Dobar dan! My name is Paolo and I'm a licensed tourist guide in Dubrovnik. For almost 20 years I have been sharing the passion for my country and the city I live in with travelers from around the world. Working as a tour leader for different British and American tour operators I had the chance to travel far and wide and gain the experience needed to provide an excellent service to travelers. If Croatia shows on your bucket list all I can say is don't think twice, go for it, as Croatia is an unmissable destination. Needless to say that no trip to Croatia is complete without a visit to Dubrovnik. . . and this is where I come in! I'll be very happy and proud to share my city with you so if you decide to visit my corner of the world and if you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to ask. I look forward to meeting you in Dubrovnik! Please, note that all of my tours can be customized, do not hesitate to inquire for a quote. * Licensed tourist guide for Dubrovnik region (license issued by the Croatian Ministry of Tourism) * Member of Dubrovnik Tourist Guide Association None

Overview of your Dubrovnik tour

After meeting at Pile Gate (the western city gate) we shall start our discovery of the Old Town of Dubrovnik. The tour will take us to the Walls from where you will get the chance to enjoy the best vista down on Dubrovnik's Old Town. A real feast for the eye and the photographer's lens. The Old Town is hemmed in by towering mountains and the Adriatic Sea but these natural fences were reinforced by the sturdy walls which defended and defined the city limits. The walking tour within the Walls and on the Walls will give me the chance to share the passion I have for the rich history of our city. I am a history buff and therefore I shall do my best to bring to life Dubrovnik's past. In order to restore your exploratory strength, should you decide to stay in the Old Town for lunch I shall be happy to give you a few options regarding local restaurants.

Dubrovnik is beautiful, and going around the walls, hearing about the city's history and architecture is fascinating. Paolo went out of his way to do way more than expected. He was very passionate about his city and showing us around, and being able to visit places that "were not in the original plan". He is full of energy, always happy and has good responses for our many questions. I certainly recommend booking with him if you go to Croatia. Dobar Dan to everyone and if you do not know what it means, then you most certainly have to go to Croatia!

Paolo is a smart and knowledgeable Tourguide. He is a master in storytelling which made our tour very special. He showed us his Dubrovnik, made us familiar with history, architecture as well as customs and special features of the city. We had a lot of fun, interesting discussions and finishing the tour, we left equipped with recommendations for the coming days as well as the feeling to know the city very well. We definitely can recommend Paolo.

Paolo was 10/10. Very knowledgeable and excited to tell us about the old and recent history of Dubrovnik where he grew up. He has an excellent background in the material not only from his guide training but also his life experience and past education. He was genuine and accommodating with complex questions. Lastly he was very charismatic and lively. Thank you Paolo

Paolo was beyond fabulous! He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, wise, and a lot of fun. He had so many interesting stories about the people of Croatia and Dubrovnik, so we left feeling well informed about the general history of this very special city.. The 3.5 hours we spent with him flew by. I would highly recommend Paolo!

Paolo was an amazing guide! His knowledge and passion for his city shone through. He was easy to communicate with prior to our tour day, and helped us with other info about where to eat and what to do for the remainder of our time in Dubrovnik. Highly recommend Paolo!

Your Dubrovnik tour itinerary

During the walking tour, you'll get to: • walk down the main street called Stradun • stop and take a photo or two of Onofrio's Fountain built at the very end of the medieval aqueduct which was an amazing feat of engineering given the time period. • stop in front the Franciscan Monastery and learn about its pharmacy. Did you know that it is one of the oldest in the world? • photograph and enjoy the elaborate architecture of Sponza Palace and the Rector's Palace • stop in front of St Blaise's Chruch and learn about the protector of our city. Should you decide to take a peek inside, knees and shoulders must be covered, • walk down the Jewish street with its Synagogue, • take a look at the commercial heart of medieval Dubrovnik i. e. the Old Port • walk the Walls of Dubrovnik which have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. Hat, bottle of water and comfy shoes are highly recommended! I'll be happy to customize the tour for you, please inquire for a quote.
