Best tour guide for all ages - Mihala is amazing. She shared her beautiful city with us and we learned so much. She gave fantastic tips for restaurants, outings, and made the city come alive for all of us. Our teens cannot stop talking about how they loved her tour.

5 stars tour with Mihaela - The tour with Mihaela was fantastic, recommend it to everyone. Besides being so kind, she was full of knowledge about the history of her town as well as the current situation in Croatia.
Mihaela successfully passed on her love for her city to us and we were so happy to had her as our guide.
Mihaela, thank you for everything, you will be always in our hearts.

An excellent history tour of the Old City. Highly recommended 😊👍👌 - A very interesting and informative history of Dubrovnik, Croatia and surrounding states. We had a great couple of hours with Mihaela and learned a lot about the political complexities at work over the centuries. Mihaela was very chatty and we enjoyed her company very much for the tour.

Amazing tour with a great guide Mihaela - This was such a good option. My husband and I did a private history tour with Mihaela and it was amazing. The views are beautiful and the information provided by Mihaela gave us great history of the area. She took us all around the Old Town and showed hidden streets. It’s always great to have a local guide from the city. We learnt about everything and heard personal stories especially about Yugoslav war. We felt like we have made friends. Dubrovnik is such a wonderful city and the lenght of this tour was just perfect (and no stairs). Thank you Mihaela!

Superb! Must do in Dubrovnik - My husband and I usually travel in winter and Dubrovnik was magical without tourists! Astra company was super organized and they answered all our questions quickly. We got an amazing tour guide! Our guide demonstrated exstensive knowledge of Dubrovnik’s history, but also shared her personal stories about growing up in dubrovnik. We explored the main attractions in the OldTown and stopped for a coffee as well. We got to see some Game of Thrones locations as well! Our guide was super friendly, patient and attentive to our needs. We mostly liked her personal story about 1991 Yugsolav war. If you ever come to Dubrovnik I definately reccomend Astra and this tour.

Mihaela is a 5 ⭐️! - Michaela was fabulous!! It was amazing for us to learn about history from a great history buff. You could always tell she was a real local! My wife and I wanted a tour that is not too long and we ended up on a drink with our guide! Dubrovnik is just an amazing and beautiful city with RICH history. What we liked the most were personal stories and Mihaela’s talkings about the war in 1991 and her family experience. This tour was our unforgettable experience, thank you!
