Excellent tour of Split - We had an amazing tour of Split with Mia that really set the bar for our visit to Croatia! She shared so much information, filled with interesting details and personal anecdotes. As a native of Croatia, her knowledge of the history of Split was exceptional. At our request, Mia extended our tour to include the Temple of Jupiter and the crypt. Split is a lovely place and we really enjoyed our time with Mia!

Wonderful! - We had the best time with Jelena! Her love for Croatia and the city of Split was obvious and it truly felt like we were touring with an old friend. Jelena's knowledge of the city's history is truly impressive and she shared it enthusiastically. She catered the tour to our interests, taking us to the Jewish quarter when I told her I was Jewish. She went so far as to recommend a restaurant for dinner (and book us a reservation!) as well as to recommend (and offer to book) a restaurant in Hvar, our next stop. Both dinners were absolutely amazing and our favorites in Croatia. We didn't want our time with Jelena to end!

Jelena’s a gem! - Jelena was great! She did a wonderful job sharing the history of Diocletian’s Palace and Split. She was warm, engaging, and so relatable. Jelena is extremely knowledgeable of the area and we enjoyed learning about the Croatian people and culture. She also gave us many recommendations for the remainder of our trip in Split and other cities in Croatia. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together and didn’t want it to end!

Jelena Made Our Split Tour Unforgettable! - Jelena was an incredible tour guide! Her deep knowledge about Split brought the city’s history and culture to life in a way that was engaging for both adults and kids. She went above and beyond to make the tour special for the children, showing us hidden spots and fascinating details we never would have discovered on our own. Jelena truly made our trip unforgettable — she was the absolute highlight of our visit to Split. Highly recommend!

We were picked up by our... - We were picked up by our guide Vinka in front of our accommodation. Vinka was the best! She made us feel very comfortable and she was very knowledgable about the history of Split. My mum had knee problems and had to walk slowly with a cane, and Vinka was very considerate and would do her best to make her feel comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour! ❤️

Jelena arrived on time with a big smile and then explained the details of the tour over the next 3 1/2 hours. Excellent - Jelena arrived on time with a big smile and then explained the details of the tour over the next 3 1/2 hours. Jelena‘s knowledge of Roman history in Split and the under ground of Diocletian Palace was very thorough. She explained very well the different time periods and the resultant architectural differences leading to modern day times. We visited a few local artisan shops and purchased locally made chocolates and sweets. Overall an excellent and enjoyable 3 and 1/2 hours.

Make the most of your time with Jelena - We had just one full day in Split, so I knew I wanted to make it count. I did a lot of research on tour guides on several sites. Jelena’s name stood out, and with good reason. Her combination of extensive knowledge, humor, and overall loveliness made our morning together so memorable! Thanks to Jelena, we were able to fully appreciate Split, the palace, and the substructures in our limited time. She is a master at “reading the room” and seems to have a gift for understanding what her client will most appreciate. When I wanted to linger somewhere, we did. Other times we just kept moving. A private tour with Jelena is well worth the price. If I return to Croatia, I hope to have her plan my whole trip. Thanks, Jelena!
