Great tour with Lea!! Good pace and knowledge of the history. Without the history she provided we would have wandered around without understanding the big picture. Recommended this tour highly!

Let’s start with what was really great; Vanna was very knowledgeable and kind and brought this place to life. The downside is it was incredibly crowded and it felt like we could’ve learned more about some of the history.
we had a fun tour learning about the roman empire, the active life of the palace, the personality of the emperor. lea made the history come alive!
Lea was a knowledgeable guide and very nice. And prompt in meeting with us. She was open to any questions we had and gave us great local recommendations.
Lea was an excellent tour guide. I would encourage anyone going to Split to take this tour on the first day. Lea was very knowledgeable and provided in depth history of the palace and surrounding areas. She also provided great suggestions on places to eat and places to relax while sipping on our favorite drinks. Thank You Lea.
Great tour! Our guide, Lea, was lovely, engaging and knowledgeable! A perfect mix of ancient and modern Split history. It was a great introduction to Split (even though I had broken my foot before the tour and had difficulty walking)! We also appreciated that Lea made an extra effort to show us the synagogue and share some interesting facts about the local Jewish community. Highly recommend!!
Lea was an excellent tour guide. We did this tour the first day of our visit to Split which gave us a great overview of the city for the rest of our stay. Lea knew a lot of the history and answered all of our questions. She was friendly and accommodating, meeting us at our hotel to start the tour. She showed us so much in the 2 hours we had together. She did not rush and stayed extra time to give recommendations. I highly recommend getting a tour. Split is small and easy to navigate but if you do not have a guide you do not understand what you are looking at. Lea, thank you for a fantastic introduction to Split, we hope to visit again!
Excellent. Lea took us throughout the palace. Was able to summarize thousands of years of history in a few hours. Overall terrific experience.
Lea was so helpful and knowledgeable about Split. I enjoyed the story about the city. We visited all the famous sites. I would certainly recommend her highly. She is very personable and fun to be with. Thank you for all!
Lea was an amazing tour guide! We were having fun, enjoying our tour and got to know the city under a completely new light. She knew everything that we'd asked her and introduced us to the history of the city in a fun way. I would recommend her to anyone who is planning on visiting Split and wants to visits all the important and interesting sites.
Split was a great surprise and it became the city I loved the most in Croatia! It is super beautiful and worth the visit! Of course it became even more amazing after learning everything and knowing the curiosities of each corner during the guided tour done by Lea! She was superbe, her explanaitions were on point and her excitement talking about Split was contagious! If you love History just like I do, please do a Split Guided Tour with Lea, you won't regret it! "Nima Splita, Do Splita!" ❤️
Lea was a fantastic guide for our first trip to Croatia. The depth of her knowledge, and love for her city is clear to anyone. We had a great time and learned a lot about this fantastic city. We definitely recommend taking her tour!
Very professional and interesting city tour. Lea is very charming young girl with a lot of knowledge. Great experience!
Best tour I've had in forever!! Lea was fantastic! She has so much knowledge and imparts it perfectly! I was fascinated from start to finish. Thank you!!!
My fiancé and I spent two days in Split exploring with Lea. She was personable, funny, and informative. While with her, it felt like we have been friends for years. She gave incredible insight into this beautiful city and showed us all of the highlights we would not be able to see on our own in only two days. She was incredibly attentive and malleable. After two years of no travel to Europe, Lea was just the right person to take us around during our vacation. I highly recommend her. Jessica Klumper
Lea was an excellent guide! She was flexible, attentive, friendly, and made our whole experience in Split magical. Lea gave a thorough history of the city, architecturally as well as culturally. The tour was filled with interesting facts and fun stories. We would not take another tour without her, and highly recommend her tours! Thank you Lea!
Lea was fabulous! Great conversationalist, she was able to provide in-depth information and she didn't overwhelm us (we are family with 2 children - 10 and 13 years old) Speed of tour was perfect! We felt as if we were walking around the city with a friend who was sharing their knowledge. We highly recommend Lea and all her tours!
This tour was amazing! Lea is knowledgeable and friendly. She took us to all of the best places within Diocletian’s palace and gave a very extensive informative tour along the way. We highly recommended Lea's tour. :)
Amazing time with Lea in Split!! I contacted her months before and she custom made a perfect family tour. Her English is great and her history and knowledge was world class. She made our two days in Split perfect. Restaurant recommendations were spot on. We learned so much from Lea and she became our friend during the time spent together. If you are coming to Split let her be your personal tour guide. Thank you Lea!
We had an amazing time with Lea in Split! She represents everything a great guide should be: smart, informative, and open-minded. She knows the history of the city and explains it well. She gave us amazing recommendations for restaurants and activities. You could not ask for a better guide!
We were fortunate to have Lea as our guide in Split. She was knowledgeable about the history of the Diocletian Palace and had a wonderful way of imparting the information without it being too dry. We heard many other guides during the course of the day and honestly we would have lost interest. The two hours with Lea flew by. I would not hesitate to recommend her versus a big walking group. Even in the off season, the crowds of tourists walking through the palace is quite large and she easily maneuvered us through the area recommending places to eat, where to purchase souvenirs, etc. We greatly enjoyed our time with Lea (Lay-a).
Lea was very kind and pleasant. The tour was very informative and had some really cool insights. Highly recommended!
Charming Guide and predisposition, brilliant knowledge, very attentive and passion for your work and your city. Grateful for letting us know a beautiful Split and beautiful person Salu
Excelente persona. Muy comprometida con su trabajo y aprendimos muchísimo de Split. Deberían hacerlo para conocer la historia y los acontecimientos. Gracias. Recomendación 100%
Pleasant tour of the historic center with Lea, illustrating us with his explanations during the tour. Very nice time.
