About Tour Guide Lea B.
Hello! My name is Lea, Split is my hometown and I'm a licensed tour guide for Split-Dalmatia, Dubrovnik-Neretva and Šibenik-Knin county, both in English and Spanish language. I was born in Split, I have been living here for more than 20 years and I'm passionate about sharing its beauty and culture!
I got my Master's degree in Marketing, at Faculty of Economics here in Split. Following my university studies, I moved to Barcelona to do an internship before returning back to Split. I have always enjoyed learning languages, travelling and experiencing different cultures. Soon after graduation I have realised that office job doesn't suit me and I started to work as a tour guide, which was the best decision I have ever made!
When I'm not tour guiding, I love to learn languages - I can speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and French. Yoga is also one of my passions, I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) by International Yoga Alliance.
Local gastronomy has always interested me, so I decided to do a course for a wine consultant to get to know more about the rich wine history in Croatia.
In my free time, I love long walks with my dog and reading books.
I absolutely love my job and cannot wait to share with you all the beauties that the city of Split and the region of Dalmatia have to offer! If you were looking for a private guide to experience the region like a true local - you are right where you should be!

The Best of Split: Private walking tour
Split is my hometown and I would love you to see it through the eyes of a local. I can't wait to show you those hidden gems that people often miss when traveling independently! Split has more than 1700 years of history and it's a unique example in the whole world of a living, breathing city that grew inside of an ancient roman palace!
Trogir and Split - Visit two UNESCO sites
At a mere thirty kilometers in distance we will visit and explore two cities under UNESCO's protection: Diocletian's palace along with the historical core of Split, and the historical core of the city of Trogir. Every step made among the stone houses and palaces of Trogir and Split is an exceptional experience.
The Jewish Heritage of Split - private walking tour
During this tour I will tell you why the Jewish community in Split enjoyed a special status and why Split would not be the same without it! For a relatively small city with a dominantly catholic tradition, Jewish heritage in Split makes an incredibly important part of history. They had a considerable influence on the local economy - they built a free port and opened the first bookshops. The Jewish community of Split is one of the oldest in Europe.

“Cycling the waterfront and Marjan Park”
Lea showed us the old city, but is not a cyclist, so she connected us with an amazing colleague who is a cyclist. The whole day was outstanding. Both Lea and Mijo are wonderful local guides , very knowledgeable, great hospitality, and friendly. We are recommending Lea to our friends without hesitation.

“Outstanding hospitality”
We highly recommend Lea! She makes you feel very welcome and is highly knowledgeable. She went out of her way to make sure many aspects of our stay in Split met our expectations. In addition to showing us around the ancient city sites, we asked her to recommend a cycling guide in Split and one in Hvar. We are expert cyclists, and both guides she referred us to were absolutely top notch! She also directed us to great restaurants. Thank you Lea for making our stay in Croatia exceed expectations!
