Overview

Discover the charm & history of Split like a local on our small-group tour! Not only will you visit the city's most famous attractions, but you'll also have the unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the fascinating history, myths, and legends that have shaped Split into one of Europe's most romantic destinations. I will share tips and tricks how to make the most of your time in Split and Croatia in general. Whether it's finding the best local restaurant, place to see or avoiding the crowds, I've got you covered. Please note that the price of this tour is higher than other tours in the area.

It is a unique, tailor-made experience designed to provide you with the most personalized and authentic exploration of Split. Join me on this unforgettable tour, and let's create lasting memories together!

Itinerary

  • Riva Harbor

    We'll start our tour on the Riva waterfront. Riva is where we spend our winter, drinking coffee & enjoying the sun. Every generation in Split has a favourite corner on the Riva promenade, and every corner hides a story. Join me for a tour of the Split old town. Let's have a great time exploring the centuries-old tradition of tasteful food. I will share the forgotten stories and show you the unusual but functional architecture in the old town and the Palace area.

    15 minutes

  • Temple of Jupiter

    Leaving the waterfront, we will enter the Substructures of the Palace and walk towards the Temple of Jupiter. The location was chosen to signify the divine connection between the emperor Diocletian and Jupiter. The Ancient Roman God of the sky and thunder & king of the Gods. During the Middle Ages, the Temple was converted into a baptistery dedicated to St. John the Baptist

    10 minutes

  • Let Me Pass (Pusti me da prodjem) Street

    On our way to see the temple of Jupiter, we will walk through a small street, placed between the ancient temple and medieval building - now a hotel. Local people believe this is the narrowest street in town. The local name is "The let me pass street".

    2 minutes

  • The Peristyle of Diocletian's Palace

    Leaving small narrow streets we are now at Peristil, the open space of the imperial square. I will share intriguing stories that happened behind the city walls, stories about traditional and modern Split and our slow way of life (pomalo = take it easy, way of life).

    15 minutes

  • Cathedral of Saint Domnius

    Standing on the only square within the palace - Peristil, you can not miss seeing the beautiful and tall bell tower. Almost hidden behind it, protected, is the Cathedral of Split. One of the smallest and oldest cathedrals in the world.

    10 minutes

  • Nadalina cokolada

    The day is better if we add a bit of chocolate to it. Walking towards the end of our tour, we will stop at one of my favourite chocolate places- Nadalina. I will share some stories about food production, while we have samples of locally flavoured chocolate.

    8 minutes

  • The Golden Gate

    The Golden Gate (Latin: Porta Aurea) is one of the four main Roman gates into the Diocletian's Palace. The gate is on the road to the north, towards Salona, the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia and Diocletian's birthplace. You will hear about the antique military strategy in the Palace and discover some hidden buildings nearby.

    10 minutes

  • Grgur Ninski Statue

    The northern wall of the Place, in front of the sculpture of Grgur Ninski, is where we will end our tour. Here, we are surrounded by the 4th-century antique wall, 20th-century art and modern life today. We will respect the local tradition here and make a wish. Thank you for walking with me and allowing me to share my love for my town with you.

A Heartfelt, Insightful Tour with Mirjana – A True Highlight of Our Trip

Published on May, 2025

We joined Mirjana's walking tour of Split on 8 May via Guruwalk, and it was one of the most memorable and heartwarming experiences of our trip. From the start, Mirjana was warm, responsive and welcoming — even over text. This meant so much to us, especially as we had found some of our interactions with locals to be a bit distant. Her openness and friendliness immediately made us feel comfortable and cared for. What made her tour truly special was that it wasn’t just another run-of-the-mill sightseeing experience filled with rehearsed lines or jokes. Mirjana brought genuine passion, deep knowledge and heartfelt storytelling. You could tell she loves Split — not just as a city, but as a living, evolving community. She shared not only historical facts, but also meaningful reflections on how Split’s culture and identity have been shaped through time. She connected the past with the present, and the personal with the collective, in a way that made everything feel alive. She also wove in her own values and principles, encouraging us to embrace cultures thoughtfully and respectfully. At the end of the tour, she gave us wonderful local recommendations (which we loved!) and practical tips on how we, as visitors, can support the local community without disrupting the balance of daily life. It was incredibly moving to see how deeply she cares for her home and its people. Mirjana even told us to reach out if we ever needed help or had questions — an offer that was so reassuring to hear as travelers. Our only regret? Not joining her tour on our first day in Split. It would have enriched our entire stay so much more. Thank you, Mirjana, for such a meaningful experience. You’re not just a guide — you’re an ambassador of your city’s soul.

Best way to understand Split

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable of the history and culture of Split. Her tour was not only informative but also captivating. She was experienced at moving through the town and finding the best places. A wonderful experience. Would highly recommend her tour.

I've had a pleasure of working with Mirjana for years as a tour leader and having her on our trips visiting Split has been invaluable! While Split's busy streets can be overwhelming, having someone who knows all the hidden gems and shares stories only few locals know will make a big difference on how you percieve this gorgeuos city. Cannot recommend her enough!

Don't miss this tour!
