Hi dear guests, My name is Darko and I was born and raised in Dubrovnik where I have spent most of my life. My home town, its medieval city walls and its picturesque surroundings are something that I have always found magically enchanting. That is one of the reasons why I chose to spend the last 19 years of my life working in tourism. At the beginning I worked as a professional driver/guide, and since 2014 as a licensed tourist guide. All of these have given me the possibility to do something that fulfills me, and makes me really happy: exploring my country, presenting it to our guests, meeting new people from different parts of the world. . . But most of all I enjoy having direct contact with the guests, and creating customized tours that can suite a wide range of their wishes. If you decide to honor us with your presence in our small unique city, I will be more than happy to guide you through its amazing historical and cultural heritage and through its beautiful surroundings with adding a local flavor to your overall holiday experience.

And please keep in your mind that everything is optional so I can create a tour that suits your personal preferences. Feel free to contact me and we will make your perfect tour together !!!
