Hello, my name is Tomislav, or Tom for friends. Apart from being a licensed tourist guide for Dubrovnik region from 2007 and a lecturer in History of Dubrovnik class at local university, I am also a well-travelled person that has always enjoyed experiencing new exciting destinations, their history and local traditions. Since travelling is one of my passions, I have always had high respect for local advice and an 'insider insight' in local history, culture and traditions as an indispensable ingredient of a great holiday which enables the traveller to get the real feel of the destination; this was also one of the reasons why I decided to become a professional tourist guide. Although I'm featured on ToursByLocals only from 2013, I was able to make it to the list of TOP 10 busiest every year. In 2014 & 2015 I earned the title of the BUSIEST TOUR GUIDE, out of 1930 guides from 156 countries present on ToursByLocals. I am also the only guide from Dubrovnik and Croatia that ever made it to that list. I was born 45 years ago in Dubrovnik, a town in which I have spent most of my life, but which never ceases to amaze me. It is clear why the tourists, especially the first time visitors, become so enchanted with this medieval walled city; however most of them are unfortunately prone to overlook some of its most interesting and astonishing details. My aim is to provide the visitors with an intimate experience of Dubrovnik so they can truly understand and appreciate Dubrovnik's rich cocktail of history, architecture, art and exquisite Mediterranean cuisine. My tours are generally conducted in an informal and laid back manner as I learned that the best way to feel the destination is to simply have fun while exploring. In case you have already visited Dubrovnik or you have a bit more time at your disposal, I would suggest venturing further in Dubrovnik surroundings. There are diverse possibilities for half day and full day trips in the near vicinity of Dubrovnik and I will be happy to assist you in compiling a perfect tailor-made itinerary. IMPORTANT: I may still be available even on days marked UNAVAILABLE depending on your preferred timing for the tour. Therefore, it is best to contact me and check my availability directly. - Licensed Tourist Guide for Dubrovnik region from 2007 - member of Dubrovnik Tourist Guide Association - B.A. degree in Foreign Trade at University of Split - M.A. degree in International Relations & Diplomacy at Dubrovnik International University - part-time lecturer at DIU university (specialized in History of Dubrovnik & the Balkans) - certified sommelier - genuine Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire fan No restrictions

This tour is a perfect combination of rich history and magnificent nature of the Old Town of Dubrovnik and the exotic island in its vicinity, the island of Lokrum. This is the island where I spend almost every weekend in my childhood and it is still a place where I often go with my wife and daughter for some tranquility and relaxation. After seeing the historic sites of the 1400-year-old Dubrovnik we will take a regular boat line from Old Town port to Lokrum. This charming island is ideal way to spend your afternoon away from the crowds. Lokrum island has plenty of interesting points that you can explore (Botanical gardens, ruins of Benedictine Monastery and Hapsburg castle, fortress from Napoleonic wars that offers magnificent panoramic views from the highest peak on the island. . . ) and enjoy some beach time. You can either do some cliff diving from the southern part of the island or just enjoy a drink by the salt water lake watching the lazy peacocks as they prance around.
Possible itinerary - please feel free to ask for a customized tour. - meeting at Pile Gate (or some other location in the vicinity of the Old Town) - tour around the Old Town of Dubrovnik - catching the boat for Lokrum island - tour around the island - end of the tour followed by free time for lunch and beach activities
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
The Old Town of Dubrovnik as well as the Lokrum island are pedestrian zones so this tour will be a walking tour. In case you require transportation, please contact me for the new quotation.
Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia
Our standard meeting point for the tour is the Pile Gate (western entrance to the Old Town of Dubrovnik) or some other location at the Old Town or in near vicinity (please advise where you will be staying so I can suggest the most suitable meeting point for the tour). If the Pile Gate is the nearest option, I will be waiting near the tree on the right hand side just before the Pile Gate bridge that leads to the Old Town of Dubrovnik (near the Dubravka ice cream shop)
