Excellent experience, would have been happy to go again - CJB from the USA. Ružica “‘Rosy" is a perfect blend of knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. We did a variation of the private walking tour. I am a researcher and university academic with very broad interests, and she was able to answer all my questions. At the same time we also had a very pleasant walk together packed with fascinating places and information. Ružica will do her best to take into account your interests (plus what she senses you will enjoy), and she will be sure to inform you about the cost. She has deep experience and knowledge about places and history and the people in Croatia today--and also about neighboring countries. She knows the island lifestyle and Dubrovnik and art history and food culture and much more. It also impressed me that she is so respectful of people from all cultures and lifestyles. I can't think of a better way to enjoy the island than a guided stroll with Rosy. She is a delightful person and I recommend her very highly!
