Client Testimonials
Our group of 4 took the Diocletian’s Palace Free Tour with Jelena, and it was great! Jelena’s English was excellent and she was great at sharing historical, cultural and other information. The pace was great, and she spoke clearly and loudly enough that everyone could hear well. We saw a lot in just a little less than 1 1/2 hours. I highly recommend this tour!

So Jelena took us on a tour of the old town in Split. And we had an absolutely amazing experience. As an Irish person, it’s somewhat embarrassing to say, but her English was better than mine. And the only thing that was better than her English was her knowledge on the history of Split. We didn’t have a question she couldn’t answer in detail. Very charming and a great sense of humour, we had a really great time. We are delighted to recommend her and hope some of you experience the Old Town being guided by her. Thanks again for a fantastic day and all the best in your future endeavours.
Kindest regards, Morgan

Brilliant tour by Jelena. It exceeded expectations, was both informative and fun. A definite “must do” for anyone visiting Split to gain an understanding of this amazing city and its rich heritage. Jelena was welcoming, managed to blend both ancient and up to date historical events with ease. Thank you Jelena for a thoughtful and thoroughly enjoyable tour.
