AMAZING EXPERIENCE- great value .. - Jelena was AMAZING! We learned so much in the 2 hr tour. She was very easy to engage with — friendly, knowledgeable, personable .. and she spoke excellent English having studied and taught for many years. The details of the palace and history was very broad and deep allowing her to answer our questions. She exhibited flexibility as we had a small group tour before her tour to get highlights. She adjusted and built on the prior tour and complemented nicely. We highly recommend Jelena. A great experience and value.

Top Notch Tour Guide - Jelena is an extraordinary tour guide - very informative, enthusiastic, accommodating and personable. She guided us beautifully throughout the old town, customized the tour to our interests and answered all of our questions. Based on her descriptions we were able to better visualize and experience what she was sharing with us - both historically and as someone who grew up in/near Split. You can tell she is widely well-respected as all of the other guides greeted her with a big smile. Jelena made our experience fascinating and fun! We will highly recommend her to any of our family and friends planning a trip to Croatia!!

The Best of Split! - My husband and I travelled around the Adriatic for 3 weeks, contracting with private guides for a number of the key sites and cities. We hired Jelena for a private walking tour of Split and she was fantastic. We listened, learned and laughed a lot. Jelena was both knowledgable and personable -- with answers to and patience for our many varied questions. We very much enjoyed her showing us the multiple intertwined layers of Diocletian's Palace and modern day Split. We came away from the 3-plus hours with a much better grasp of the region's and city's history but also an appreciation of life in Croatia today (and during the war and under Tito's rule). Wandering down the alleyways of Old Town and the basement of Diocletian's Palace was fascinating but we also had a great time at the farmer's market as well as the chocolate and gelato shops. Jelena's 19-years teaching English (before becoming guide) make her an excellent communicator; she freely shared personal stories, frank opinions and thoughtful (and sometimes humorous) insights. She also was helpful with suggestions for others things to do in Split as well as during our time in Istria and Rovinj. We highly recommend Jelena!

Amazing - Our tour with Jelena was amazing. She was able to provide history and a vision of the city before the it became part of daily life. If we had toured Diocletian’s palace without guidance we would never have understood the beauty of the city as it evolved.

Split with Jelena - We have traveled extensively throughout Europe and Jelena is easily the best guide we have ever used. She is charming, knowledgeable and we couldn’t have experienced our stay in Split in a better way. After only spending 2 1/2 hours on our tour we feel we have left behind a friend. What does that tell you?
