My family has lived in Dubrovnik for hundreds of years and played roles in some of the key moments of its history. We still have a house inside of the City walls, where I grew up, and own the last active family chapel in the Old Town.
For 450 years Dubrovnik was one of the Mediterranean’s biggest hubs of trade, diplomacy, and espionage right on the border of the Western and Eastern worlds. The City was the capital of the Republic of Ragusa, whose culture and language are the basis of Croatian culture of today. It is one of the world’s most beautiful cities, and every corner of it holds a beautiful story.
A lot of those stories I didn’t learn from books, but they were passed down generations of my family or lived through.
I do not have a set script and my tours are personalized to my guests’ individual interests. Everyone I’ve guided, from historians to teenagers, have found something to relate and connect to which made their stay in Dubrovnik memorable. I’ve guided travellers that came through the world’s top agencies, and have also guided those agencies’ owners in Dubrovnik.
My family had the pleasure of spending two days with an exceptional guide, Vid K, in Dubrovnik on our recent trip Croatia. Vid’s depth of knowledge about the city and country’s history, culture and hidden gems was impressive.Â
He shared this with us in a way that was both engaging and easy to follow. He did not just recite facts, however, brought the city to life with stories and insights. Vid was also very warm, personable, and attentive, making sure everyone in our group felt included and had a great experience.
We would highly recommend Vid as someone who is knowledgeable and enjoyable to spend time with, it will certainly enhance your time spent in Croatia in the best possible way.
