“Fantastic tour!”
Darko was so patient and knowledgeable. He really knew the history of Dubrovnik. We got to see and do so much. We walked the city wall, toured the town and took a cable car ride. I had been to Dubrovnik a couple of times but still learned many things. My mother was with us and he was so thoughtful and compassionate towards her. I would highly recommend him to any group.
