Hello, my name is Sandra, and I can confidently say that I'm living my dream job. Ever since I was little, I wanted to become a tour guide. Every excursion or trip I take always begins with a visit to a bookstore, where I immediately stock up on books about the destination. My deep love for history from an early age evolved into a passion for archaeology and art history. Additionally, I've always had a great fondness for foreign languages, leading me to study Italian. Of course, I couldn't leave out history. As a student, my adventure began as a tourist assistant, and I gradually realized the immense responsibility that comes with the job. Over the years, I decided to pursue specialized training to become a licensed tour guide, and now I hold licenses to guide throughout Dalmatia, accumulating almost 15 years of experience. Besides my professional life, I have a strong passion for antiques, excellent films, and I fell in love with the series Game of Thrones. Naturally, as a bookworm, I also love traveling, good food, and good wine, all of which you can find abundantly in our Dalmatia. In line with current trends, three years ago, I completed a course to become a costumed heritage interpreter, essentially a storyteller. See you soon 🤗😀
Welcome to the city of Split, often referred to as the flower of the Mediterranean. Its name dates back to the Greeks, but its fame was sealed by the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who decided to build his final palace here and spend his retirement days in this very place. This city is unique because its harbor is just a 15-minute walk from the center. In its turbulent history, besides Diocletian, Venice also left a significant mark. Join us on a special walking tour where, alongside a guide, you'll discover how this city lives today and how it lived in its past. Just one click separates you from a unique experience and a stroll through the UNESCO-listed palace.
