It was an interesting tour but too long

The content of the tour was good; however, the guide gets into so much details that make it long and tiring. It is difficult to keep the focus when so much details are shared. I could see her passion for the place and the town is beautiful but the tour got us very tired by the end of it and it was because the amount of information. Katica wasn't good reading the mood of the group and also didnt stick to the timing provided, we finished well after the finish time despite of her being informed we needed to finish on time to meet some friends, so when you are travelling time is very important

Interesting history of Dubrovnik

The guide Katica gave us a very interesting tour filled with history of Dubrovnik and its complicated past. She was very engaging and informative. I would highly recommend.

good time and very interesting facts

the tour was very nice to know the downtown and the history of the city. she was amazing and very flexible with the hours, as we got stuck in the border crossing

The best way to get to know Dubrovnik!

She was amazing, explaining every bit of history and keeping it interesting. We also talked about what we can do in Dubrovnik during the stay and recommended places to visit. I don't think we could have picked a better guide!

Great guide

Katica was a very good guide. We were alone with her. We enjoyed our time with her and in Dubrovnik.

Best tour ever

Katica is such an amazing tourist guide! It was amazing that I was the only one in the tour and she still keep doing it. I’m very thankful for that. We talk about different things of Dubrovnik, but further on that, we talked about living here and in her hometown in war times, she told me many interesting things and we can have an amazing conversation exchanging ideas and feelings about war, history and different ways of living. Honestly, I deeply recommended you to take the tour with Katica, it has been the best tour experience that I had until now in Balcans. And just one thing… Her name pronunciation is “KatiSa” ????, she will appreciate if you pronounce in the right way.
