Overview

Experience Split Walking Tour is private & exclusive personalized tour led by a local professional historian through the See, Hear and Feel sense: See the sights, Hear the story & Feel the vibe.

With Master`s degree in history and working as a history teacher I was developing my professional and educational skills what helps me to guide my tours on See, Hear & Feel sense. On my tours participants are encouraged for active participation regardless they have questions or they just want to make an opinion.

On this tour I will guide you through the history of Split where I live all of my life and I will introduce you to all the relevant sights as well as with the interesting hidden gems of the city. Beside history and cultural themes as a main part of the tour, important part is also getting know about local mentality and everyday life with its own special characteristics.

Pictures & 3D images via display book will help you to perceive the history behind story itself.
