The best - A highlight of our whole holiday. Anton was funny, engaging, incredibly knowledgeable and interesting despite the 43 degree heat - he knew basically everything about the political and cultural history of our countries to link the tour to things which were relevant to us. It's a sign of a great tour guide when their enthusiasm makes you feel like it's the first time they've had to do it! Don't hesitate if you want to learn about the history and culture of this amazing place!

Not Recommended - We were disappointed in this tour. Doris, the lady in yellow, was very friendly and invited us to join. We came later in the week. Anton was the guide. He’s very friendly as well but we got very little history about Split or the palace. He rambled quite a lot and had some cringy things to say about some different cultures. He stayed in some spots way too long though he commented he had been told before to show rather than tell and keep the group moving. More people joined our group in the first 45 minutes. It became hard to hear the guide as more people came. The tour lasted much longer than an hour and a half but we decided to leave early. I would not recommend this tour. I even came online to find the listing to give a warning—and I have not submitted many reviews on Trip Advisor before.
