Jelena gave us an excellent tour of the medieval town and Diocletian palace. She told several good stories and was very engaged in the information she was sharing. We would highly recommend her as a guide!

An absolutely unforgettable experience! We had an amazing 1,50 hours with Jelena walking through Diocletian's palace. She is not just highly knowledgeable, but also an exceptional storyteller who truly brought history to life. The tour was perfectly structured, interactive, and filled with fascinating facts you won’t find in guidebooks. Jelena is funny and patiently answered to our questions and made sure that our 11 years daughter don't get bored. I highly recommend her, it was a great experience!

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour of Split Old Town and Jelena was a fantastic tour guide! She made the tour very enlightening with humour and enthusiasm, explaining all the history very clearly and answering the questions the tour group asked. Would highly recommend!!

A fantastic tour with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. As a local, she was able to provide excellent insight into politics, architecture and history (and also emailed the best eats and bars after we finished). A great way to understand Split and its diabolical history.

It was fabulous getting to know key facts in Slit history (Diocletian palace tour) delivered by my tour guide Jelena. She was warm, the pace was good and the interaction was positive. I would not necessarily recommend for young kids (i have a 6 yr old) unless they are supper interested in history and don't mind walking. That said It was perfect for me.
