Hello! I'm Marko - your go-to guy in Dubrovnik! If you want a true local of Dubrovnik, that's me - born and raised, grew up in the Old town and still living inside the walls. I've been a professional tour guide since 2007. I got my tour guiding license as a twenty-year-old college kid studying journalism. At the time, I was the youngest member of the Tour guides' association of Dubrovnik. Over the past fifteen years I've given more tours than I can remember, having led walking tours, half-day trips as well as shore excursions from cruise lines such as Viking Cruises and Celebrity. If you want an insider who really knows Dubrovnik, feel free to reach out to me! I will show you the main sights, tell you about the history and most importantly, try to make you feel like a local by showing you places where I'd go myself. . . Check out the tours I offer and remember, all those can be fully customized according to your own preferences and whatever things you're interested in and passionate about! See you in Dubrovnik! Official tour guiding licence issued by the Croatian Ministry of tourism. None whatsoever.

Your private tour begins at Pile gate, the main entrance to the Old Town. We'll then lose ourselves in the maze of little alleys and you'll hear cool stories about the oldest graffiti dating back to 1597, the often violent game of football that was played in the 16th century or the secret affairs between nuns and friars! Did you know about that? You'll walk through the hidden passages between blocks of houses of the oldest part of the Old town, through people's backyards. We'll visit the Dead bell square - why is it called that, I wonder. . . We'll see the hidden symbol of Ottoman supremacy and also the place where a dragon and a winged lion prey on Dubrovnik's liberty! Not just that, I will tell you stories about medieval crime and punishment and how the popular monument in the center of the city was once used as a pillory and the main street itself as the place for the ceremonial "ride of shame" on a donkey. . .
* Meet at the agreed upon location - I can meet you at your hotel or the place that's most convenient.
