Hello dear guests! My name is Marijana, your private tourist guide in Dubrovnik. I was born in Dubrovnik in 1984, studied Aquaculture at the University of Dubrovnik and graduated in 2007. From the same University in 2014, I obtained a licence to become a tourist guide - one of the best decisions of my life! In these few years I've been a guide, I have had the pleasure to meet hundreds of people from all over the world by working for a number of tourist agencies. I find this job to be dynamic, interesting, responsible and above all fun - it is hard to even think of it as a job. It is an opportunity for me to teach my guests about our culture, history, traditions and everyday life. By choosing a private tour you get the chance to see Dubrovnik and the area around it through the eyes of a local and I have the chance to see it through yours and fall in love with it every day all over again. Believe me, Dubrovnik really has a way of making you fall in love with it! Are you interested in sightseeing, culture, history, traditions, cuisine. . . ? If so, you can choose one of my tours listed below or simply contact me and together we will tailor something that suits your needs, interests and time you have here. It would be my pleasure to be your guide! I look forward to meeting you - see you in Dubrovnik, Marijana Licensed tourist guide for Dubrovnik region since 2014 Member of Dubrovnik Tourist Guide Association B.A.degree in Aquaculture at the University of Dubrovnik For those of you coming via cruise ship, I will be waiting for you in front of the border crossing (not far from the ship;the one next to the main bus station) as only big tourist agencies are granted entrance to the harbour

Overview of your Dubrovnik tour

Have you heard the proverb "The pen is mightier than the sword"? - Dubrovnik's history is a proof of how true that is. Let me tell you about it while we roam the backstreets of the Old town, walk down Stradun, admire the Rector's Palace, and climb up the walls of Dubrovnik. The City Walls were guardians for centuries but it took much more than stone to preserve the freedom. . . . find out what it was! Get a view from a local on the Homeland war, consequences of it, the importance of tourism, what more to do and see. . . tips on where to eat, drink, shop, have coffee . . . . . . As for the coffee. . whatever you do, don't ask me for a coffee-to-go!! For locals it is either/or - either you drink coffee or you go :-) So blend in with me and enjoy your coffee!

Marijana was a pleasure to work with prior to the tour. She communicated promptly and expanded the number of persons in her typical tour to accommodate all 11 members of our family. We were confident that she would meet us at the appoiinted time. In fact, she was waiting for us at the agreed location even though we arrived early. Once the tour started, Marijana took special care to consider the extremely hot temperature and the age range of our party. Nevertheless, she pressed forward and gave us a full tour complete with interesting stories and plenty of history. -- all the while searching out shade for our party. She was truly a proud local and gave us the tour to which we were looking forward.

Marijana was wonderful! We visited Dubrovnik during a period of extreme heat, but on the day of our tour, stormy weather rolled in. Despite the challenging conditions, she remained positive, flexible, and engaging throughout the experience. We continued exploring the Old Town, learned so much about Dubrovnik's fascinating history, and even walked the City Walls. Her enthusiasm and knowledge made the tour enjoyable regardless of the weather. We highly recommend Marijana to anyone visiting Dubrovnik!

Marijana provided the most incredible tour of Dubrovnik for our family. We loved learning the rich history of this important city from its founding to today. We all came away so well informed and with much greater appreciation of the beautiful city. I would highly recommend Marijana to anyone. Thank you!

Marijana is just superb: wonderfully knowledgeable, charming humor, on-point story-telling, high energy yet respectful of the pace we wished to follow. Dubrovnik has such history and a stunning setting and our walk around the walls very memorable. We would be delighted to repeat the day but would insist on Marijana's company again.
