My tour gives first-time visitors an engaging, easy-to-follow introduction to Split's history, culture, and daily life. We visit key landmarks like the Peristyle, Jupiter’s Temple, Mausoleum, Cellars, Riva, and more. As a guide originally from Bosnia who lived across the former Yugoslavia and the US, I offer a unique perspective. I connect Split's story to the wider Balkans and the world. I love diving deep, so ask me anything! Want to know why we fight all the time in the Balkans? Or why people in Split love Napoleon, but in Dubrovnik they wish you didn't ask? Or why Croatia is "selfishly" taking all the coastline? Maybe you want to learn different architectural styles? We’ll spot centuries of styles standing in one single spot. My small-group tours guarantee meaningful conversations. Afterward, I provide personalized recommendations, including a list of my favorite restaurants, local foods, and wines. Perfect for anyone wanting an informative, laid-back intro to Split.
