Enjoyed our tour with Hrvoje. It was punctual and we got started right on time. We learned as we walked a reasonable distance through the palace walls. He was easy to hear in a medium sized group and took photos for us when we asked. Thanks for the great educational tour!

Walking distance short. Gentle pace for 11/2 hours. Guide split party which made numbers manageable compared some other companies. No mics or earphones but Mario has a brilliant voice. His stories, tips, honesty and historical knowledge made the trip. He is brilliant👏👏

Darrin_M, Jul 2026

This was just the right length of a quick tour to get a feel for Split and the Palace area. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept us in the shade where possible. Still had plenty of time to wander on our own before heading back to ship. Way cheaper than cruise excursions.

Best guide on our third trip the Palace!

Nancy_C, Jun 2026

The guided tour was very good. The reason for 4 stars is because if would have been helpful if we had some sort of listening device to hear over all the other people in crowded areas.

Great tour highlighting the best of Split's history

Jason_J, Jun 2026

Great tour giving you a little history on Split without it being so long! The walking involved was pretty easy with very few steps to climb throughout the tour. However, Split was very crowded when I went, which was late May so do please make sure to stay with your group. Highly recommend this tour as the city is quite beautiful and the tour told a great story about the city. Special shoutout to our guide Marijan

Fabulous Croatia

Great overview of Split

MarthaLouise_L, May 2026

Anteo was an excellent guide despite having a large group due to 9 am tour cancellation. He was knowledgeable and very informative. Absolutely taught us a lot of history and made us appreciate Split. We can enjoy revisiting the Palace later when less crowded with more appreciation

Great introduction to Split

Beth_W, May 2026

Great overview on arrival to Split. Large group so if that’s not your thing you may want to pick a private tour. The palace was crowded, perhaps an earlier tour would have been better. Our guide was informative and took time to answer questions but still managed to stay on schedule.

Such rich history

Highly recommend

Laura_N, May 2026

This was a great walking tour! The guide was very knowledgeable, engaging and continuously found us shady corners to stand in along the tour on a warm, sunny day. He also provides at great list of recommended sights, restaurants, bars, etc at the end of the tour that can really enhance your stay in Split.
