Everything you need to know about private guided tours in Dubrovnik with Marina.
What is a private guided tour in Dubrovnik?
A private guided tour in Dubrovnik means the tour is exclusively for you and your group — no strangers, no large crowds. Marina is your personal licensed guide, adapting the pace, language and content entirely to your interests. You get an authentic, in-depth experience of Dubrovnik's Old Town, City Walls, Jewish Quarter and more, without the stress of following a flag through a crowd.
How much does a private tour in Dubrovnik cost?
All tours are priced on request, as the final price depends on the number of guests, chosen tour, and date. Marina provides transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Contact her directly for a personalised quote — there is no obligation and no payment is required until your tour is confirmed.
How long do the tours last?
Tour durations vary by experience. The Old City Walking Tour and City Walls Tour each last approximately 2 hours. The Jewish Quarter Tour runs 2.5–3 hours due to the synagogue visit. The Old City + City Walls Combo is 3–4 hours. Tailor-made tours can be any length you need.
In which languages does Marina guide?
Marina guides in 6 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, and Croatian. She is also a professor of languages, so you can expect fluid, natural communication in whichever language you feel most comfortable in.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes, advance booking is strongly recommended, especially during the peak summer season (June–September) when Dubrovnik is very busy. Marina guides exclusively private groups, so availability is limited. Contact her as early as possible to secure your preferred date. Last-minute requests are sometimes possible — just ask via WhatsApp.
Where do the tours start?
Most tours start at Pile Square, the main entrance to Dubrovnik's Old Town, which is easily accessible by bus, taxi, or on foot. Marina will confirm the exact meeting point when you book, and she is always available by WhatsApp if you have any trouble finding her.
Is Marina a licensed tour guide in Dubrovnik?
Yes. Marina Missoni Barišić has been a licensed tourist guide since 2002 — over 20 years of experience. She was born and raised in Dubrovnik's Old Town, which gives her an unmatched depth of local knowledge. All tours comply with local regulations for licensed guides.
What is the best tour for first-time visitors to Dubrovnik?
For first-time visitors, the Old City Walking Tour is the perfect starting point — it covers the main landmarks, hidden streets and real local stories of Dubrovnik's UNESCO-listed Old Town. If you have more time, the Old City + City Walls Combo gives you the complete Dubrovnik experience in one day and is our best value option.
Can Marina create a custom itinerary for my group?
Absolutely. Marina's tailor-made tours are designed around your specific interests, schedule, and group. Whether you want a food-focused walk, a history deep-dive, a Game of Thrones location tour, or a combination of experiences, Marina will design the perfect private itinerary just for you. Contact her to discuss your ideas.
What should I wear and bring on the tour?
Comfortable walking shoes are essential — Dubrovnik's Old Town and City Walls involve uneven stone surfaces and steps. In summer, bring sunscreen, a hat, and water. Dubrovnik can be very hot from June to September. For the Jewish Quarter Tour, modest dress is recommended for the synagogue visit. Marina will send you all practical details when you confirm your booking.
