Hi there! Welcome to delightful Dalmatia. Is there anything better than doing a job you absolutely love? For me, there's just one. Doing a job I love and equally sharing my energy and passion. Really helping visitors to Croatia discover more by creating beautiful hand-picked experiences and moments that people will never forget! So, who am I? In a nutshell - I'm a true local, in love with Split and Dalmatia. I'm a keen foodie, wining and dining, exploring the rich Dalmatian cuisine. Movies, art, cultural heritage and languages all play a strong role in my life. When I'm not out-and-about passionately sharing my perspective with visitors, you'll often find me bargaining for the best deal at the famous fish market, delving into a good book, or doing what every local does best - meeting friends for a good chat over coffee in the sunshine! Over my 18-year-long career in the tourism industry, one of the great things about what I do - is always managing to hit the right balance! The balance between hitting the sweet spot among guests who really want to delve deep into the historical culture, understand what makes Dalmatia tick today, or gently absorb the sights and flavours. Maybe even a delightful healthy mix. Having lived abroad in the UK and as a keen traveller, when I'm in an entirely new place I need a comprehensive feel-good tour experience. An experience full of genuine smiles and laughs - all at my own pace. More importantly - from someone who knows their stuff! It's as much about the small attention to detail as it is exploring wonderful landmarks on foot. Personally crafted tailor-made itineraries. The intriguing Island anecdotes. The true mindset and lifestyle of the locals. The way people lived then and now. It's about listening, being flexible, throwing in a touch of humour and feeling what you - the visitor individually wants to explore, discover and experience. Good news. That's exactly what I do! Truly feel the vibes of Split and Dalmatia - let's do this together. Over to you. . .

The perfect all-in-one local tour to absorb all the sights and tastes of the Old Town of Split. Explore the spectacular Diocletian's Palace - a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979. With locals still living within its walls, it remains a present-day, breathing monument of one era and a "must see" when meeting Split for the first time. Step with me into the rich cultural heritage of this vibrant city with its numerous palaces, quirky narrow streets & artisan shops. Share a taste of local life enjoying food and wine tasting in a top quality wine bar located in the Old Town of Split. I know the right place! All the wines are local.

This is a walking tour. If you are visiting Split on a cruise ship, I can, for an extra cost, arrange a transfer in a car or rickshaw to the Old Town. However, the cruise ships dock only 10-minute walk away from the Old Town/Diocletian's Palace, and unless you have mobility issues, walking is the easiest.
