About
Tours in:

Hi, I’m Marija Milovac, and I'm a professional licensed tour guide for Dubrovnik and the Dubrovnik-Neretva County since 2013, historian by education, and storyteller by calling.

For more than a decade, I’ve guided visitors through the layered history of my city, from its political brilliance as the former Republic to the everyday lives hidden behind its stone façades. In 2023, I completed my degree in the History of the Adriatic and the Mediterranean at the University of Dubrovnik, strengthening the academic foundation behind my work. I strive to combine careful historical research with narrative storytelling because I believe history is best experienced when it feels alive and meaningful rather than reduced to dates and facts.

I am also the author of the Haunted Dubrovnik storytelling project, through which I explore local folklore, myths, and lesser-known historical traditions. Alongside guiding, I have delivered lectures and performed at cultural events and festivals, sharing stories of the region’s history, witchcraft beliefs, and folklore heritage with modern audiences.

Here on VoiceMap, however, I invite you to experience Dubrovnik through a different lens: thoughtful, comprehensive, and carefully crafted audio tours. My tours are designed to give you depth, context, and atmosphere, not just information, but understanding.

When I’m not researching or guiding tours, I enjoy reading, collecting old objects, and spending time with my family, which includes two curious cats, two wonderful children, and a husband with whom I share a love for mystery and science fiction movies and series.

I hope you enjoy exploring Dubrovnik through my voice.
