Welcome! Yes, you read that right - Daniela. Not the most typical Croatian name, I know 😄 My mom loved Italian soap operas… and the name stayed. Before anything else - I currently offer more than 20 different tours, but many guests prefer something more personal. I’m always happy to design a fully custom itinerary based on your interests, travel style and schedule. If you send me a message or email, I usually respond very quickly and can prepare a personalized plan within one day. Despite the Italian-sounding name, my family’s roots in Croatia go back more than 300 years (as far as we know). Dalmatia isn’t just where I work, it’s where my story truly begins. My name is Daniela, a licensed local guide based in Split with more than 10 years of guiding experience, and I’m genuinely happy you found my page. I also hold a Master’s degree in Tourism, which helps me combine professional planning with real local knowledge and experience. Guiding is not just my job; it’s something I’ve been living every day for years. I created these tours so guests can experience Dalmatia the way locals actually do - not only by seeing famous landmarks, but by understanding the stories, traditions and everyday life behind them. Every traveler is different, and I don’t believe in one standard tour for everyone. I adapt each experience to your interests and pace, whether you enjoy history, culture, food, nature, or simply a relaxed day exploring. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, ask questions freely and leave with a real connection to the places you visit. I take care of all the details: organization, timing, reservations, recommendations and those small local tips you would normally never find on your own. You can relax and enjoy, knowing everything is thoughtfully planned and handled with care. Many of my guests say the best part of their trip is not only what they saw, but how they experienced it. From ancient ruins and coastal towns to local homes and family traditions, I want you to feel welcomed — not like a tourist, but like a guest. I truly believe travel is about people and shared experiences. Everyone is welcome, and I do my best to create a warm, friendly atmosphere where you can feel at ease and enjoy your time in Croatia. If you choose to explore with me, I will make sure your visit becomes one of your favorite travel memories. I look forward to meeting you in Dalmatia!

Overview of your Split tour

Step inside one of the most unique cities in the world, a living Roman palace. On this relaxed walking tour, you will explore Split beyond the typical sightseeing route and understand how people still live inside Diocletian’s Palace nearly 1,700 years after it was built. We walk through ancient cellars, Peristyle Square, narrow stone streets and hidden courtyards while learning how a Roman retirement residence slowly became a medieval town and today’s vibrant Mediterranean city. Instead of just dates and monuments, the tour focuses on everyday life, traditions and local stories. You will see where locals drink coffee, how the palace functions as a real neighborhood, and discover corners most visitors walk past without noticing. This experience is perfect for travelers who want more than a history lecture, a personal, engaging introduction to Split and Dalmatian culture.

Daniela is an excellent guide who introduces the long history of Croatia with humor, extensive knowledge but also a local perspective. Croatia is a fabulous place to visit and hearing her personal stories made the tour fun and memorable. Highly recommend!

Our guide, Daniela, was truly exceptional! The passion and enthusiasm that she conveyed for her history and country was as informative as the detailed information she provided about the city of Split. Also, her willingness to provide information about restaurants and wine bars and really anything else was most appreciated. I end where I began: Daniela is truly an exceptional tour guide!

Daniela is an exceptional tour guide and I could not recommend her and this tour enough. She is so friendly, kind, entertaining and knowledgeable - everything that you'd hope for in a guide! In particular, I wanted to note that my group consisted of a 10-month old baby and two members with back problems. I spoke to Daniela in advance and she was *so* accommodating! She did amazing considering the route we took and what we saw so that it was not too difficult for us. We felt truly looked after before, during and after the tour. The tour itself is fascinating and Daniela does well to weave personal anecdotes between the various sites and history. I couldn't possibly ask for more. Thank you Daniela!

Daniela, Elena and team are fantastic. Constant, timely communication. Very accommodating as I had a missed connecting flight and was not able to make original tour time. Worked to rebook and make sure I was able to see Split over my short two day stay. Tour was very thorough and Elena was able to answer historical/cultural context questions to give better sense of city and Croatian people. Overall great command of English done at a nice leisurely place to get a great overview of the city and it’s history
