Amazing tour company! - We booked several excursions through Croatia Awaits during our trip to Split - boat tour, national park, history tour, and cooking class - and all were amazing! Jelena and her teams were fantastic and their assistance in booking and guides during each one really enhanced our relaxation and enjoyment of Croatia! Very knowledgeable, experienced and professional. We will definitely use Jelena and her team for our next trip to Croatia!! Thank you!

Great organizer and flexible when needed! - I scheduled 2 tours for 8 people with Croatia Awaits this June, after a week long sailing charter from Dubrovnik to Split. Jelena (the owner) was very helpful setting up a Split Old Town Walking Tour, and a day to the Krka National Park; a UNESCO Site with beautiful waterfalls and Nicola Tesla (the Croatian inventor) historical site. About 3 months before we arrived, the travel plans for 4 people changed. She swapped the days and adjusted the # of people for Krka National Park, while on vacation herself! Jelena was the guide for Split. She was very engaging and knowledgeable about the History and Culture (she is from Dalmatia) of the area. Her command of the English language was deeper than most guides I have worked with; easy to understand, with a lovely British accent, and capable of answering any question we asked. This was truly the highlight of a month travelling in Europe; the city, the people and especially Jelena! Vicencija was the guide for Krka; also very knowledgeable and adept at changing the itinerary as we went. She made an effort to make the tour fun; listening to our interests and adjusting where we stopped along the way. Make sure you have time to have lunch at a special Tavern along the way; where we had the best meal in Croatia! Vinco was our driver who Jelena works with. He added in interesting local area knowledge as we drove and is a very good (safe and smooth) driver. He has both C and E-Class Mercedes depending on the size of your group; I know since we had to change the number of people due to travel changes... We were scheduled to board the Split-Ancona (Italy) ferry that evening, when we hit road work that would have delayed our return; he was able to change the route so we made the ferry on time! All in all, I can't recommend Jelena and her staff enough. I look forward to returning for another sailing trip and seeing more of the Dalmatian coast with Croatia Awaits!

5 stars - book with Jelena! - Absolutely book a tour with Jelena! She did a great job of explaining Split history in an easy to understand format - she kept a perfect pace. We started under the palace and worked our way up through the old town. She also treated us to some typical Split/Croatian delights and gave us fabulous lunch recommendations. We take historical tours in every city we visit, and she is up at the top! Well worth your time and money.

Great tour! - Jelena’s tour was incredible. She is very knowledgeable about the history of the city and takes you to some of the best places for little treats or souvenirs along the way! She answered all of our questions and gave great recommendations on other places to check out around the city, both to see and for food. I would highly recommend booking any of her tours!

Amazing Croatia! - Jelena’s tour was fabulous! She is so enjoyable to be with, extremely knowledgeable and engaging. The time flew by and we wished we had more time to spend with Jelena! We both learned so much about Croatia, its history as well as present day. We would highly recommend her.

Best private walking tour of Split - We had a fantastic private tour of Split with Vicencija. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the palace and of Split generally. She was also very patient in answering all of our questions and gave us good recommendations for how to spend the remainder of our time in Split. She also made an effort to customize our tour based on our interests. Not being in a large group was well worth the extra cost of this tour.
