Great leadership! - Dinah, guided us through Split the way I imagine a high-quality tour. With wit, charm and one or the other anecdote - as well as a large amount of background knowledge . Dinah didn’t owe us an answer to any question, so we were able to classify what was visited again and again in the historical background and in the timeline. Thanks Dinah, it was a great entertaining afternoon with you.

Great tour which was tailored to our pace and focus - The tour was amazing and done at our own pace. We went through the Diocletian Palace and old town, stopping by a few other attractions along the way. Jana, our guide, was superb and was so knowledgeable about the history and culture throughout. This really made the tour very personal and exceptionally enjoyable.

Great tour, better guide - My wife and I have travelled the world and have had many guides. None compare to Dana! She made us feel like family and gave a great tour of a wonderful town. My sister-in-law had raved about Dana, and we were convinced we would be disappointed. Dana surpassed expectations! The tour itself was great and I recommend it to all. What a wonderful three hours! Something to always remember.

Beyond a tour and tour guide!! - We are so thankful we booked this private tour with Dinah. Because it was just the two of us with her we could hear everything she said and could ask questions. She explained everything very well… she has intimate knowledge of not only the palace and new old town/old town, but also a strong knowledge of the history of Split and Croatia.l. She had a tablet with her to show us pictures of what the palace and surrounding buildings looked like before they fell to ruin. She gave us several recommendations y for restaurants and walked us to several and talked to owners/managers on our behalf to make sure we were well taken care of. We especially appreciated her recommendation for gelato. When we got warm, she stopped and took us into a restaurant for a wonderful fresh lemonade. She also took us to a fountain so we could cool off. Dinah also speaks 4 languages adding to her versatility as a guide but she’s more than a tour guide, she’s truly a docent. We cannot recommenced this 2.5 hour tour enough. Well worth it.
