5.00We had a wonderful experience touring Salona with Dinah on our honeymoon! She was able to add context and history to the ruins and we were able to go at our own pace. She was also very personable and it felt like we were exploring with a knowledgeable friend. She was mindful about the summer heat and called beforehand to recommend going later in the day. She even had extra water for us, which was incredibly thoughtful and appreciated! Dinah also made sure we had plenty of recommendations for restaurants and other local activities in Split 😊 If you're looking for a tour guide in Split or Salona, Dinah deserves to be at the top of your list!
We toured the Roman ruins in Solana & the Fortress in Klis. We went mainly because some of GOT had been filmed there. But OMG, I

5.00Salona is a must visit place if you are in Split, and Dinah was an exceptional tour guide, who shared great stories and details with us as we were walking the ancient streets of Salona. She brought the history of this great Roman city alive and made the tour seem really personal and engaging. On top of that she was very friendly and attentive to the group. All in all, highly recommended!
Great tour of Salona.

5.00Great tour of Salona! I learned a lot and traveled back in time. Dinah knows her stuff and has an answer to every question. Highly recommend this tour with her.

5.00That was a very nice, highly interesting tour with Dinah! Salona is somewhat in the shadow of Split, but it should not be in any way: so many Roman buildings in one place and then scenically very nice for walking and exploring - and much quieter and quite different from a city tour in Split! Dinah has an enormous knowledge and impresses with her warm and personable nature! Highly recommended!
