Split to Dubrovnik - From the moment we landed we were greeted with an amazing driver, guide and historian. His name is Sime. He is a local of Split and is a true countryman. He drove us to the best views and recommended some wonderful restaurants that were absolutely fire. Sime was our driver but he should definitely be giving tours as well. Our tour guide, Marin, was excellent. English was just about perfect and he is also a local who is extremely knowledgeable of his city and country. Overall 10/10 experience.

This town has a lot of history and our guide Marin was fantastic at explaining all of it. Great way to spend the morning walking around the sellers of Diocletian Palace. Great tour for any history buff. Highly recommended while in split.

Highly recommend this agency!! - Perfecta Travel helped us with scheduling tours and transfers in Dubrovnik and Split. Ivan was our main contact who helped me all through the planning & execution process. He was responsive, patient, and very well organized. We are a family of five with kids ages 10, 13, & 16 and having Ivan’s assistance during our visit was so valuable. Everything was just so efficiently & professionally done. They arranged Dubrovnik city walls, cable car & old town walking tour, full-day blue cave & five island tour, culinary experience & walking tour in Split, and Mali Ston oyster tastings tour. They also arranged transfers between Dubrovnik & Split and ride to/from Krka national park to view waterfalls. I was especially concerned about the Covid test for our return flight but Ivan arranged for it to be completed after a tour & it went off without a hitch. I would highly recommend Perfecta for your Croatia visit.

Split walking tour - Went on a walking tour of Split with this agency a week ago. Since I am a history buff I had a great time with our local tour guide who was quite knowledgeable about Split's history from antic times to today. We went around the old city core and I found so much history about every segment of this beautiful town. The guide also gave me pro tips where to buy souvenirs for my family and where locals eat. Food is absolutely magnificent here on Mediterranean. I hope I will revisit this beautiful town again in future, so glad I did the tour with this company. Thank you

A great trip through ancient history and modern environment, you can learn a lot and enjoy the trip. - Hey, for everyone to know this walking tour was great! During the tour I discovered rare peaces of UNESCO protected monuments such as Diocletian’s palace, both interior and exterior. We were walking through the medieval streets which was pretty amazing and I actually saw that many things still stayed the same as when the Romans lived 18 centuries ago. I enjoyed all impressive sites, for example mausoleum which became the grand cathedral, how cool is that. Furthermore, I enjoyed Peristyle, Golden gate, huge number of statues, Venetian palaces and much more. The people were great, the organisation also and the guide was charming and he knew a lot about history. The thing I liked the most was climbing 60m up the Saint Domnius bell tower, I must admit i was a bit scary going so high, but It was worth it because on the top I enjoyed spectacular views of entire Split, of the Bay of Kastela and huge surrounding mountains. The whole trip took about one hour and thirty minutes and I think that is plenty of time to visit this place and it is not too long I didn't get too tired. One helpful tip is to ask your guide where is best to buy souvenirs and local food and treats, because they are delicious and the guide knows all the local folks and where you can find the best products. The overall service of the agency was great and facilities like restrooms are on multiple places close to the route of this tour.
