Igor was the best guide ever. Tremendous knowledge and very personable. Highly recommend Igor and this walking tour.
Wonderful tour with an excellent story teller. The city is the star of the show and Igor gives the history as a charming tale. Just what we were looking for. Would not miss this. We felt it was time well spent.
My husband and I had a private evening walking/history tour with Igor. What a brilliant experience. It was great fun, really informative and it gave us a valuable insight into Šibenik and the surrounding area. We learned about the culture, history, people ... Igor has a great perspective, not being originally from the area, and he shares the local beliefs and traditions learned from his family here. A charming, warm and welcoming introduction to the region. An absolute must for the beginning of your holiday.
I highly recommend this tour as it provides a great informational background on the town of Sibenik. Yes you can just visit Sibenik and take in the beautiful atmosphere, but this tour really provides you with an understanding of the history and a deeper appreciation of the town. Igor is extremely knowledgeable of the history of the town and you can tell he took the extra effort to really research more details on his own to find the truth. He provides a great approach to touring by providing a light hearted vibe while also being fully thorough in his presentation of the city.
Igor Ianachi was fantastic. Saw the city and heard about the history in an interesting and fun way. Igor was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. Would definitely book a tour with him again!
Igor gave us a fantastic tour of Šibenik. His passion of the history itself and love of the region was apparent all tour. We especially appreciated the local insights and to hear the history and potential interpretations that we wouldn’t have got from the official texts. We left with a love of the town and would highly recommend to others.
Igor was charming & knowledgeable. We learned so much about Šibenik and Croatia. We’d highly recommend this tour to anyone.
Honestly this is the best tour I’ve ever taken! Beyond a tour guide, Igor is a passionate historian who will give you an amazing amount of information that he makes easily digestible with fascinating stories and humor! Can’t wait to come back and do more tours with him. If you don’t add an Igor tour to your agenda you are missing out!
We had an amazing walking tour with Igor in Sibeni, which exceeded our expectations, even though we read the other reviews previously. Igor is extremely knowledgeable and fun at the same time. He also does his own research of Sibenik history which he is really passionate about. During our tour we also learned about his roots in Croatia and Sibenik, how he fell in love with this wonderful city. We really enjoyed the time with Igor, his is a real professional and a charming person. We would highly recommend his tours to anyone.
Igor is a fantastic guide! Our tour was both highly informative and full of fun. His deep historical knowledge amazed us, especially the way he connected events in Šibenik with other times and countries. He also shared wonderful stories about local food, culture, and traditions that brought the city to life. And as a sweet surprise, he even gave us little souvenirs at the end of the tour—such a thoughtful touch!
