5.00We spent the whole day in Split and absolutely loved it. The city is beautiful, vibrant, and full of life. We happened to arrive during the celebration of their patron saint, so we joined in the festivities with the locals. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Anita showed us around the old town, full of historic buildings and fascinating stories. We’ll definitely be coming back!

5.00This walking tour, Rome away from Rome was definitely one of the best walking tours I’ve ever taken. It was full of interesting stories about Split history and ancient Rome. Our tour guide, Anita was so passionate about what she does and she has such a great knowledge of Split’s history and the way she presented it was such a fun experience. Walking through Diocletian’s palace while getting to know the history was remarkable. Anita also shared many interesting local insights and hidden details I would have completely missed on my own. Highly recommend this tour and Anita, you will have the best time!

5.00We got a recommendation for Anita’s walking tour and honestly, it was so good. Since it’s not peak season yet, we could wander around peacefully and really take it all in. We also wanted a bit of a Catholic focus, and Anita happily adapted the tour and took us to several churches, which we really appreciated. She even extended the tour quite a bit, which was a lovely surprise. We had a great time and truly enjoyed everything. Definitely recommend!
