Hello! My name is Lea, Split is my hometown and I'm a licensed tour guide for Split, Dubrovnik and Šibenik county, in English, French and Spanish language. I was born in Split, I have been living here for more than 20 years and I'm passionate about sharing its beauty and culture! I got my Master's degree in Marketing, at the Faculty of Economics here in Split. Following my university studies, I moved to Barcelona to do an internship before returning back to Split. I have always enjoyed learning languages, travelling and experiencing different cultures. Soon after graduation I realised that an office job doesn't suit me and I started to work as a tour guide, which was the best decision I have ever made! When I'm not tour guiding, I love to learn languages - I can speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and French. Yoga is also one of my passions, I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) by International Yoga Alliance. Local gastronomy has always interested me, so I decided to do a course for a wine consultant to get to know more about the rich wine history in Croatia. In my free time, I love long walks with my dog and reading books. I absolutely love my job and cannot wait to share with you all the beauties that the city of Split and the region of Dalmatia have to offer! If you were looking for a private guide to experience the region like a true local - you are right where you should be! * University degree in Marketing issued by University of Split, Croatia * Licensed tourist guide for Split-Dalmatia County * Licensed tourist guide for Dubrovnik-Neretva County * Licensed tourist guide for Sibenik-Knin County * Spanish C1 - degree issued by Kingsbrook Idiomas language school in Barcelona * Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language - issued by Cambridge TEFL * French language certificate - B2 * Certified Yoga Teacher by International Yoga Alliance * Certificate for the completion of a course for Wine consultant I am not a driver. I do have a driving license, but I prefer not to drive and guide at the same time. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Split tour
This Mediterranean jewel is the second largest city in Croatia and it has a rich and intriguing history, beautiful monuments and breathtaking nature. Altogether, this enchanting, unique heart of Split has rightly been declared a monument of zero category and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. If you are interested to know more, join me on this journey through time! This walking tour includes the general history of the city and the visit to the Diocletian's Palace and all its hidden treasures! Split has more than 1700 years of history and it's a unique example in the whole world of a living, breathing city that grew inside of an ancient roman palace! It is an open space museum where you don't need a ticket to enter! I was born in Split, I have spent more than 20 years living in its city centre and I am very passionate about sharing all its wonders! Whatever you're looking for, I'll be happy to point you in the right direction, helping you choose great spots to eat, drink and have a great time!

Your Split tour itinerary
This is an immersive walking tour around beautiful city of Split and it lasts 4 hours. I will pick you up from the port of Split with a car/a mini van/a bus with a driver and we'll go to the city centre. First we'll visit the subterranean part of the palace and then we'll stroll through medieval city that was built inside the ancient palace. Some of the highlights that we will see: - Riva promenade (waterfront) - Substructures of Diocletian's palace (cellars) - Peristyle square - Vestibule - Golden gate of Diocletian's palace - Gregory of Nin statue - People's square - Pjaca - Fruit square We will also include a (short) break - I can recommend great places for a coffee, ice cream or a beer. When we finish the tour, a driver will drive us back to the port. The tour can be completely customized according to your needs and wishes. It is possible to pick you up from another port for additional cost, please let me know if needed.
