Fantastic Walking Tour of Sibenik

I had arranged for a walking tour with Ivana so that I could learn about the history of Sibenik and see things I would have missed otherwise. I was very happy with my tour: Ivana is a terrific guide. She has a lot of historical knowledge, was patient with my many questions, and was a pleasure to talk to. Highly recommended! Hvala, Ivana!

Operator response

Charming Town

Ivana was an excellent tour guide. Having been born and raised in Sibenik, she not only knew a lot of history, but shared personal anecdotes of life as a kid in the 90s during the war. She ended the tour showing us to an off the beaten path restaurant we never would have come across on our own, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch. Thanks to Ivana for showing us her lovely hometown.

Operator response

Thank you so much for the lovely review. It was a pleasure showing you around Šibenik. I’m glad you enjoyed the restaurant too. It was great having you on the tour. Hope to see you back in Šibenik someday! 😊

Thank you for your review. It was a real pleasure showing your family around Šibenik and sharing some of the city’s history and stories with you. I’m especially happy and glad that your teenage daughters enjoyed the tour. And I’ll definitely remember our little “sombra” mission. It was lovely having you all with me. Wishing you many more beautiful family travels, and I hope to see you again one day.

Incredible Guide!Amazing tour!!

My walking tour of Šibenik's Old Town with Ivana was absolutely amazing! Ivana is an excellent tour guide,incredibly knowledgeable and eager to share beautiful insights about this stunning UNESCO World Heritage site. She took me through all the major highlights, seamlessly blending the different historical eras of the city, from the breathtaking St. James's Cathedral to the surrounding fortresses. ​What really stood out to me were the unique details she pointed out that I might have missed on my own, like the fascinating historic clocks, including a water clock and a Roman numeral clock. If you are visiting Šibenik, this cultural tour is absolutely not to be missed. Thank you, Ivana, for a wonderful experience!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your beautiful words. Spending the morning with you felt less like work and more like sharing my hometown with a friend. I truly believe every place becomes a little more special because of the people we meet there, and I'm so happy we had the chance to meet. I hope Šibenik brings a smile to your face whenever you think of it. Wishing you safe travels and many more moments that stay with you long after the journey is over. Here's to more adult money, more adventures, and more moments you'll never forget.

Charming Šibenik

This tour was exactly what we were looking for! Ivana provided a wonderful look into the life and history of Šibenik. As a local, who grew up here, she was able to articulate how the city grew during the good times and how the people survived during the hard times. Her description of the Croatian inventors, artists and leaders gave us insight into how this wonderful country impacted the region and the world. Ivana’s charming personality was both lighthearted and professional making this a great experience. Highly recommended!!!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your beautiful words. It was such a pleasure spending time with you and getting to know you a little along the way. One of the things I love most about this job is that complete strangers can meet for a couple of hours and leave feeling like friends. Maybe that's the magic of little towns. Hallmark certainly seems to think so. ;) I hope Šibenik became your own little Loveland, a place you'll always remember with a smile. Thank you for sharing a little piece of your journey with me. I hope our paths cross again someday. Ivana

A tour to remember!

From the moment we met Ivana, we knew she was an expert - not only speaking excellent English, but also sharing from an abundance of knowledge and understanding about the fascinating city of Sibenik. She went above and beyond what we imagined and was willing to keep answering our many questions- we were struck by how generous and winsome she was throughout the tour.

Perfect Excursion for 1st time or repeat visitors to Sibenik

Exceptional tour! Perfect for 1st time visitor to Sibenik, especially for cruises. Our guide Ivana was wonderful in planning the excursion weeks in advance, setting up a very easy meeting point only a short walk from the ship and then in tailoring the highlights we saw while we walked the streets of Old Sibenik. She grew up in the town with her family who still live within the city walls so you get a visual history lesson from someone who knows it first hand. Our group of 4 had a wonderful and very enjoyable 3.5 hours with Ivana in her town. Great first stop in Croatia!

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking the time to write the review. I really enjoyed spending the afternoon with all four of you and sharing my hometown stories and memories. You were such a lovely and curious group to walk with, which always makes the experience even more special for me as a guide. I’m glad Šibenik became such a beautiful first memory of Croatia for you. Wishing you many more wonderful moments and safe travels ahead!

Perfect Local Guide

My family of 4 had a wonderful tour with Ivana! We learned a lot about Sibenik and my girls (ages 10 & 13) picked up some fun facts along the way. It’s rare to have a tour guide who grew up in the old town and still lives there - her perspective was fascinating. Definitely recommend this tour!
