Why should you choose me as your guide? Firstly, multiple languages gave me that marvellous opportunity talking to different kind of people all around the world that helped me to understand my own town beyond. While talking to Spanish I see how mediterranean we actually are, with all that southern gesticulation and friendly yelling at each other. While talking to Russians, I easily recognize profound self critical humour. Some people will love to come to Dubrovnik due to crystal clear sea, others take selfies with Game of Thrones locations, sport lovers are overwhelmed with Croatian never ending sports successes, wine lovers will try Dalmatian authentic wine varieties, history buffs will go crazy with remarkable fun facts throughout the centuries, but I can promise you that - whatever your reason for coming to Dubrovnik is- you will find at least one more! It might be our lifestyle with a coffee as an unavoidable social obligation :) As for me, bunch of hobbies from pottery and salsa over piano to windsurfing; not because I am versatile renaissance woman - I just get easily bored. That would be it. Let me show you Dubrovnik the way I see it! :) - Licensed tourist guide for Dubrovnik region since 2015 - M.A. degree in Spanish and Russian Language at Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb No restrictions

Overview of your Dubrovnik tour

If you google up Dubrovnik I bet the first thing that will pop up (besides Game of Thrones) will be The Republic of Dubrovnik - undoubtedly the most famous prominent developed independent advanced part of our history, the history we are very proud of. . . . but nobody really recall from his/her own personal dairy what happened in 16th century. On the other hand, what is mentioned and remembered by almost everyone in this tiny place happened only 29 years ago and still has consequences on our daily lives. Let's talk about that a bit, shall we? :)

Anja is an excellent guide, knowledgeable and easy going. Her understanding of English is very good and we were able to fully appreciate the stories behind the war and the city of Dubrovnik. The war of 1991-1995 in Dubrovnik was presented in depth allowing us to have a good understanding of the background behind the war. Highlights of the old town were plentiful and enjoyable. This tour is much more than the normal Dubrovnik tour - if you want something different, you should thoroughly enjoy.

Excellent tour. Anja is a friendly and knowledgeable host who combines the insights of day-to-day life in Dubrovnik like only a native may, with in-depth references to Croatian history. Well worth your time. ¡Gracias, Anja! (¡Y en perfecto español!)

We really enjoyed our afternoon with Anja in and around Dubrovnik. It was fascinating to hear about the Homeland conflict and its impact on Dubrovnik, which is almost indiscernible now. Anja is a mine of knowledge about the conflict and the history of Dubrovnik from the 5th century onwards and delights in showing you hidden gems you may not see with anyone else. This is a great tour if you want to dodge the Game of Thrones theme (although Anja will share that too if you ask!) Dubrovnik at its best.

My family and I had a great time on our tour with Anja. She was engaging, knowledgeable and was able to thoughtfully answer any questions we had. As a local who has lived Dubrovnik's recent history, Anja was a great choice for our tour. We were able to learn and and see so much in our time together. We are looking forward to visiting Dubrovnik again and will absolutely avail ourselves of Anja's expertise.

Your Dubrovnik tour itinerary

This is a suggested Itinerary. - Starting from the place of your stay we'll go in a private car/van through - recently very damaged and bombed - suburbs of Dubrovnik with a few important stops where you are surely going to be shocked with sights. - Also, we'll take a look to the very border crossing (with other country) - driving onto the hill of Srđ for a *Kodak Moment*! But we will go there not only for a view. . . - we will visit Homeland War Museum - where you are going to hear war stories, see war consequences, touch weapons, smell the history. - Last but not least - going down to the real princess of Adriatic - the Old Town of Dubrovnik, so you will be able to compare Dubrovnik now and Dubrovnik then. See you here and just now I can customize the tour to fit your preferences!
