We are 6 Canadian women heading May 19th to Dubrovnik for 4+ days, prior to a week cruise up the coast from Dubrovnik to Split; then finishing trip with 4+ days in Llubljana - some day tripping included from both cities.
Would like advice on best city walking tours to book in both cities, as well as best guides to contact perhaps for a private tour. Thank you!
Recommendations of a few restaurants in both cities would also be appreciated!
P.S. Recommendation of a contact for a private transfer from Llubljana to Zagreb airport when we leave?

I may be Cinderella (late to the ball) but wanted to let you know our foursome just yesterday had a great walking tour with Pera Ugarkovikc. He responds quickly to emails, at [email protected]. he is knowledgeable, has a good sense of humor, seems to know everyone in town, and the grilled fish place he recommended was delish and filled with local families.

Did either of these companies have websites? What did they cost?

The one i listed, no.
Another really, really excellent guide company in the region is Dijana Krkotic, Doclea Travel, +382 69 277 749 (whatsapp), [email protected], www.docleatravel.com. She sets up well coordinated and planed trips to Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro. I used her a few times, the last time a week ago. Search the forum for a number of good references on her.

Nera does have a linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nera-pavlovic-b2186873/ She is a very good guide for Dubrovnik. For larger projects involving trips around the region, hotels, transportation, etc. (just planning or turn key tours) I think Dijana is impossible to beat.

Thank you local.du cause the mission of the forum is to spread info. In 3 trips totaling 9 days i never had a great meal in Dubrovnik, so if someone knows of a place, spill it!. We'll i did find a place with pretty fair Bosnian Cevapi.

I also recommend Nera Pavlovic. +385 98 183 4365 on whatsapp. She's engaging, knows history from the slavs to present, shared her personal experience of living through the war, and continues to research aspects of the city she is a wonderful, responsive, engaging, and a compelling voice for her city.

If you will be in Llubijana on a Friday, be sure to go to the Open Kitchen near the market for dinner.
