Don’t Miss Out on this Tour! - We had the most wonderful experience with Mia! She was extremely knowledgeable and made the entire tour enjoyable with her wit, sense of humor, and engaging style. She even ended the tour with a list of recommended restaurants, coffee shops, experiences, and more! Highly recommend booking this tour! We learned so much and had a great time.

Lovely way to explore the city - Lovely overview of the city, nicely paced walk. Our guide Mia was amazing, very knowledgeable and friendly.
I appreciate the team’s commitment and respect during today’s severe weather: I initially booked the 1pm tour and the guides showed up as scheduled at the Golden Gate. Due to the terrible weather, they offered a refund or rescheduling the tour which I believe was the best way to deal with the situation.
Thank you team.

Fun Tour of the Walled City in Split - We booked this tour last minute for September 24 after our cruise tour was cancelled. What a stroke of luck! Our guide was so much fun. She actually lives in the walled city with her family and knows the city and its history well ( I think her name is Jane?) She managed the tour well from start to finish beginning with calling in another guide when the tour was overbooked. She had a great sense of humor and at the end of the tour she gave us directions to a neighborhood where we found an excellent local restaurant for lunch.

Walking tour with Slavko - Slavko was our tour guide and actually amazing. He knew so much and was so passionate about the history of the palace and everything he talked about. He had so much knowledge and showed a lot of care about the experience. Every question we asked he had a very in depth answer. Such a cool nice and funny guy, he really added to our trip. I would definitely recommend. 20/10

A great way to learn your historic facts - We booked this for our first day in Split, to get our bearings and understand the history of the city. It ticked both boxes. The guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about her home city. Would absolutely recommend.
