This 1.5-hour guided walking tour takes you deep into the city’s 1, 400-year history, recalling ancient tales when Dubrovnik was one of the world’s most prosperous port cites. It tells tales of war and lets the tour-goer in on the culture of the city.

Branko was Ana amazing guide. He was funny, energetic and incredibly knowledgeable. More impressively his personal story was so touching and moving about his experience during the Yugoslavian War as a child. For our children to hear about the experiences of another country at war as we discuss...

More impressively his personal story was so touching and moving about his experience during the Yugoslavian War as a child. For our children to hear about the experiences of another country at war as we discuss the Ukraine War with them brought it all home. Truly an awesome young man and great guide!1MD

Good way to learn about the old town. Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide who shared some deep personal perspectives especially about the war in the 90’s.
