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. I am sure that with my assistance you will know why we, the Dubrovnik locals, are so amazed with our small city, all achievements of our ancestors, who have once created such an amazing city tailored to suit a mankind. So if you are interested in spending just a few hours, a whole day time or even a few days to explore Dubrovnik area or neighboring countries and their history, tradition, cuisine in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, you might consider some of the tours I have created for you. 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 !!!
