Fabulous Guide for Split and elsewhere in Croatia
We found Jelena on Trip Advisor and after an email and a call, we decided she was the perfect person to arrange a custom trip for us to see Croatia in 5 days. We are so glad we did! Her communications with us were most complete and she understood our wishes for the trip very well. We loved everything. Her planning for us was perfect and took into consideration all our preferences. The hotels she recommended were great, as were the restaurants. All the guides she selected for us (five, as we were in different cities) were very knowledgeable and warm and friendly. We especially loved our time with Jelena herself touring Diocletian's palace in Split, and the Mestrovic house was among our highlights. What a joy to discover such a magnificent artist that we never heard of! I especially loved being able to reach out to her and make last minute changes while we were there without any hassle or drama. Things we didn’t like: the hotel we chose at Plitvice Lakes was spartan, no wifi, not great dinner, so travelers: do your research! Also be aware that you are not allowed to swim in National Parks. Second, we did not realize that the catamaran to Hvar had no possibility to be outdoors. Being COVID paranoid, sitting indoors for an hour with unmasked crowds was a bit scary. I wish we had known in advance. To us, the definition of a catamaran is a big sailboat on pontoons, all outdoors. As much as we loved Hvar, we would have discussed another way to get there or maybe done something else that day. This is our fault as we never asked her what the boat was. However, the good things way way way outweighed the bad and thanks to Jelena for an unforgettable experience of learning about her amazing country. Being able to arrange everything for the entire trip either through her or with her recommendations in hand made the trip quite easy to plan, and carefree while we were there.

Best guide and travel agent!
We originally reached out to Jelena for a private walking tour of Split, but once I found out she was also a travel agent, she helped me plan other things - excursions, ferry transfer, airport transfer, made restaurant recommendations and helped with reservations in both Hvar and Split. She planned a traditional lunch for us in Hvar that was amazing and the best meal we had during the trip, and the owners of the restaurant were so gracious. She steered us toward a nicer boat for our island excursions to Vis and I'm glad she did. The boat was awesome and made the tour so much better. Our driver, Marin, in the "pope mobile" at the Ferry Port in Split was quite the adventure! Make sure you ask for that, lol. She was the best guide we had during the trip, she is very engaging, speaks English fluently and super friendly. Prior to our trip, she was very prompt with responding to emails, and then set up a Zoom to hammer out details. She does require the money up front via wire transfer but once we met via Zoom, I felt very comfortable with the arrangement. It was better then carrying all that cash around. For some reason most of the tour operators require cash. I absolutely recommend Jelena as a guide and travel agent!
