Walking City with Rich History

Elizabeth_D, Jun 2025

Only issue would be we could not avoid direct sunlight. Be prepared with Umbrella or hat in order to withstand the lack of shade. The sights are incredible with so much to see and learn about, highly recommend.

We learn so much about Split & it's history.

Susan_N, Sep 2024

Our tour guide knew so much about the history of Split and the palace. He also had local food suggestions.

It was just okay

Susan_S, Jul 2024

Our guide was good, but too much information about the architect, and repeated. We did not know we had to walk up a mountain to see the view, that should have been mentioned.

Great tour!

FANTASTIK

Ricardo_F, Mar 2024

Ivan was most knowledgable, exceptional. He is really a professional guide. We recommend Ivan hands down. It rained hard during the tour, and it did not matter at all. The city is enchanting and absolutely AMAZING. This is a MUST TAKE tour in a MUST SEE city.
