Dubrovnik Stories
a local premium agency for authentic experiences
What We Offer
Our Philosophy
This is not another tourist agency.
We believe in slow travel — in sitting longer at the table, in listening to the stories behind each dish, in meeting the families who have shaped this coast for generations. Every experience we curate is intimate, personal and rooted in genuine connection.
- Authentic food from family-owned producers
- Traditional recipes passed down generations
- Hidden locations away from the crowds
- Storytelling by locals who call Dubrovnik home
Maximum 6–8 guestsper experience — always. Because intimacy cannot be scaled.
02 — Food Tours
Curated moments, not itineraries.
Small-group food experiences led by locals. Each one ends at a table, surrounded by people who love what they do.
Eat Traditional
€95Traditional Dubrovnik cuisine with local hosts, served in a family home in the old town.
Wine Education
€39Learn about Croatian wines, local grape varieties and the art of food pairing.
Seafood Experience
€135Fresh seafood depending on the daily fish market selection — the menu changes with what local fishermen bring that morning.
03 — Day Trips
Beyond the city walls.
Konavle Escape
Agritourism at local family farms, vineyards, wine tasting, countryside drives and a traditional lunch under the vines.
Pelješac Escape
Ston and its saltworks, historic wineries, the Wine Museum and the legendary Dingač wine region — a deep dive into Croatian wine culture.
04 — Boat Tours
The Adriatic, privately.
Luxury private boats to the Elafiti archipelago. Swim in hidden bays, enjoy a fresh seafood lunch on board, sip local wine and drift through the Adriatic at your own pace.
06 — Kind Words
Our guests become friends.
Felt like visiting old friends
"We ate in a family home, learned to make traditional dishes and ended the evening sharing wine on their terrace. This is not a tour — it's an invitation."

The real Dubrovnik
"Away from the crowds, our guide took us to places we'd never have found. The seafood lunch was the best meal of our entire trip to Croatia."
