We have had a week in Europe packed with excellent tours, and this has been one of the best with the best guides! Ina’s deep research and thoughtful preparation are evident. Ina was clear, easy to understand, and delightful. (We also booked her for a city and palace tour, which were equally well prepared and valuable!) We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, learned much, and had an experience we will cherish.
A lot of standing around as opposed to walking however worth it. Ina was very passionate and knowledgeable. Really interesting tour
Ina is a wonderful story teller and historian. I loved learning about the Croatian experience during WW2. She also updated history to the 90s wars. I particularly loved learning about Jewish history.
This is a great tour for any history buff. My 16 year old son and I loved it! Our guide was amazingly knowledgeable and presented information not found in history books or the internet. I especially loved the photos from WWII and comparing them to how the town is today. She also presented information from ancient times. I wish she would write a book!!!
We had an incredible experience on this WWII storytelling tour with Ina. Her depth of knowledge and passion for this period of history were truly impressive. Ina expertly connected local events to the broader context of the war, bringing the history to life in a personal and engaging way. She shared powerful stories that made each location feel significant and memorable. If you want a meaningful insight into WWII’s impact on Split, this tour with Ina is a must!
Ina was a fabulous tour guide. So knowledgeable and very friendly. She went longer than we were supposed to.
My wife and I took this tour during the evening and it was very good WW2 perspective of Splits rich history. We had walked by some of the stops on the tour in previous days and had no idea the importance during those days of the war. Our guide was fantastic and had many photos and aerial maps to show perspective and then & now. Would highly recommend this tour if you have the slightest interest in ww2 history.
I highly recommend this tour. Ina knows her history!! It was very informative and knows all history of Split. This tour was definitely a highlight of our trip.
Ina was very friendly and knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions. A very enjoyable tour and we learned a lot.
Ina was an incredible guide! She is well-versed in the history of Split. Every detail was interesting and the pictures she shares are impressive. I would recommend this tour, you definitely get more than you pay for!
Our guide communicated well. She had many interesting details. Her pictures helped us connect to the WWII time period.
Ina connaissait très bien son sujet, et était très intéressante à écouter ! Très belle humeur, très acceuillante et nous a donné des recommandations pour la suite de notre voyage. Merci Ina !
