My tour gives first-time visitors an engaging, easy-to-follow introduction to Split's history, culture, and daily life. We visit key landmarks like the Peristyle, Jupiter’s Temple, Mausoleum, Cellars, Riva, and more. As a guide originally from Bosnia who lived across the former Yugoslavia and the US, I offer a unique perspective. I connect Split's story to the wider Balkans and the world. I love diving deep, so ask me anything! Want to know why we fight all the time in the Balkans? Or why people in Split love Napoleon, but in Dubrovnik they wish you didn't ask? Or why Croatia is "selfishly" taking all the coastline? Maybe you want to learn different architectural styles? We’ll spot centuries of styles standing in one single spot. My small-group tours guarantee meaningful conversations. Afterward, I provide personalized recommendations, including a list of my favorite restaurants, local foods, and wines. Perfect for anyone wanting an informative, laid-back intro to Split.

We booked the 7pm walking tour with Jelena after only arriving in Split that afternoon and it has since been a highlight of our time in Split. Jelena has excellent presentation, she brought the Old Town and Palace to life with all her interesting insider facts. Tour was perfectly paced, not too long and great value. Jelena is knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Highly recommend the tour, and at 7pm there were very few crowds.
Wonderful!

Jelena was awesome, great pace, knows so much about the city. Good explanation. I would totally recommend this, small group works best. You can ask questions and get a truly detailed answer if that’s what you want. Will explore Split further from what we learnt today.
