What you'll do
*In this tour I will respect WHO's safety measures regarding Covid-19 with a small group of participants, providing a hand sanitizer and keeping an adequate distance.*
We'll take a walk through Dubrovnik's history while re-living its most glorious, as well as it's darkest times.
The tour starts at Pile gate where we'll emerge into this millennia-long story, starting with the arrival of the very first inhabitants. From their humble beginnings to the making of the City walls, you'll get a full understanding of the birth of Dubrovnik through chronological stories!
In the Old town itself, we'll get to know the great Republic of Ragusa, medieval Dubrovnik, up-close and personal. We're going to get into the most important aspects of its medieval past - religious, political and public - speaking of subjects such as: social awareness of the Government, natural disasters, progressive decisions, inventions and Ragusa's substantial downfall thanks to Napoleon himself!
Not to dwell too much in the past, we'll also talk about the present - from the Yugoslavian war in 1991, to the local life today in the Old town, in Dubrovnik and in Croatia, too. My stories and your questions will paint a picture of a highly advanced, medieval city-state that can still be found in the modern streets we walk on. Luckily, we'll know just where to find it :)

My name is Tanja. I'm a 30-year-old published writer of three books, licensed tour guide, manufacturer of medieval replicas, and a chatty foodie in constant pursuit of magic no matter it's form - books, travels or people. I'm very much looking forward to meeting you and share stories!

Tanja is such a lovely person and we were lucky to have her for a private tour where we could ask lots of questions . It was great learning about the history (both recent and ancient) of Dubrovnik. Her personal stories helped create pictures that we will retain forever. At the end she asked us if we needed any recommendations for the city and I asked her for a Peka lunch recommendation and she booked it for us and it was sooo good. Highly recommend doing a tour with her, we loved it.

It was especially wonderful because of Tanja's passion and love for the city's history. We were completely engaged from beginning to end. Highly recommend at the onset of travel so one can tweek one's itinerary better based what one learns about the city and the background information makes you appreciate things that you see that much more.
