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 !!!

Dear guests, if you would like to experience the essence of Dubrovnik area and to get a bit wider view of it in couple of hours this tour is the best choice !!! Dubrovnik is not just the famous old town, but much more !!! It's closest surroundings, we locals consider part of the City as well. Would you like to see why ? Would you like to know why I have never left Dubrovnik ? How it was growing up surrounded by all that unique history and all of these handy people and sea men ? I will be honored to present you my home town! You will see irresistible attractions of Dubrovnik architects, Ombla river bay often out of the radar of many visitors, magical, medieval, sea side town of Cavtat - my favorite ! Here you can see how easily we loose sense of time while enjoying our favorite hobby - having coffee in the shade, or why for us, true locals first choice is water polo sport. Top of the Srđ hill is the best place to share my memories of 1990 s war here and for the breathtaking Dubrovnik view from above!!!
Darko was an outstanding guide. He is personable, speaks English well, and conveyed the history and culture of Croatia in a very interesting way. We saw beautiful areas around Dubrovnik and Silpat. His Mercedes van was spotless and very comfortable. We were very happy we chose Darko as our guide.
Darko has a deep knowledge of the Dubrovnik area and history and he is proud to share it with his customers. His sense of humor adds to the enjoyment of the tour.
Our group of six had a great day with Darko. Darko was flexible and patient. His knowledge about the city was amazing. We had a great lunch in a small sea side town, enjoying the view of old town from the top, enjoyed walking in old town as well as a special wine tasting Darko arranged for us. He also allowed an extension of the tour to go to the cave bar. It was truly a great day. I highly suggest reserving the private tour with Darko.
Touring with Darko was fabulous. His knowledge of the area, and of history made it all come alive. Easy to understand… easy to ask questions. Wonderful day!!!
Darko was an amazing tour guide! To begin- his communication and follow up was unparalleled. He was on top of and ahead of all communication. The breathe of his knowledge was comprehensive. Smart, fun and very nice to spend the day with. He was most responsive to our physical challenges and modified our tour accordingly. Despite the horrific traffic and pushing hoards of people, we saw and did everything we wanted to see and do and more. He was a pleasure to tour with and beyond excellent. Couldn’t have been happier. Thanks, Darko for a special day!
We had an amazing tour of Dubrovnik with Darko and couldn't recommend him more! From start to finish, he was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating historical facts and local insights that made the city come alive. His comfortable van made traveling between stops easy and enjoyable. One of the highlights of the day was our visit to Cavtat, a beautiful little town with a picturesque harbor. It was the perfect place to relax, enjoy fresh oysters, and sip delicious Croatian wine while taking in the stunning scenery. If you're looking for a friendly, professional, and informative guide in Dubrovnik, Darko is an excellent choice. Five stars all the way!
