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 designed to cover the locations from the popular TV series "The Game of Thrones", which are situated around the Old Town of Dubrovnik and the island of Lokrum (aka King's Landing + Qarth tour) . And I am the right guide for the job - a true GOT fan and the author of the best selling tour in period 2013-2019! We will first cover the familiar filming points in the capital of Westeros, located in the Old Town of Dubrovnik and its near vicinity. After that, we will embark on an exciting journey across the Narrow Sea that will take us to the "Greatest City There Was or Will Be", the magical town of Qarth (which is actually only 15 minutes away from Dubrovnik :-)). Once we're done exploring the island of Lokrum, the tour will end by claiming your rightful position as the King/Queen of the Seven Kingdoms as I'll do my best to sit you on the Iron Throne!
Suggested itinerary of Dubrovnik+Lokrum island tour (duration: 3 hours) - feel free to ask for a customized tour. - meeting at the Pile Gate (or other location within the Old Town of Dubrovnik) - walking tour around the GoT sites around the Old Town of Dubrovnik - catching the local boat line for Lokrum island - arrival to Lokrum island, tour around the locations around the island - end of the tour, followed by free time **The tour will also include the information on the historic significance of the points in the Old Town of Dubrovnik and Lokrum island (we have been Dubrovnik for some 1300 years before becoming King's Landing ;) ***Make sure to bring your swimwear with you as the tour is going to end on Lokrum island so you can enjoy your free time by swimming, sunbathing or just enjoying the drink by the salt water lake. The pine fringed Lokrum island provides the perfect getaway from the hustle bustle of Dubrovnik's Old Town.

All the mentioned locations are in the pedestrian zone so this would be a walking tour.
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)
