Who knew history could be this much fun to explore and discover? Josko created such a wonderful experience and made us fall in love with Split! Not to mention how much he made us laugh, or gasp in wonder as we understood the privilege of discovering more than a thousand years of history. It was beyond our expectations!
We can't wait to come back and discover more.Amazing and unforgettable!

Linda was kind, friendly, fun and super knowledgeable. We loved our time with her. She even gave us recommendations for lunch and a place to get gifts. Super knowledgeable

My husband and I were lucky to have had a very informative history tour with Josko on our first full day in Split. We found him to be an engaging, funny and very personable guide and enjoyed learning many things about the old town, Diocletian Palace and Croatia in general. He recommended a lovely place for lunch, a venue in the Palace for outdoor music in the evening, and a shop for excellent local chocolate.
We highly recommend his tour!Wonderful introduction to Split

My husband and I are absolutely raving about our experience with Dubravka! 🌟 From the very first moment, her passion for Split shone through. She is hilarious, entertaining, and absolutely brimming with knowledge about this magical city. Her pride in Split’s rich history and culture is contagious — we learned so much while laughing the whole time. The tour was so engaging that the time simply flew by!
Dubravka brought us to all the best spots, treated us to breathtaking views, and filled our hearts with unforgettable memories. Her recommendations for the rest of our stay were spot on, making our trip even more special. I feel so lucky to have met her — not just an incredible guide, but truly a friend across the ocean. 🩷
She is the best option you could possibly choose! Dubravka came highly recommended by my parents, and she far exceeded our already high expectations. This is an experience not to be missed!Dubravka is the very BEST!

Dubra was a perfect match for our small group. She is warm, friendly and we LOVED her sense of humor. She is a great resource for the history of Split and the surrounding areas. She made our time together REAL by weaving in stories of growing up in the area. We appreciated the recommendations she gave us for local places to eat, as well as places to visit along our journey beyond Split. When we return to the area, we will definitely reconnect with Dubra!Time well spent!

Dubravka was very warm & gave us a great walk through Splits main (& also lesser seen) attractions.
She made sure to let us see through a locals eyes the intricacies of the main city centre & what there was to explore outside of those city limits.
We snacked on some delicious local food & were told some great stories about the history of the city, mingled with Dubravka’s own lived experiences of growing up in Split.
Thank you for a great time!

Dubravka (Dubi) sure knows Split! Our party of eight adults booked her for the hidden secrets tour and we are so glad we did! Dubi had many, often hilarious, anecdotes about living here as a child and how Split has evolved throughout her lifetime. She took us from the ancient history of the area to modern times in a fun and engaging manner. Her personality and love of her city and country shone through as she walked us through old town and the Palace. She even gave us some “inside” information on where to eat and what to do. Definitely book her as a tour guide… You will have a lot of fun while learning so much about this beautiful and interesting city of Split. A wealth of knowlege and a lot of fun

Dubravka begann die Tour an einem Aussichtspunkt, von der wir einen guten Überblick die Stadt hatten und gab bei dieser Gelegenheit auch eine Übersicht über die Entwicklung der Stadt und das Umland. Anschließend gingen wir zu einem gut geplanten Rundgang durch die Stadt. Dubravka hatte an jedem Ort aus ihrem großen Wissensschatz zu den Hintergründen und Geschichte erzählt. Dabei langweilte sie nicht mit Fakten, sondern legte den Schwerpunkt auf geschichtliche Zusammenhänge und Hintergründe für die Entwicklung der Stadt. Der Rundgang endete mit einer Verkostung einer lokalen Süßigkeit und einen gemütlichen Plausch in einem Kaffee. Da wir außerhalb der Saison unterwegs waren hatten wir genug Zeit an den einzelnen Lokationen. Dubravka ist eine charmante Führerin, die Geschichte Splits und Dalmatiens lebendig vermittelt.Kurzweilige und interessante Stadtführung

My wife and I did the Highlights and Hidden Gems of Split with Linda. What an excellent experience it was! Linda is knowledgeable, articulate and passionate about her home town. We thought that we'd done quite a good job of discovering Split on our own, but wow, she showed us so much that we hadn't seen previously. Her restaurant recommendations we also much appreciated - esp. Tri Volta.
Highly recommended!An excellent experience

He has an excellent background and is very knowledgable about the ancient and modern history of Split and Croatia. At our request, he talked about the GOT sites and took us to the synagogue. We stopped at a traditional bakery for a cannoli. We enjoyed our tour! It was just a group of four family members and we appreciated Darko's time and attention, which we would not have received in a large tour.Great tour with Darko
