About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- K3333JXmadeleineb0 contributionsAmazing TourReally fun tour! Went around the interesting parts of Dubrovnik and told some interesting tales of Dubrovnik’s darker sides. We were in a small group of 8. Would definitely recommend.Written October 5, 2024
- Mari_24240 contributionsCancelled last minuetMy tour was cancelled on the day it was meant to happen. Since I was only in Dubrovnik for one full day this meant missing out and at short notice it put me on the spot to alter plans. I did receive a full refund and I understand it was weather related but I felt I should have been notified a lot sooner! I reached out first and questioned if the tour would still take place and it was hours after this that I got a text from a random number to let me know it was cancelled. I found this very unprofessional and would not book again. I had been looking forward to my experience so it's a shame this was the outcome.Written May 14, 2024
- Cruiser231329770750 contributionsDark Tales of the Old TownThis was a fantastic tour. Marija is an awesome storyteller who kept us enthralled right till the very end.

- 868joshg0 contributionsA fun way to learn about Dubrovnik's spooky history!We had the best experience with Marija. She shared a wealth of knowledge of Dubrovnik, and we learnt so much. Her stories were captivating and entertaining, and she was very good at creating a spooky atmosphere whilst also keeping it quite light hearted. We delved into quite a few of the smaller alleyways which were brought to life by Marija's amazing story telling. She even showed us interesting places to eat and drink along the way which we would not otherwise have discovered by ourselves. Would highly recommend this tour to learn more about Dubrovnik and for a fun spooky time.Written September 8, 2023

Lovely, friendly lady with amazing stories. The time flew past, we really enjoyed ourselves. Easy to find the starting point and we were in a group of just 9 as her max is 10 people so feels really personal. We also found that there are so few people walking around Dubrovnik at night compared to the day time so an evening tour is much more preferable. The tour is a must!Written April 15, 2023

Very intriguing tour! Marija was very enthusiastic about sharing the odd histories and stories of Dubrovnik. I left the tour wanting to conduct more research of my own. I definitely recommend booking this tour during your stay. She added unique touches that made it feel more personalized. I loved it!

Hey, guys! Sorry to respond this late, although, I must say that had I really enjoyed having the two of you as my guests, and it's still amusing to think about coincidence with prince Stanisław :) I'm also happy that I finally learned how to pronounce his name correctly or at least I hope so! Thank you both for being awesome company on our tour, feel free to come back to Dubrovnik anytime! Stay safe!

Marija is a great tour guide, with a genuine interest and passion in the more mysterious side of Dubrovnik. But this is much more than about ghosts - it's about the social history of the Dubrovnik, beyond the city walls. It's entertaining and informative and Marika is a lovely guide.

Such an fascinating way to learn the history of Dubrovnik with a spooky twist! Marija is a great story teller and has done so much research about some of the delightfully creepy places around town. The tour starts in a cemetery, covers some infamous ghosts around town, explores stories of witches and their deaths at the gallows, moves on to plague mass graves, islands cursed by monks, local folklore, and mythical creatures. There’s a little something for everyone! I loved it and recommend it to anyone who’s interested in slightly less conventional history!

Dear Aurora,
thank you so so much for this amazing review! I have to say it again, it was completely delightful to be your host and show you the city's dark places, you were an interesting company on our private tour, and you also earned a follower for your true crime podcast!
Wishing you the best!

Marija is an excellent storyteller. Coming from Dubrovnik herself, her passion for telling the story of her city is clear. Marija is currently studying the history of the Adriatic which lends unique insights into the role Dubrovnik and its citizens played in regional politics throughout history, and the unfortunate demise many of them met.
Marija is a wonderfully personable lady who is sure to leave you feeling like a part of the city‘s history - a LIVING part that is 👻

We try to book “haunted history” tours when we travel. It’s always been a fun way to engage the kids and Marija did not disappoint! She has a way of explaining the stories of Dubrovnik in a way that really keeps you interested. The walk was not too strenuous but covers a lot of ground, enabling a lovely night tour outside the city walls. The (off/on) rainy weather only added to the ambiance of the evening. Highly recommend Marija for this alternative way to explore more of this beautiful city!

I wasn't sure if I'd be able to book this tour during the January off-season, but I went ahead and booked through their website and indeed, an apparition from beyond holding a lantern approached me at the meeting point; it's worth noting that I was the only person to book a tour, and yet Marija (the guide) still decided to do it. Amazing!
How lucky I was to have an individual tour. It truly added to the intimate atmosphere and Marija clearly loves what she does and loves her city. Despite the dark subject matter, Marija is a warm and genuine person that made me feel very comfortable. Her storytelling was excellent! There were a few stops along the descent towards the Pile Gate. It was well mapped out and a logical progression.
And I can't explain it, but something quite unexpected and eerie happened during the tour. Who knows, maybe one of the spirits was lurking nearby...

Hi Jamie,
Sorry that I didn't see your question before, but the mistake you pointed was corrected long time ago. The price is the same for adults and youth.

Does this walk go along Gornji Kono and up and down some of the paths such as Grudska Ulica and Ulica Zrinska Frankopanska? My favourite little area of Dubrovnik!

Hi, Ben!
I just saw your question here, so to answer it - no, the streets that you named are not in our itinerery, we go through Donji Kono or the street Between three churches (Između tri crkve) and through other lower parts of Pile suburb.
Sorry, I didn't answer before.
Kindly,
Marija from Haunted Dubrovnik
