Hello, my name is Katija, I am a local tour guide. My family has been living in Dubrovnik since the 18th century. Dubrovnik is an amazing and beautiful place worth visiting. It is full of interesting stories and you can expect a two-hour tour full of historical details, telling you what life was like during the Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik) from the 15th to the 19th century and up to the present day. Also how I survived the 1991 war with my family in Dubrovnik.
The tour lasts 2 hours and the guide will introduce you to the customs, legends and various stories about the city from the time of the Republic of Ragusa/Dubrovnik (15th to 19th century) to the present day.
