My guide Lucija was incredibly knowledgeable of the ancient and modern history of the city, with an informal style which made it a very pleasurable experience. Her passion for Split and its culture were very evident and her recommendations of places to visit and food to eat (Pasticada !)were greatly appreciated. If there is one thing you do in Split you MUST do this tour. DT

Excellent way to start a Split trip! Lucija was very knowledgeable and excellent at condensing information about the history of the city, as well as giving good recommendations about things to do in the area. A morning tour was a good choice, as was cooler and less crowded.

    This is a great cruise tour option. Split was beautiful, the architecture, the history, nothing to be disappointed about on this tour. Our guide was knowledgable, she did a great job in not rushing through the tour. Meeting place for cruise passengers was easy to find, save your money from over priced cruise tours and consider this one.

    This was our first time in Split and we wanted to see all the major sites in a day. Licija did a great job navigating us through all the sites and educating us along the way. It was an enjoyable day and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone

    Encantadora velada.

    Lucija es la mejor, una paciencia y carisma fantástica. Nacida en Split se nota que ama du ciudad. Hajduk Split es un fantástico equipo, espero que este campeonato sea campeón.

    Uitstekende tour met Lucija

    Gracy_V, Jun 2024
    Wij hadden het geluk een prive rondleiding te hebben met Lucija (tour4you). Lucija was een perfecte gids, zeer goede kennis van geschiedenis, zeer sympatiek. Ze heeft ruim de tijd genomen om al onze vragen te beantwoorden. We raden deze tour zeker aan, vooral met Lucija!!
