Palace and Jewish history

Published on May, 2025

This was an excellent tour of both the palace and the Jewish quarter. We also received a tour of the old synagogue and learned the history of the Jews which dates back over five hundred years. Highly recommend!

Awesome !! Five Stars

Jelena is exceptionally knowledgeable, remarkably responsive, and offers highly competitive services. She consistently goes above and beyond to prioritize his clients’ best interests, earning their trust and loyalty.

Fabulous tour guide! Highly recommend

Published on Oct, 2024

My mother and I had the most fabulous afternoon with Jelena on a private tour of Split. Besides being so intelligent, interesting, and informative, she was warm and welcoming. She is simply a lovely person and a pleasure to spend time with. We learned so much about Split’s history and culture. It was the perfect way to spend our first day in Croatia. Jelena also organized our driver from the airport to our hotel, as well as a private driver and guide for a tour of Krka National Park and Šibenik. The drivers and tour guide she connected us with were all thoughtful, professional, on time, and great to work with. Communicating with Jelena before and during our trip was effortless. She always responded promptly and I knew from our first texts that I was in good hands. Jelena also gave fantastic restaurant recommendations that really added to the enjoyment of our trip. I highly recommend Jelena and her services, whether for a single tour or planning a whole trip. I hope I get the chance to see her again! Thank you for making our time in Split so special, Jelena!

Best Tour in Split!!!

Jelena is amazing! I would recommend her and her tours to anyone visiting Split! My family had the best time with her! I would rate this 12/10 if I could!

Fantastic Private Tour of Split - Highly Recommended!

Published on Sep, 2024

Jelena's private tour of Split was among the best we have ever taken. She has a deep reservoir of knowledge, speaks perfect English, and is fun to be with. We loved that she knew how to avoid the crowds, which is no small feat in the Old City of Split. Jelena also helped us plan activities in Dubrovnik/Montenegro and, again, she was right on the mark with her selection of excellent guides and drivers. She is highly responsive and adaptable, and made our stay in Croatia exceptional.
