Incredible history and breathtaking views of Dubrovnik and the harbor. The kids were prompted with interesting questions, stayed engaged and learned a lot; the adults enjoyed the history of the city, its defense systems and political influence on the region. Could not have asked for a better tour guide.
Mia is an excellent tour guide. We were a family of 6 adults :) the tour went around the city walls with all the explanations and recommendations. Mia speaks perfect English. We had a very good time.
Wow. Mia was amazing. Kept in touch with us leading up to the event and even was very helpful. It changes the times when we were looking to make it earlier. The tour was amazing. She showed us so much of everything around the walls and was very patient with us while we were on the wall, asking questions, I would recommend this tour to everyone. It was so much better doing this private tour. Some of the large groups couldn’t even hear their tour guide speaking. Mia was a pleasure and so knowledgeable of the area.
Vlaho impressed us so much with his knowledge of Dubrovnik & its history. Very personable & spoke very clear English. His pride in his country was so evident which made him even more likable. Highly recommend!
What a beautiful city. Our guide, Mia, was so knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great experience. Highly recommend.
Our guide, Tea, was amazing! Very knowledgeable about the history of Dubrovnik as well as personal stories of her family’s experience. She even saved a pigeon that was in trouble at the end of our tour. We loved the tour and her as our guide
Viktor, our tour guide, was absolutely wonderful! His passion for his country’s history made this tour memorable. He was knowledgeable, personable and told us many personal family stories which added a whole other dimension to the tour. So glad we did this tour!
If you like to have a perfectly English speaking guide and and a lot's of interesting information then Vlaho is your tour guide. We had very interesting and personalized private tour around old city and walls. Very strongly suggest My Dubrovnik Tours and Vlaho.
Paolo was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable about the city’s history, the history of the region, what current life is like in the old city, and the world events impacting the community, both past and present. He spoke perfect English and was wonderful about taking photos along the way. I would highly recommend Paolo as your guide and also this tour. It was well worth every penny!
Dear Kamelia, Thank you for marking Paolo as a perfect guide! It's great to hear that you had a great time on a day when the weather was bad! Wishing you the best in life! Vlaho
Vhalo was extremely knowledgeable and shared so many stories and history about Dubrovnik. One of the best city tours we’ve ever done. Highly recommend!
Dear Amy, What can I say to such a rewared review but a BIG thank you! It's always great satisfaction to know the people were content! Have the best in life and I hope to see you again in Dubrovnik in the future! Vlaho
