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. . .

Enjoy a fantastic family-friendly private tour of The Diocletian's Palace and The Old Town of Split specifically created for both children and parents. Travelling with children can be a tricky and demanding affair - especially when you want to take in some sightseeing. Unlike the majority of private tours in Split, this is a perfect family experience, customized to cater for families of all ages. With my 19-year-long teaching career, I understand what it takes to keep children engaged. I find it easy to bond with children, making sure they get as much value out of the tour as the mums and dads! We start our tour at the main Riva waterfront where I'll share an overview of the city of Split. The bronze model map of the palace and the city, really helps us to understand the city as a whole - especially for kids as they try to match certain landmarks with what they can spot on the model. Naturally, a strong family tour will never be complete without one thing - that's right - chocolate!
From The Riva we enter the substructures of the palace, which young kids often find spooky and cool as they simply love running within these huge corridors. - At the main Roman square, Peristyle Square, we become face-to-face with the 3, 500 year-old Egyptian Sphinx. Often on this square, you can spot fully-equipped Roman guards bearing helmets and swords - the perfect opportunity to grab a family photo together. - chocolate stop - we wrap up the tour with a previously prepared quiz or if there are younger kids on the tour, we delve into some drawing or colouring sheets. - on hot days of the tour, we might pop in a café for a drink or snack, doing the quiz in the shade. Let me know about customizing this tour for your family.
