My husband and I had a wonderful private walking tour with Mirjana! She took us through the old town and and explained the history along will some great stories!

I was in Split only for a few days with a friend and we had a pleasure of having Mirjana as our tour guide. Not only she's very knowledgeable on history and different events that happened to Split and Croatia in the past, she is also using storytelling in which makes the whole tour so much more interesting. I didn't feel the time fly and enjoyed every minute of our tour with Mirjana. She helped me to fell in love with the city of Split. I'd definitely recommend the guiding tour with amazing tour guide like Mirjana, you stay would definitely going to be enhanced!
We loved exploring the back streets and busy squares with Mirjana. She shared the love of her city in a graceful and fun way (dark chocolate even). Finding her "hidden" coffee shop was a highlight. We were able to retrace our steps to the best Cevapi in town. A great experience in Split...and she is an excellent photographer!
Absolutely worth it. Thought we’d seen it all until we met Mirjana. We’ve now got so many more restaurants and bars to go too. 10/10.
Our group of four just completed our tour with Mirjana….she was the absolute best! Mirjana is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun to be around. We learned so much about Split. She was very responsive to our wide array of questions. I highly recommend Mirjana if you are considering a tour of Split.
A lot of fun and a great way to experience Split whether you are new to Croatia or returning. Mirjana was super knowledgeable and a lot of fun to hang around with for the day. We saw a lot of interesting sights and learned a lot! Highly recommended way to get off the beaten path.
I’ve done a fair share of walking tours all around the place, but I have rarely had the opportunity to be guided by someone who is as passionate about what they do as Mirjana is! The tour is packed with knowledge, fun stories and interesting details known only by locals. Mirjana is very engaging, super knowledgeable and very approachable. Through the stories she shares with so much love and pride for the city she’s from I guarantee you will fall in love with Split just like our group did after the walking tour with Mirjana. Definitely recommended!
What a wonderful way to learn more about Split and in particular the Diocletian’s Palace. Mirjana led our group on an extremely informative tour of the palace. She was very knowledgeable, fun, funny and very approachable … all questions were answered. Highly recommended if you are looking to learn more about Split in a most enjoyable and entertaining manner.
Mirjana is exceptional. She is very personal catered to the personal needs. I wanted to have more local base coffee & storytelling walking tour without overwhelming too much information, and she noticed my needs immediately, catered to them. In my case I travelled alone, and I thought as if I was having conversation with a local friend! She is beyond and above tour guide. Highly recommend Mirjana.
Mirjana is extremely knowledgeable and her stories are so engaging! She knows all the good spots and knows how to tie history into anything. Super welcoming and warm, you’ll walk into another world with her:) I got a tour of Zagvozd (60km from Split) and got to see a beautiful other side of country living<3
Mirjana gave such a wonderful tour! She is a mezmerizing storyteller and so entertaining, funny and lively that I could have listened to her all day!
Mirjana’s tour was wonderful! She’s very friendly and welcoming so you immediately feel like you’re exploring the city with a friend. She took us to some lovely local vendors in the green market and had us try some delicacies. She was knowledgeable about the local history and pointed out some cool things about architecture in the palace as well. Highly recommend!
Our group of 12 took this walking tour today. I would highly recommend it. Our guide, Mírijana, was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun. I loved her energy and learned so much.
My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed her, her story telling and all the information about Split. You cannot help but love her personality! She truly wants you to have the best experiences in Split! Book her, you will not be disappointed! ♥️♥️♥️
Amazing tour and stories of Split - Mirjana really brings stories to life, very passionate and had great local knowledge. Loved to stories about the hanging washing. She knew all the hidden spots
Mirjana lit up the beautiful streets of Split with her knowledge, warmth and energy, with great local connections. A very fascinating and fun tour!
Marjana’s energy is amazing and her passion for history and culture is clear from the first moment! She took our group down alleyways and local spots I would never have found on my own and truly showed us the charm of Split. I highly recommend for her expertise and overall contagious energy for all things Split and Croatia!!
We went to diocletians palace and Mirjana, the guide, walked us through the story of the place from then till now. Mirjana was fun and had a few new ways to look at the History
Mirjana is a gem! She is a wonderful guide who is knowledgeable and engaging. Her warm demeanor makes you feel extremely comfortable and her bubbly personality makes you feel like you’ve known her forever. Highly recommend Mirjana!!
Split during Yugolsavia - is a must GO tour. I live in Ireland but I am from Split. This tour made me look at my home town from a whole different perspective. If I loved the tour I can imagine how much people who are not from Split will love it. The walk in socialist architecture areas, the stories behind the buildings, street art.. I love it all. Go in this tour, you will love it.
Mirjana brought the city’s history to life. Animated, friendly, helpful and with a sense of humour, she is engaging and knowledgeable as a tour guide. This tour takes you through the city’s streets and underneath, where you can see the layers of history through its architecture. Highly recommend.
Mirjana was a fantastic tour guide, she really brought the city to life! Mirjana gave us a great tour of the old city and The Subterranean chambers. Her enthusiasm for the city was captivating, and she had a whole wealth of local knowledge to keep us hooked throughout. She was also very respectful and mindful of the local community. Would highly recommend!
I would definitely recommend this tour because you don't get only the opportunity to learn about history of Split but you also hear interesting stories and recommendations from local guide Mirjana. And she is the best one to do it. Full of knowledge, pleasant, super friendly and ready to answer all your questions. Best way to spend your time and money.
Wonderful experience with a wonderful guide! Very knowledgeable! Answered all our questions, gave wonderful suggestions for our free time in split! We definitely recommend her!
just wanted to drop a quick note to thank this amazing girl who helped us for organising the trip. It was absolutely fantastic. She helped to make our trip very special and memorable.
Mirjana invited me herself to come along on her tour with an Intrepid group. We started at the water side of Split with a tasting of a local drink called Rakija and with some photos. Mirjana as a host really made sure that I was included in the group since I joined the group later on. We continued the tour to the basements of Diocletian Palace which was ideal with the hot temperatures. The history of Diocletian was explained super well and she made the tour more enjoyable due to the many facts she shared. Then, we walked thru the small streets of Split and got to the Bell tower where at that time a show with knights was about to start. I really recommend this guiding tour in Split if you want to know more about the history of Split and have a laugh in between.
I had several guests from the USA and together we decided to have this tour with Mirjana, and it was the best thing we did in Split! Mirjana is a great guide, she really immerse herself in the story, and you can really see how Split is more than just a city for her, it is a home, and we felt very welcomed and all the stories we heard will definitely stay with us :) Would recommend to anyone visiting Split, do this first, and then you can roam the city by yourself and really enjoy it properly :)
This tour completely made our trip to Split! It means so much more when you understand the historical relevance of where you are and Mirjana was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She was a delight to be guided by and she also gave us some wonderful tips on where to eat! Incredibly friendly and helpful, we will be recommending her to our friends and hope to see her again ourselves
My wife and I had an amazing tour with Mirjana. She is so knowledgeable but also enthusiastic and engaging. From learning about the history of split and the Diocletian palace to the best things to do around town, this tour will not disappoint. Highly recommended!!
Mirjana was excellent. She showed us the beat parts of split and gave the best insight to its rich history and hidden gems. A pleasure to learn from her and walk the beautiful streets of split with her.
The walk and coffee with Mirjana was perfect. Relaxed, smiling, Mirjana tried to show us Split in a fun and very interesting way. A trip to Split with friends turned into a perfect day. Thank you Mirjana for everything.
Mirjana is really one of the best guides I have ever met and this tour was a great experience. She has a great insight in the city life, traditions and history. I loved the way she talked about her city, she was smiling all the time and I think that I have never had a guide how was so much in love with her city. That is something that I will always remember. I would definitely recommend Mirjana and this tour - she showed me where to find best coffee in Split and how to be a local for one day.
From the moment Mirjana greeted us with a smile, we knew we were in for a great experience. She is passionate and knowledgable about her city and this is evident even just spending five minutes on one of her walking tours. We loved walking and talking with her about Split and its history. I feel like I remember far more because it was so informal and chatty rather than feeling like we were being given a history lecture. Mirjana also has a hidden talent for photography and took the best pictures of us both that we got during our whole trip. Sitting and having a coffee and a chat was a lovely touch - we heard about Split, and Croatia as a whole country, from a local but we also shared stories about our own lives. It really was just like chatting with a new friend. I would really recommend booking yourself a walking tour with Mirjana - it was one of the highlights of our trip and is a really cool, unique way to see the city.
Mirjana was the best tour guide! Such a lovely experience on her tour today. She is funny, enthusiastic and has so much passion for telling the history and culture of her beautiful city. Knows all the best spots for coffee, chocolate and ATMs. She has amazing ideas for the best photos on the tour. And she will tell you to do funny things in the pictures but it’s worth it I promise! Was lovely to get to know her and see how she is known and loved by her colleges walking around split.
The best tour we have ever been on! Mirjana was personable and kind as well as being super interesting and knowledgeable. She had great answers to all our questions and it was genuinely a fascinating tour. 100% would recommend!
This was so much fun! Mirjana is fun to be with and easy to talk to. It's obvious she really enjoys sharing her knowledge about Split and Croatia. She not only took us to places with excellent coffee, but also gave us tips about ATMs, resources for websites, restaurant recommendations, historical facts and she connected us with a great transfer option for Dubrovnik. I'm so happy my friend and I did not leave Split before taking advantage of Mirjana's coffee Tour! Thanks so much!
Being born and raised in Split, I was pleasantly surprised to learn quite a few stories about my hometown! Mirjana's passion and deep love for Split shows while she's vividly explaining what was it to live in ancient Split vs what it looks like now. She is entertaining, competent, well informed and we had the most tasty coffee in Split! It would not be possible to say enough about Mirjana's qualities in terms of knowledge of ancient history of the city. I'm glad I took this tour because it was such a good experience and I see my dear Split differently.
Split is my home town and I love Split. I can say I love it even more after the tour. I have learned about Dioklecijan, the antique way of building, food, the old ways. This tour made me fall in love with my home town onece again. Thank you
Such amazing afternoon! Mirjana is passionate story teller who adores beautiful Split and it's past. Through an interesting story you get to know the details of the city that you will not read in any tourists guide. Time flies with her laugh and her amazing energy! And for sure story stays in yr head for long time, experience, good feeling and something new learned as well!! Thank you!!
This lady is on fire! The concept of this tour was the reason me&my friend decided to try it out. We are coffeeholics and are always interested in finding out places preferred by the locals. We nailed it this time 'cause this tour has it all, a great coffee and a charming lady who is so passionate about her hometown, interesting stories she shares and her mesmerising way of doing it gave us the best imaginable time in Split. We hit the jackpot with this one.
Mirjana has an incredible gift of immersing you within the history behind each part of where she takes you. Leaving you with a new perspective of the location you are walking around - I couldn’t recommend her enough! Not an ordinary tour guide 😌 She really lives up to her storyteller name! It’s almost like walking through the streets and experiencing all the history over the hundreds of years with your own eyes - like a walking movie. Her tours have a beautiful way of captivating anybody, from the mixture of Roman and Ottoman bricks left in walls you would normally never take a second looks at. To the history of places like Diocletian’s Palace and all the tales of the emperor from his youth such as him meeting a fortune teller who prophesied his destiny, leading to him proclaiming himself as god at the square we were stood at! It’s the way in which each tale is told and linked back to the place you are stood - it completely changes the way you walk around Split and anywhere else you have the pleasure of visiting with Mirjana. Mirjana is one of the most genuine people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and your whole day will be filled with a wonderful energy like no other. Not a dull moment at all, if anything it’ll make you want to explore the area on your own even more so! 10/10 recommendation from me - make sure to check out her Instagram and indulge yourself in an experience you won’t forget when in Croatia. ✌🏾
This summer we joined guided tour through Diocletian's palace with Mirjana and we enjoyed every minute of it! Split is an amazing city, we loved hidden streets and Mirjana's interesting stories which are a true mixture of historical facts and information about local everyday life. Mirjana's way of storytelling and her tour in general are the best way to find out what Split has to offer. The highlight of the tour was coffee tasting experience, which is not a typical coffee tasting, but drinking coffee while having a person to person conversation. All reccommendations for this tour and fabulous Mirjana! She's a star :)
I'm a student from Portugal doing my internship in Split. Last week I went on a walking tour with Mirjana and it was so amazing that I felt that I have to try the Coffee Tasting and Storytelling Walking Tour. It was such a unique way to learn more about the culture and traditions of Split, experience what it feels like to walk through the beautiful streets with a local and share some different experiences while we have some nice coffee. It was a great experience and I highly reccomend it! It's something that you won't have the opportunity to try in every country so in my opinion is tottally worth it! :)
Wow! All I can say is - wow! Being a coffee addict myself, I expected a coffee tasting tour with a typical tour around a city with a local guide,but - Mirjana's tour was so much more than that! I felt like I came back to some old friend who welcomed me open heartedly and who showed me the way of life in this beautiful city. Mirjana is an incredible guide. So knowledgeable and intelligent, but extremely charming, funny and entertaining in showing us around. We really appreciated her energy as she lifted us up not only with her stories but her attitude as well, and he showed as how the locals enjoy their daily habits. My partner and I, who decided to book a tour with her, really needed that boost as we were exhauasted and did not know which tour to book and what to do in Split.. we felt kind of lost. oh, yea, and we also loved the chocolate, soooo delicious! Highly recommend! Thank you Mirjana for this experience :) and thanks for reminding us that a little bit of hedonism goes a long way:)))
Imala sam više puta uživati u Mirjaninim turama. Svaki put uspjela je prilagoditi priču i ne ponavljati se, i svaki put sam naučila nešto novo o Splitu. Njena ljubaznost, srdačnost i pozitivnosti su doista osvježavajući i pomognu nam da napunio svoje baterije. Ona je zaljubljena u svoj grad i jako voli svoj posao , i to se da primjeniti. Najtoplije preporučam njene ture.
Odlična tura. Koncept ture više odgovara šetnji sa lokalnim prijateljem, koji te upoznaje sa lokalnim mjestima i stvarima, a na kraju meračite na kavi. Preporučam od srca!!!
Preporuka!!! Posebno onima koji putuju solo. Coffee tasting tura je odlicno koncipirana kao informativna setnja stoljetnim gradom, ali i kao prijateljasko druzenje u kojem saznate sve relevantne cinjenice o gradu. Gdje je najbolja kava (probate ju na turi), prica o maloj lokalnoj tvornici cokolade (probate ju na turi), posjetite neka mjesta, na koja sigurno sami ne biste otisli jer vam ih nitko nije otkrio. Idite na ovu turu i uzivajte!!!
