Overview

Split, “The most beautiful city in the world," as its inhabitants like to say, is more than 1700 years old. Back in the 3rd century, Roman emperor Diocletian decided to build his retirement home here. His palace, UNESCO World Heritage site, and one of the world’s most impressive Roman monuments was a foundation of today`s Split. Join me on a tour and you will be able to see buildings from Roman times, 3500 year old sphinxes from Egypt, hear stories and legends about the history of Split, and experience a mixture of past and present day in the second largest city in Croatia.

The best Tour guide in the world

Published on May, 2025

Viktoria was the best tour guide in our whole trip in the cruise, we had so many tour guides from different towns and countries and Viktoria really stood out! She was very knowledgable of all the history of Croatia, and Split of course! She was passionate about it and made history and historic events very interesting and enjoyable even for my young children, that absolutely loved her! She was so kind, joyful, calm, patient and we felt as if we were her friends! Viktoria made us feel so welcomed in her town, and we definently really enjoyed the whole tour, the beautiful places we visited and overall her company! We loved Split because of Viktoria and we cant wait to come back! Her kindness with my children will never be forgotten! We all loved Viktoria! Thank you so much for such a beautiful day! Forever on our minds! Nina and familly from Portugal

A splendid day in Split

Published on Apr, 2025

We asked our concierge for a private historical tour guide for Split. He highly recommended Viktoria. She was extremely knowledgable, and very generous with her time. She was highly flexible in the type of tour she gave us and was able to delve deep into history for my husband and sprinkle in Game of Thrones for me. Viktoria is a wonderful individual, with a warm personality. We highly recommend Viktoria for anyone traveling to Split!

Amazing guide and tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

We had an excellent and very informative tour from Viktoria. Her energy and enthusiasm was infectious and it felt like we were being shown round by an old friend. The tour was extensive and we felt we saw so much more than looking round ourselves. We all enjoyed the tour and would thoroughly recommend Viktoria.

Thank you!

Published on May, 2024

Viktoria was the best tour guide and we couldn’t ask for a better person to show us around split. Viktoria customized our tour to show us what we were specifically interested in and we really connected with her. I can’t recommend this tour enough! She also gave us recommendations for our next part of our trip and we hope to stay in touch with her! Thank you!!
