What sets this tour apart is the personal, local touch. As a licensed guide born and raised in Dubrovnik, I don’t just share historical facts — I tell the real stories, legends, and secrets passed down through generations. From the bustling Stradun to hidden corners only locals know, I’ll make sure you experience the heart and soul of Dubrovnik — not just its sights.
We'll begin our tour at Brsalje, right outside the historic city walls. After a short introduction and meeting the group, I’ll give you an engaging overview of Dubrovnik’s rich and fascinating history — including the story of the Dubrovnik Republic, a small but powerful city-state known for its diplomacy and impressive fortifications.
At Pile Gate, the main entrance to Dubrovnik’s Old Town, we’ll pause to admire the impressive city walls and the stone bridge once protected by a drawbridge. This historic gateway has welcomed travelers for centuries and leads us into the heart of the medieval city. I’ll share stories about how the Republic protected its freedom and the symbolism behind the statue of St. Blaise above the gate.
As we walk along Stradun, Dubrovnik’s main street, we’ll explore the city’s most significant buildings and landmarks. This marble-paved promenade is the heart of local life, both past and present. Here, you’ll hear some of the most captivating stories from Dubrovnik’s history — from great fires and earthquakes to everyday life in the time of the Republic.
