About this activity

At the very start of the 20th century the Balkan Peninsula was perceived as 'the restless corner of Europe'. Many who endeavor to explain what was actually going on feel that the deep, underlying reasons were not easy to understand.

The historical background will help you to see how recent conflicts have laid their roots in the past. Find out some of the misconceptions people had about the recent war, what it was like to live in a besieged town, and how everything returned back to normal. First-person accounts by your guide, stories from the ancient and modern history of the region, all in the spectacular setting of the Old Town, will give you a deeper insight into the true nature of Dubrovnik and its people.

Ivana our tour guide is a sweet heart!!! We loved the tour and how she delivered it. We have done many tours thought Europe and although this is just an one hour tour, it was one of the best tours we have done. Ivana's excellent control of English language and her personal connection to the War in her own country made this tour extremely emotional for us. Ivana, we thank you for the beautiful tour and wish you all the best for your future. Ana and Ewan Fisk

This short tour of about one hour gives the opportunity to understand the Balkan war as well as what happened in Dubrovnik during this period. Our guide Ivana was absolutely perfect. Just do it!

Was a good tour, but very difficult due to the downpour of rain and wind. The guide was very kind and went and sought an umbrella for me. She was authentic and genuine, but we lost out due to the conditions.

Good tour. Our guide was quite young when the war happened but was able to give us a personal perspective.

Very interesting and unique way to learn more about this time period in Dubrovnik's history. Our tour guide showed us the few places of remaining scars from the war and walked us through what it was like to live in the city during it. Would also recommend going to check out War Photo Limited after this tour.
