I’m Dorotea, a self-employed local guide in Dubrovnik, and I personally lead every tour. I take small groups of up to 6 guests on intimate walks through the Old Town, sharing local stories, legends, and historical insights that only a local can tell.

This is more than a typical sightseeing tour – it’s a personal experience where you’ll feel connected to Dubrovnik’s history, culture, and architecture. I guide every step, ensuring a relaxed, enjoyable, and authentic journey through this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
