Fantastic tour with Anita - I had the best tour with Anita! She was so knowledgeable and personable that I felt like I was just walking around chatting with a friend. She kept an excellent pace and gave plenty of time for questions and photos. Highly recommend going on a tour with Anita!

Split walking tour - We spent the whole day in Split and absolutely loved it. The city is beautiful, vibrant, and full of life. We happened to arrive during the celebration of their patron saint, so we joined in the festivities with the locals. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Anita showed us around the old town, full of historic buildings and fascinating stories. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Beautiful Split - We got a recommendation for Anita’s walking tour and honestly, it was so good. Since it’s not peak season yet, we could wander around peacefully and really take it all in. We also wanted a bit of a Catholic focus, and Anita happily adapted the tour and took us to several churches, which we really appreciated. She even extended the tour quite a bit, which was a lovely surprise. We had a great time and truly enjoyed everything. Definitely recommend!

Thank you, Dario. - I am not a lover of guided tours or group sightseeing tours. We chose this guide for a family tour of the Krka waterfalls. Dario was able to put at ease from the first second with his touches of humor and his blatant passion for his country full of stories and filled with treasures. This visit was exciting, the scenery breathtaking. A famous guide that I recommend. Thank you to Anthony for taking us gently through the passes.

Awesome Split walking tour with Anita - Walking tour in Split is a great choice! The city is beautiful, I will definitely come back here! A small issue is the crowds from cruise ships, but in those moments you can retreat to one of the many cafes in the palace. Anita was a good guide. I definitely recommend it!
