Great history walk - Great, informative history guided walking tour, chosen route to fit my handicap. We saw a lot, we were told a lot of interesting history facts about different times in Split, illustrated with pictures to make it more understandable when standing at the different places. Greatly recommended.

Great private tour - Great tour, doing private was a good decision, we got to speak to our tour guide one on one. It also helped to set the pace as I did the tour pregnant. Our guide was fantastic with lots of knowledge to share.

Charming guide Katarina, take the tour before exploring the city. - We had a good summary about the origin of the city, a good panorama of the history and how the palace was (with photos and videos brought by the guide), it was really charming. When arriving in Split, first of all, this tour is well worth it. Katarina is a person's love. He spoke English slowly so my fikhos could understand.

Very informative! - We had the chance to be only two with Katarina. Our tour started early so we could visit without the rush. Super Guide who knows as much about the history as the current reality of the city. I enjoyed it very much
