We joined Mirjana's walking tour of Split on 8 May via Guruwalk, and it was one of the most memorable and heartwarming experiences of our trip. From the start, Mirjana was warm, responsive and welcoming — even over text. This meant so much to us, especially as we had found some of our interactions with locals to be a bit distant. Her openness and friendliness immediately made us feel comfortable and cared for. What made her tour truly special was that it wasn’t just another run-of-the-mill sightseeing experience filled with rehearsed lines or jokes. Mirjana brought genuine passion, deep knowledge and heartfelt storytelling. You could tell she loves Split — not just as a city, but as a living, evolving community. She shared not only historical facts, but also meaningful reflections on how Split’s culture and identity have been shaped through time. She connected the past with the present, and the personal with the collective, in a way that made everything feel alive. She also wove in her own values and principles, encouraging us to embrace cultures thoughtfully and respectfully. At the end of the tour, she gave us wonderful local recommendations (which we loved!) and practical tips on how we, as visitors, can support the local community without disrupting the balance of daily life. It was incredibly moving to see how deeply she cares for her home and its people. Mirjana even told us to reach out if we ever needed help or had questions — an offer that was so reassuring to hear as travelers. Our only regret? Not joining her tour on our first day in Split. It would have enriched our entire stay so much more. Thank you, Mirjana, for such a meaningful experience. You’re not just a guide — you’re an ambassador of your city’s soul.
La mejor guía que hemos tenido. Gracias, simplemente.
Although the other two registered attendees did not show up, Mirjana maintained the tour route with a lot of interesting facts and information for me to ezplore further in my next few days of visit. She even gave me a box of chocolates! How sweet is that! Thank you, Mirjana. For my one-on-one tour and for being my photographer as well -)
Interesting!
What a treat! Our tour of Split was so enjoyable—like visiting the city with anew friend. Our guide provided excellent historical context and introduced us to how people live there today. Highlights included a visit to the town market (including snacks!) . What a an excellent way to discover this sparkling town.
Well informed guide who provided a great history of Split both ancient and ptesent in a very relevent manner She was engaging and welcoming
It was very nice to learn about the history of Diokletian from a broader perspective. Myriam was very enthusiastic and informative.
Mirjana (sorry - spelling?) provided a very informative & engaging tour, teaching us so much about the history of Split. She is very passionate and highly respectful of the residents & guests on her tour. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a tour.
Loved my tour of Split! Great local information and details regarding the culture, history and tips for Split. Enjoyed it throughly and recommend doing this walk when visiting Split.
I really appreciated the local flavor Miriam’s brought to this tour—we sampled yummy treats from the Green Market and she balanced current and past information with ease and interest. I would highly recommend her tours! She clearly loves Split.
Mirjana was very thorough, energetic, and funny during our tour. She provided great food recommendations and answered all of our questions. We would highly recommend a tour with her!
Wonderful tour! She gives great insight into the Croatian life, which is difficult to see amongst all the people. Thank you for openly sharing your culture and love for your city with us.
Great tour guide with great stories, she really gave us a great sense of the place and how the locals fit there today along with the history
She was the best tour guide we’ve ever had. She was truly a great storyteller, really connecting us to the people and culture of Split, from ancient times to today. She had such a cheery attitude, her English was excellent, she was funny, intellectual, and her style was genuine and authentic.
Fantastic walking tour! Highly recommended to join.
The tour was wonderful. Mirjana showed herself to be a passionate, warm-hearted, funny storyteller. Her belief that people can connect and meet at eye level through traveling and interacting with locals is very beautiful. Thank you so much for this positive energy this morning!
The storyteller was very professional and aware of respecting the locals. She provided us really nice and in-depth overview of the whole castle/old town. Her expression is very clear and comprehensive, highly recommend!!!!
One of the best walking tours I’ve done. She is very passionate about Split having grown up in the old town. The perfect mix of history and new, felt like I left with a new appreciation for the town. Thank you!
Mirajana was very friendly and she didn’t even felt like a tour guide. Me and my husband asked her a lot of questions and she happily answered. The tour was full of laughter and loads of information. Thanks Mirajana
Friendly guide, informative tour. Would highly recommend
Mirjana was very good. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about the topic and gave us insights on what it’s like to live inside the walls of the palace. She grew up there herself. She even brought chocolate from a local chocolate shop that won best chocolate in the world 2023. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.
I really enjoyed Mirijans tour. First off she gave us some local adriatic sea salt chocolate to try which was delicious! She gave personal stories about how she grew up locally and what it was like to live in the palace. She was able to point out details and explained stories of the locals that live in the palace. Mirijan took us to great areas of the palace which had less tourists. She gave a very thorough tour and good summary of the history here in Split! She also gave lots of recommendations for restaurants to sightseeing. I highly recommend this tour guide :)
Mirjana led an amazing tour! I had just gotten into Split and saw this tour and the great reviews. It was everything I expected and more. She is a local and grew up in the town. She has insights and stories that you would not hear from just anybody. I truly am thankful for all the information Mirjana shared and she made my first day in Split very special!
Stop reading all of the reviews of the different tours (like I did) and just book this one! The guide was informative, entertaining and very engaged in conversations with the group. She took us to areas we would've overlooked and showed us details that brought out the history of life in Split. Small group size meant everyone was able to hear and participate. Highly recommend!!
The story teller Mirjana was one of the best. So passionate and knowledgeable.
