Visit to Dalmatian Coast, Croatia - We a group of 20 had an excellent experience with our tour guide Viktoria during our visit to Trogir and Split on 25 and 26 March 2026. Her knowledge of Diocletians Palace was incredible. She explained the 1700 years history in a very easy to understand manner. In Trogir she took us through the narrow streets and made us see the the hidden architectural gems. She came across as a very friendly person. She was able to keep the attention of the group with her impeccable English and corelated things with the past history. I strongly recommend her to someone looking for a guide in Split and Trogir.

She was very knowledgable of all the history of Croatia, and Split of course! She was passionate about it and made history and historic events very interesting and enjoyable even for my young children, that absolutely loved her! She was so kind, joyful, calm, patient and we felt as if we were her friends! Viktoria made us feel so welcomed in her town, and we definently really enjoyed the whole tour, the beautiful places we visited and overall her company! We loved Split because of Viktoria and we cant wait to come back! Her kindness with my children will never be forgotten! We all loved Viktoria! Thank you so much for such a beautiful day!

A splendid day in Split - We asked our concierge for a private historical tour guide for Split. He highly recommended Viktoria. She was extremely knowledgable, and very generous with her time. She was highly flexible in the type of tour she gave us and was able to delve deep into history for my husband and sprinkle in Game of Thrones for me. Viktoria is a wonderful individual, with a warm personality. We highly recommend Viktoria for anyone traveling to Split!

Amazing guide and tour! - We had an excellent and very informative tour from Viktoria. Her energy and enthusiasm was infectious and it felt like we were being shown round by an old friend. The tour was extensive and we felt we saw so much more than looking round ourselves. We all enjoyed the tour and would thoroughly recommend Viktoria.
