As history lovers, we found this tour perfect. We really enjoyed our casual walk with Mirjana around Split Old Town and all she had to share about Split, Croatia, its people and their history. The small taste of local treats was a nice accompaniment to the tour.

Itinerary
Our journey will begin with a breathtaking view of the old town and Diocletian's palace. Then, we will walk to our first stop. A bite of Dalmatian delicates and I will share some local stories and tell you about the ways we prepare food.
This is where we'll stop to talk to vendors, see what they've made, and taste it. Farmers' products tell the most compelling stories.
Did you know Split was born within the walls of the Diocletian palace? We will walk around to see ancient houses blended with modern architectural solutions. We will start our journey below the city and walk our way up to the narrow streets and modern city of Split.
We'll make a delightful stop to taste award-winning chocolate directly from a local producer at their cozy mini shop.
On our way to make a wish by rubbing a toe on the majestic Grgur Ninski statue, we will stop to taste the award-winning local chocolate.

Mirjana was a wonderful guide! She was friendly and insightful, and helped introduce us to the city of Split. She combined storytelling about the food with a history of the country and the people. We felt like we were having a coffee with a friend - she took her time and we never felt rushed :)
Mirjana was a wonderful guide. She adapted the schedule and tour for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk through history, discussion on current affairs and of course the food and coffee.
Been on quite a few tours in my life and this one was by far and none the best. Mirjana really makes you imagine what it was like living during the Roman Empire era. Thought I knew all there was to know about Split and even Croatia but boy was I wrong. She even goes into depth about Croatia's many battles and wars from the past to most recent war for independence in the 90's. 10 out of 10 well worth it, you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Mirjana, do sljedećeg put!!
Mirjana took my wife, my daughter and her partner and my son around her town of Split last week. It was without a doubt the BEST walking tour I have ever done in ANY city. It was impassioned, inciteful, interesting, funny, moving, historical, and completely enjoyable from start to finish. We were with Mirjana for about two and a half hours but we could have liked to have been with her for two and a half days. We all loved it. We walked past various hisorical sites and learned about much more than just the history since Mirjana and her family a truly local. She has a deep understanding of how life in Split has changed over the decades and centuries. She has a feeling for people and culture, and she shared it with us in such a beautiful and engaging manner, we hung onto her every word. We stopped in a few shops, sampled some local BURRATA, and met some artisans she knows. It was unforgettable. If you are planning a trip to Split I would implore you to book a walk with Mirjana. Mirjana - THANK YOU! If ever you are visiting Melbourne, Australia please please look us up. We would be honoured to host you and return the incredible experience!
I have been on several walking tours and my tour of Split with Mirjana tops the list. Her knowledge, energy, and ability to personally connect and engage made this a most memorable and wonderful experience. She is a delight. Not only did I learn about this history of Split but the Croatian culture and what daily life is life for Croatians today. As she said, every corner has a story, and she is a great storyteller!!
Mirjana was just wonderful. She was tuned in to our particular interests and needs. This was the perfect tour for us and I sense that Mirjana adjusts what she does to fit the needs of her tour members. So often, guides tend to force members of a tour group to listen to canned presentations, whether there is interest or not. Mirjana was careful not to do this. She also took us to a couple of places more frequented by locals, which is exactly what we enjoy.
Had THE BEST with Mirjana. Was an awesome time, made even better that she isn't a "typical" Croatian tour guide, ako have a tendency of being a bit dry abd rehearsed. Mirjana is authentic and enthusiastic. Just heed my advice, if you want a great time, book her!!!
Absolutely legend. Extremely well done tour with great personal touch Would definitely recommend Best tour
The tour was great, Mirjana answered all my questions and showed me what it is really like to live in Split as a local. Her knowledge of the old times is wonderful and the way she presents the history is engaging. Highly recommend the tour with her if you want to know about the modern and the history of Split as a whole.
Knowing Split with Mirjana was like traveling back in time. We fell in love with the city and its history thanks to its wonderful story. We really enjoyed discovering the traces of the past in every corner. Thank you so much for making us never forget the city of Split.
walked to the streets and listened to the narration of the most significant events of the city and you feel like the past is vibrating in every corner and tight labyrinthic road. Mirjana is an amazing storyteller, her voice helps keep the city alive
Great time, better guide. The tour with Mirjana was fabulous, she is charming and full of stories. The history explanation she gave us really helps to understand a little more about Split. The tour was very entertaining, she knew every moment how to kept our attention. I think is the best guide we ever had since we have been used Civitatis. Mirjana, thank you a lot.
Fantastic walking tour of Split with Mirjana. Her passion for the city’s history is contagious. Cant recommend her enough.
An awesome tour by Mirjana! Felt like my trip to Split got fulfilled only after a tour guided by Mirjana. An awesome story teller!
Mirjana is a fantastic guide! You can see she is passionate about her city and the stories she is telling are a great way to discover more about the history. Had a nice afternoon walking around the Palace with her, highly recommand!
This was the best tour I had in a long time. She did an amazing job guiding us through the town and sharing all the stories about the Diocletian’s Palace. It was fascinating! A great way to spend an afternoon in Split!
The tour was amazing! She put emotion and passion in each word and make you feel how much she care! Súper suggested if you are looking for a tour of the city with a local guide who knows what she is saying!
This is a wonderfully unique tour of Split 3. Lead by the informed and enthusiastic guide, Mirjana. Mirjana grew up in this neighborhood of Split so offers a personalized account of life in Split, influenced by more recent history(since 1970). She focuses attention mainly on the architecture in the area, designed for city communal living which gracefully invites deeper understanding of Croatian people and their values. Highly recommend!
We walked in a special part of Split, an interesting project, an utopian idea, a dream for all. In Split 3 you'll see and feel what is like to grow up in a well design area, not well as beautiful but as useful, design for the people, for them to life happily. Mirjana is doing it because she loves it and she just share it with the world, you just can see it as she are happy and sparkle when locals or herself are explaining by how it was growing up in this special neighborhood. A good experience, I've planned an other Tour (in the old Split) with her.
Mirjana took us to an incredible tour through "brutal" Split and made us feel this particular quality of life inhabitants of these neighbourhoods have inherited from the Utopian urbanistic project of first modern architects in Yougoslavia. Very well documented on the history of the Split 3 project, lots of interesting details to discover in every corner of this walk, plus Mirjana is very hearty woman, and passionate about this neighbourhood she actually grew up in. Now I want to live there too 🙃 !
One of the best walking tours I have done! Mirjana is warm, friendly and passionate about her culture and sharing the history of Split! If you want a true local experience book this tour! I learned so much about the history, culture and people of Croatia. It made experiencing the area a million times more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour!
Hvala Mirjani na danasnjem predivnom iskustvu. Divna osoba i storyteller-ica. Na zanimljiv i edukativan nacin prica o povijesti, kulturi, nacinu zivota u Splitu i Dalmaciji. Do sad najbolja turisticka tura na kojoj sam bila. Sve pohvale!
