
Wow, what a wonderful tour all made possible by Vlaho! The day of was raining and he was able to customize our tour to replace the cable car. We loved the visit to the Franciscan Monastery, especially the pharmacy where you can buy ancient lotion formulations. Ladies if you know you know, I boight antired for under the eyes, works like a dream! Vlaho's background and experience make him the ideal guide, he has lived the history as a local Dubrovnik! Sharing about the wartime, showing us the holes in the walls, you have a deeper understanding of what happened during that time. He takes you from ancient Roman time, Ottoman and beyond. It was fascinating! The best part is that he took us to local shops where they make products here in Dubrovnik. I wanted to take back authentic goodies and wow Note Bene was my favorite. They make the best sugared orange peel treats, dog goodies, fig sausage, creamy honey, delicious nuts and olive oil. Great shop! Thank you Vlaho for making our trip so special. We had such a great time with you! PS He is a miracle worker with little kids, he kept my niece engaged by the end she was a big fan pf Vlaho too!!! See you again!!!

I'm glad you enjoyed the tour and I'm looking forward to seeing you again in Dubrovnik. Wishing you the very best, Vlaho
We truly enjoyed this tour, Vlaho was an excellent guide. You receive the perspective of a local that has lived through very important times for Croatia. We highly recommend this tour
What an experience. We were truly immersed into the history and culture of the beautiful city. Our tour guide was caring, knowledgeable, and truly put his heart and soul into the tour. Thank you!
