Today, Dubrovnik is one of the safest cities in the world. However, the historical archives of Dubrovnik hide many records of criminal cases from the past that we would like to share with you. This tour is entirely different than any other historic walking tour in the city because it speaks of another side of the history. It speaks of the people from the edge of society. It covers the number of stories about murders, conspiracies, usage of poisons, prostitutes and scandals, spies, witch trials and other devious things. It also discusses criminal justice which was more imaginative than in modern times. Executions, tortures, body mutilations, these are examples of typical punishments in cruel medieval times. Join us to learn so much more on our Crime and Punishment in old Dubrovnik tour.

Marija was an excellent guide who provided a unique and engaging tour of an underexplored aspect of Dubrovnik's history. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and heard many stories of the Dubronik's complex past that we otherwise would never have learned. Marija's insightful perspective allowed us to better understand how crime and punishment shaped Dubrovnik into what it is today while also delivering exciting tales of the past.

I was lucky enough to be able to catch this tour when I visited Dubrovnik for the afternoon and evening yesterday. It was wonderful. Marija was so knowledgeable and provided a fascinating history of the crime and punishment used in the City throughout its history. She really brought home how barbaric the torture had been of suspected criminals and the punishments they endured as a result. She was able to tailor the tour to my specific areas of interests and I had a wonderful evening. I’ll be back for the ghost tour next time I’m in Dubrovnik.

Such a great tour about the crime and punishment in Dubrovnik as well as lots of other interesting facts about the history of old town. We ended up being the only two booked so we basically got a private tour! We learnt so much that we never would've known otherwise and got to hear of a darker side of old town for our last night. Marija is such a lovely person who knows so much about the history of the city and is a very engaging story teller. We can't wait to come back to Dubrovnik one day and go on her other tours!
