Memorable Tour with Jelena Vrancic - My wife and adult children arrived in Split with the intent of just walking the historic old town. We had several mediocre walking tours with Viking at previous ports and didn’t see the value of another. Perhaps a more personalized tour was the better option. With short notice, Jelena accommodated us and brought Split alive to our family of six. Her vibrant personality, in-depth knowledge and personal experiences made for a fascinating and memorable tour. Beyond the informative Diocletian’s Palace tour, we tasted local chocolate, Soparnik and fresh grapes at the farmer’s market. We met in the morning as strangers and left in the afternoon as friends.

Fantastic walking tour with knowledgeable and wonderful guide Jelena - A fantastic tour. Jelena was so knowledgeable and attentive. She explained the history and architecture in interesting and varied ways, and choose great places to stop and show us the city. Jelena helped us with our lunch reservation and also pointed out places to go in Split for genuine local food and arts and crafts. A very enjoyable few hours. Highly recommended.

Fun and knowledgeable - Wonderful tour for both adults and kids. Jelena was knowledgeable and her teaching experience helped create an instant connection with the little ones. She found spots along the way to keep us in the shade and made shopping in the market fun for everyone. The whole experience felt like an outing with Mary Poppins! She also helped 13 of us secure transportation from Split to Dubrovnik in two new Mercedes Vans with great drivers. We will definitely recommend her and can’t wait for our next trip to Croatia.

Jelena is exceptional at communication, follow through, planning, and providing above expectation service. She organized multiple tours with english speaking guides, historical and efficient.

Efficient tour - We thought the guide was informative, but we did a different tour today which was better and gave us more information we missed out on yesterday that we feel should have been included. The guide was efficient but not engaging.
