What to expect
You'll meet your guide in Split and begin a walking tour through the city's streets and landmarks. Rather than stopping at sites to list historical facts, the guide uses physical locations as starting points to discuss identity, belief systems, and the narratives that have shaped regional conflict and contemporary Croatia. Tablet-based visual materials are presented during the tour to contextualise and deepen these themes.
The tour moves at a conversational pace, inviting questions and reflection. It wraps after approximately 2 hours, aiming to leave you with a framework for understanding why these divisions persist and how they've shaped modern identity rather than a collection of dates or names.
