Great walking tour of Split which we truly enjoyed! Very informative but filled with fun and interesting facts and anecdotes about the history of Split. Time flew quicky while listening to Ivana. Relaxed and easy-going atmosphere.

    History and fun in Split

    Antonjeta_B, Jul 2026
    Ivana was a true gem of a guide. She introduced us to Split through stories about history and her personal ones. Split is such an amazing place and she made it super interesting and fun. I can also recommend to take an earlier tour as the city was less hot and there were few leople around and we hade nice photo oportunities and spota to take them. Thank you for an amazing morning!

    Perfect Bit of Everything!
