Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. Highly recommended! He was very kind when we had trouble finding the meeting site and was very cute as well.
Fantastic insightful history tour of the good and bad of Split! Our tour guide was funny but also super awesome with answering any questions you may have.
Our tour guide was fantastic. Funny and very informative. I learned so much of the history and culture of split. I would highly recommend
This odds not your ordinary tour of Split. This is a much more real experience than I expected. He will keep your attention with his knowledge and he is extremely engaging. Well played sir
My husband and I had an enjoyable time on this tour. Our guide, Dasen is an exceptional storyteller who brings the history and fun facts of Split to life. At first, we weren’t expecting much because we booked the tour at the last minute, but he exceeded our expectations. He also gave us free local beer to conclude our tour.
Daser took us on a really nice walk explaining the darker history of Split. Our kids 13&14 also found it very interesting! A great way to get to know the city better!
Dason is very personable and a fabulous guide. This was a different spin on the regular tours of Split & he made it very interesting. We managed to see new parts of the town and learn about the darker or funnier side of it's history. Highly recommend.
Great host! Knew lots of information about this city and history of the region. He was fun, respectful and gave lots of interesting comments. Overall good event.
The tour was amazing. We learnt a lot about split and the way of life in older times until now. The guid was very funny but also totaly competent. I think on this tour you got e lot of informations you wouldent get on a other tours. Go for it!
Many ghost tours I have been on are theatrical, over the top, and trying to scare you. While this tour was more focussed on the historical concepts and accurate facts, I felt this was a reflection of the Croatian spirit and culture. Modest, straightforward, friendly, fun. That said, the Darker side of Split was fascinating and unexpected! This city is rife with history.
Dusen, our Dark Split guide, was very knowledgeable and thorough with his informational tour. He was also able to answer questions fairly and honestly. Being a lifelong local, Dusen had several unique anecdotes about the city and life here through the good times and bad. His love for the city is evident. Further, Dusen appeared well connected in Split, having intimate knowledge of local festivals, being greeted by friends while we toured, and so on.
We really enjoyed the guide and the tour!!
Very engaging host who had many stories about the area. We walked through the area for several days without knowing what we were missing. Fun evening and definitely recommend!
We had a great time ducking down alleys and learning about unique moments from Split’s history from our wonderful guide, Dasan. I booked this tour last-minute and I was so glad I did…definitely take the opportunity to learn about the rich Croatian past from a local (and the craft beer he offered us at the end of the journey was a nice touch!)
Daser was great and the stories and details great. An all-round interesting and successful tour with extraordinary details about the city's history.

VIRKELIG god tur, kan anbefales! Informativ, sjov og venlig guide.
Vi drikker ikke øl, så vi skrev dette til ham, og han havde taget lokal sodavand med til os. Mega sødt.
