Yes, people still live here. That’s what makes Split so special. You’re not stepping into a museum. You’re stepping into someone’s neighborhood.
I keep the group small — never more than 15 people — so you can ask questions, hear clearly, and enjoy a more personal, relaxed pace. No umbrellas in the air. No rushing.

If you’re wondering anything before or during the tour — ask. There are no silly questions here.
If you feel the tour added something meaningful to your visit, a respectful tip of 15 to 20 euros per person is the usual way to say thank you. It’s a kind gesture for the time, care and stories I share along the way.
