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

During the tour you will be able to see the locations which were used as the settings in the Seasons 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 of The Game of Thrones (Old Town of Dubrovnik, Trsteno Arboretum & Lokrum island). All the filming points that you're going to see during the tour have an interesting historical background: Dubrovnik is founded in 7th century and most of these locations used in the show are cultural and historic monuments. And it will be my pleasure to point them out. Therefore, both camps should be happy, GOT fans will learn something about the city, non-fans will be equally entertained and will most likely gain interest in the show while exploring one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe and its immediate surroundings. And I will be truly satisfied as I facilitated a unique way for both GOT fans and history buffs, as I am, to fall in love in my hometown!
Possible itinerary - please feel free to ask for a customized tour: - pick up at the most convenient location near your accommodation - drive to the Trsteno Arboretum, tour around the Arboretum - return to the Old Town of Dubrovnik - walking tour around the Old Town filming points - catching the boat for Lokrum island - tour around the Lokrum island filming points - end of tour, followed by the free time on Lokrum island ***The order of visits depends on your preferences and the working hours of attractions.

The transportation to the Mt of St Serge and Trsteno Arboretum will be arranged by the tour guide's personal vehicle that fits 4 persons + the driver. The optimal number of people is 3, but the car can fit 4+the driver. In case you prefer more legroom or your group is a bit bigger, more suitable vehicle can be arranged for additional price. The Lokrum island will be visited by the regular boat line which runs from the Old Town of Dubrovnik.
Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia
