Croatia 2024 - Jelena was amazing! She was very responsive and couldn't have been more helpful for our tour in Split. What is unique about her is that she was born and raised in the area, so is very familiar with everything. Every shop owner and restaurant waiter seemed to know her and always had kind words to say as our group walked by. It is her own company, so you are not getting a run of the mill tour guide. You would be getting a born-and-bred local who owns her own business. She gave us a terrific tour of Diocletian's Palace and the surrounding area. However, her company also helps with planning travel and tours to all parts of Croatia and Slovenia. Near the end of the tour, I casually asked if she had any suggestions on how to get our group of 6 up to Krka National Park. She immediately contacted a number of drivers and was able to arrange everything in a heartbeat. We had a driver round trip (Ana) who was terrific and very accommodating even with a small side trip. We also had another guide (Silvana) for the park itself. While trying to find the driver the morning of our tour, Jelena called me twice in 3 minutes herself on a Sunday morning to make sure we had connected with the driver. Her promptness, attention to detail and accessibility was first class and very professional. Lastly, we were headed to the island of Hvar the next day and I asked for any further recommendations. Again, she came through with all kinds of suggestions that had a very positive impact on our trip. Though you may find her agency advertised through Trip Advisor or Get Your Guide, her company is truly unique. It is small but extremely well run and will provide you with a personalized experience where no detail is ignored. I cannot recommend her services enough!

Great walking tour - We really enjoyed this private walking tour of Split. Pero was a great guide who was very informative. He tailored the tour a bit after learning a little about us, which we really appreciated. Very informative for myself, my husband and 2 sons in their early 20’s. Highly recommend.

Perfect way to see Croatia. - Our group of 5 did tours in Dubrovnik and Split with Jelena. She was extremely responsive. We were on a cruise with limited time and managed to go to the waterfalls in the morning and tour Split and the Palace in the afternoon. Our driver, vehicle, and guide were all fantastic. So glad we found her.
