Karmen with Withlocals.com was great on so many levels! She has a personality plus and is extremely knowledgeable about Croatia, Dubrovnik and Old Town. In addition to the tour, she gave us great restaurant recommendations, best places to shop for different things and places to avoid. I'd recommend her for any type of tour, history, culture, food and wine or Game of Thrones spots. She does it all!

Wow, what a wonderful day with Jure! He is a historian, as am I, and he did an amazing job. We had a few Game of Thrones fans in our group of 5 and he included many facts into the history tour especially for them. He was kind, funny and informative. He gave great restaurant and museum recommendations throughout the tour and made us feel very welcome to the city! Highly recommend this tour and especially with Jure!

Karmen is irrefutably one of the Best guides we have ever had in our travels. She was incredibly interesting, informative, and just so knowledgeable about everything Croatian and the surrounding area, not to mention just a really enjoyable, nice person. She adjusted the tour based on our interests. She also recommended fabulous restaurant and a wine bar for tastings. She took us to fabulous little shops that had really high-quality items. I cannot recommend Carmen enough. I can guarantee that a tour with Karmen will be a highlight of your trip!
