This was one of the best tours we have been on.
Mario was so interesting and provided a lot of great information and kept whole group engaged
Recommending this tour as a must on a visit to Split
Mario was amazing. Funny, kind, insightful and friendly. The tour explains so much about the area. We loved this tour.
Our guide Mate, was engaging and full of fun facts about his home town. The itinerary was ideal, city of Trojir balanced with the nature of Krka park.
Mario blends in-depth historical knowledge and great humor. Engaged the group with questions like a true professor. Best tour guide we’ve had!
Excellent! I would highly recommend. Mario is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the palace and history of Croatia. If you enjoy really learning about a place, Mario is your guy.
Mario was fantastic. He demonstrated a wealth of historical knowledge, and made it fun and interesting. He was attentive, sociable, and humorous in every way. One of the best guides we have ever experienced. I highly recommend this Tour.
Mario was a fantastic guide and extremely knowledgeable. The tour gave us a great overview of the city and we learned lots about Diocletian’s Palace and the old town. Would highly recommend!
Mario was amazing. He kept our interest and his English was excellent. He was entertaining and informative and moved at a good pace, without being exhausting. Besides the history he gave us helpful tips to make our trip better. He saved us a lot of money at the ATM's. The wife and I wondered by his group the day after our group of 19. He yelled out hello and remembered our names.

This was a great introduction to Split, Mario explained the history of the City wonderfully. It was also a good way to understand the layout of the Old Town. We really enjoyed the tour plus all the extra tips and recommendations.
We loved our walking tour with Mario. He did a great job of telling us so much about the history of split in two hours. Highly recommend
Mario was an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable, articulate and has a great sense of humor. The walking tour was about 2 1/2 hours long, but it felt short. We learned so much from Mario. I highly recommend getting this tour. You won’t be disappointed.
Great history on Split and the Palace. Walking is not strenuous. Great for all ages. The audio assistance was a great way to be able to hear everything....now if I could remember it all!
Mario is an excellent guide! Very knowledgeable and fun and he kept us moving. Gave us great tips for Split as well. Highly recommended!
Best city tour or and historic experience we ever had during multiple trips.
Professor is very entertaining, engaging with excellent sense of humor. He managed to keep 18 people with different backgrounds in the loop for two and a half hours straightforward.
Thank you.
Antonjela was very engaging and very knowledgeable. Good pace and answered all our questions. Nice introduction to Split and its history
Wear comfortable shoes.- walking on cobblestones and uneven surfaces. Some stairs but many have handrails. The guide was very knowledgeable and had some amusing anecdotes. He is clearly used to visitors from all over the world. He gave us great tips on where to eat and drink and how to avoid scammers. Highly recommend!
Our Guide is amazing, very knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely recommend this tour to our friends and neighbours.
Mario was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had.
First of all we were a bit confused on where to to meet but I recognized him from the tour information listing. He welcomed us to the group.
The pace of the tour was perfect. We never felt rushed and had time to truly explore and take pics.
Loved that Mario asked us questions and waited for us to aware. I’m sure he’s an excellent professor. He gave us information at each stop and was never overwhelming.
I would highly recommend this tour of Split with Mario. If we find ourselves back in the area we would book a tour with Mario without hesitation.
As someone who has traveled extensively and done plenty of walking tours, this is one of the most memorable and best.
Mario is a great guide with a wonderful sense of humor. His lessons on history are rooted in reality and he does not romanticize anything that doesn’t deserve to be romanticized.
It’s nice to have a guide who is young and has experienced how Split has changed during the last two decades. He has a real understanding of how this region has adapted to that changing landscape and how locals have experienced it.
Mario was incredibly knowledgeable about local history & had a fund of amusing stories about local places & characters
This was such a great tour for anyone interested in the history of Diocletian’s Palace, local food and some tips for the area, as well as some friendly travel tips. Mario was very engaging. I’d highly recommend doing this tour one of your first days visiting as you’ll get really well oriented to the layout of the palace and it makes getting around so much easier. After the tour we had a list of ideas in our heads of what we wanted to see more of and where we’d want to eat.
Absolutely wonderful tour to give a high level view of the history, the palace and general information. Made fun with Mario’s excellent delivery and humour. Great group and experience
The best walking tour you will ever go on! Full of facts, stories, tidbits about Croatian society, and splits connection to the world. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough, book it without a second thought!
Two hour walking tour, very informative. Mario was excellent. I would definitely recommend booking the tour with him.
Our tour guide Mario was so incredibly knowledgeable and he made the tour a lot of fun. I noticed people outside of our tour stopping to listen to him speak as he was so informative and had such an in depth historical perspective. Excellent tour!!
Mario was a great host and provided great information and engagement for the group. Our family learned so much about Split and would recommend this tour to anyone interested.
Mario was amazing. We learned all about the history of the palace and got plenty of funny anecdotes with it.
Amazing experience! Mario was knowledgeable about the topic but also other things that he weaved into the tour masterfully. He was entertaining and attentive. His explanations increased both our understanding and interest in the history of Split, Croacia and the region in general. He also gave us useful tips that helped us throughout our vacation. He even recommended us a fantastic wine! 🥳
This was a fantastic way to see Split and learn its impressive and storied history. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us learn so much in a brief amount of time. I would highly recommend this tour as a "first activity" when arriving in Split- it gives you a lay of the land, and helps you know what you're looking at as you continue to travel around this historic city.
We had Elana who replaced Mario because he was sick . We had an excellent tour, she was funny, engaging , knowledgeable and gave us an amazing tour.
