Licensed Tourist Guide in Croatia. I am a passionate traveller who loves meeting people from all around the world. Except in Split where I grew up, I lived in other cities in Croatia and in Spain. I've studied French and Italian language and literature, and my curiosity was leading me always towards history, reading about other cultures, and traveling, so now, I really enjoy the mix I can offer as a guide; speaking in your language and telling you a history of my hometown. I am also a Tour Leader to Croatian biggest National Park - Plitvice Lakes. As a local, I enjoy soaking up the sun and drinking coffee for hours; "fjaka" is what we call it :). You won’t regret booking a tour with me, I guarantee you an exciting journey - stories about Greek Gods, Egyptian sphinxes, Temples, Roman Conspiracies, and much more! It's a beautiful and 1700 year old story that is worth your time. 😊 🚩 SMALL GROUPS 🚩 GREAT INTRODUCTION to your stay in Croatia 🚩 TIPS & RECOMMENDATIONS after the tour

Like yourself, I also like to travel. I feel relaxed and safe when I have a capable and amusing guide who adapts to my needs so I try to do the same when I have guests. On the tour we will speak about ancient history but also about life in Croatia today and HOW MUCH has this country changed in the last couple of decades. Book the tour and I am sure you will remember something about our way of life

Hello, adventurers! I'm your guide through history. I've been navigating the twists and turns of time for a solid 10 years now, and let me tell you, it's not just a job – it's my passion! Born and raised in the heart of Split, I've been deeply connected to this city for generations. Believe it or not, I've been strolling these cobblestone streets since I was knee-high! But the story doesn't stop there. I'm not just a local lad; I've taken my love for history and adventure to new heights. I've worked on legendary American cruisers like Celebrity and Disney, bringing a touch of Dalmatian charm to the high seas of the Atlantic. You know, passengers there often said I have that 'special spark' when I talk about Split's history – and I think they're right! So, my friends, let me take you on an incredible journey through time and space. Under my guidance, every nook of Diocletian's Palace will become your personal story. And I promise you, it'll be an adventure etched into your hearts as a cherished memory!

Famous sights to visit in a walking tour Split

Exploring the vibrant city of Split on foot is a delightful experience, as it is home to numerous historical and cultural landmarks. One of the first stops should be the magnificent Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site that dates back to the Roman era. This sprawling complex features stunning architecture, ancient ruins, and bustling cafes, providing a glimpse into the life of the Roman Emperor Diocletian.

As you wander through the narrow streets, don’t miss the iconic Cathedral of Saint Domnius, which is housed in the former mausoleum of Diocletian. Its impressive bell tower offers panoramic views of the city and the Adriatic Sea. Another must-see is the beautiful Riva Promenade, where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the waterfront, lined with palm trees, restaurants, and shops, making it the perfect spot to soak up the lively atmosphere of Split.

Must-Visit Places on a Free Walking Tour Split in Winter

During the winter months, Split transforms into a serene haven, perfect for leisurely exploration. A visit to the enchanting **Marjan Hill** is highly recommended, where you can enjoy a brisk hike amidst the peaceful pine forests, offering stunning views of the city and the surrounding islands dusted with winter hues. The crisp air makes this an invigorating experience, ideal for families looking to escape the bustling tourist crowds. Children will enjoy the playgrounds along the trails, and the panoramic vistas provide ample opportunity for memorable family photos.

No winter visit to Split would be complete without indulging in local seasonal delicacies. Be sure to try the traditional Fritule, small sweet doughnuts often flavored with citrus and served warm at local markets. The festive atmosphere is further enhanced by Christmas markets that spring up during this season, where you can sip on hot mulled wine and browse handmade crafts. The blend of flavors and sights creates a cozy winter experience, making a walking tour of Split not just a sightseeing trip, but a delightful culinary journey.
