On a private walk, you'll experience the city through local eyes, discovering the stories behind the landmarks, the hidden corners beyond the guidebooks, and the small details that bring Šibenik to life.

Your guide

Meet Ivana

Ivana is a licensed local guide, officially certified by the Croatian Ministry of Tourism, and born and raised in Šibenik. Before becoming a full-time guide, she worked as an English teacher. This experience shaped her ability to communicate clearly and connect with both curious children and history-loving adults.

She shares the city not just as a destination, but as the place she calls home: its legends, quiet corners, and personal stories that bring its history to life. On her Homeland War tours, she also shares her own childhood memories of Šibenik during the early 1990s.

“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.”
