Linda was a great guide, in particular for our 13 and 16-year old kids, who are 'less interested' in the historical facts. She found the right balance of facts to share, interesting stories, and activities to include ( gelato!) to keep our kids engaged for the most part. We also learned a lot about the Old Town area, and got a great sense for the town. Thank you!Great tour for our whole family

Darko did a family tour with us in old town Split and his historical knowledge was impeccable. His English is also excellent, so we were able to follow easily. He also provided several recommendations for things we could do on our own time by using our rental car. Would definitely recommend working with him when in Croatia.Super knowledgeable

Upon arrival in Split, we had a fantastic 2-hour tour of Split’s Old Town with Darko. I was traveling with my 80-year-old father and my sister, and Darko made the experience enjoyable and accessible for all of us. He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and open-minded, and he tailored the tour to suit our pace and interests. It was the perfect blend of fascinating historical insights and stories about modern-day life in Split. I can highly recommend booking a tour with Darko – it truly enhanced our visit. Thanks a lot Darko. Fantastic tour of Split’s Old Town

We had an amazing tour with Darko in the Diocletian Palace. Our family has a difficult time on a group tour due to our adult son being in a wheelchair and grandparents with mobility concerns. We booked a private tour with Darko and it was perfect. He came prepared to work with our limitations and had routes planned for us that avoided stairs. He knows and loves Split and was even able to adapt the tour as he was able to sense specific areas of interest from our group. Darko personally connects with his clients and knows so much about his subject matter. Thank you very much!Accessibile tour with Darko

We booked a 5pm tour with Linda on the evening of our arrival in Split from the western US. We chose to book with her based on reviews of how spunky and entertaining she was with the hope that she could help us stay awake into the evening as we adjusted to the time change. She was up to the challenge and gave us an engaging, interesting, entertaining, and informative tour of the beautiful city. She knew the stories to tell and the places to go to keep our attention and dodge the crowds. Her English is impeccable and her love for Split most evident. Thank you Linda! You were a great first introduction to Croatia!Fun Linda!

We had a great morning! Josko was very knowledgeable about the history of Split and brought that history alive for us. We learned so many things that simply wouldn’t have been possible with a guide book on our own. As a native of Split he also offered a unique insight on the more recent history. His English was excellent as was his sense of humor. Book him! You won’t be disappointed!Fun look into the history of Split

Josko took our little group of 5 on a fascinating historical tour. He knows the history of Split so well and was able to tell great stories and put everything in context. We peppered him with questions and he could add value to even things we thought we knew about. Two hours flew by! Highly recommend. Never bored!

Joško was our host for an incredibly informative tour about the wonders of the Diocletian Palace and its surrounds. The walking tour was engaging, informative and allowed us to understand the story behind the many wonders within the Palace and the old town. Split is a wonderful city and through this tour we will certainly return to enjoy it further. I would not hesitate in recommending Joško, and the team at withlocals, if you are looking for a tour from people who have lived and breathed the history of Split. Tales of another century...

Debora went above and beyond and was able to tailor the experience to my needs. It was my first day in Croatia and I already felt as though I was a local and absorbed soo much of the culture in such a short space of time. I wish I could stay longer and book more experiences with Debora. Debora made me feel safe, comfortable and enjoy Croatia like a true local! Exactly what I from this app. If you are looking for a local with personality, kindness, professionalism and also down to earth then give Debora a shout. Thanks Debora! Will definitely get my friend and family to book through you in the future.An excellent professional host

It was good that we started our Split visit with Dube- we learned so much about the history of the city and we got our bearings around town. We visited spots we would have missed and tried foods we were not as familiar with and it was all delicious. She gave us hints on where to go for the rest of our stay and places to eat for dinner. She even shared a recipe with me. I would recommend this tour to start your holiday. Fantastic food tour by a genuine local

I cannot recommend this tour enough! Darko was amazing knowing all the best spots. It was worth the cost for a private tour as he was able to cater it to our dietary preferences, and even arrange some unique experiences to make the most of our time. He also shared some brief history along the way giving us more than just a good tour. It was the best way to see the city and it was clear he had some great connections with the locals also giving us recommendations for the rest if our trip. It was an incredible experience and we are so grateful we did it!!Absolutely the best!!!

Jodko was an excellent guide. He spoke clear English. He had maps, plans and pictures with him to show us which explained things well. He knows his subject and he brought Diocletian's palace in Split to life for us. Well worth having his services, and we recommend him Fun with Josko

22 August 2025

Our day in Split with Josko was perfect. He has extensive knowledge of the political and cultural history of Croatia and the entire region, and he's an excellent communicator. He's a great ambassador for his country. Within minutes he felt like an old friend. We learned more about Split and the Diocletian palace in a few hours with him than we would have in several days of blundering about on our own. There were several cruise ships in port that day, so by mid-morning the crowd of tourists swelled. Josko skillfully conducted us around the crowds to avoid lines and ensure that we saw everything we wanted to see as well as lots more we wouldn't have known to look for. He also guided us to an excellent sidewalk cafe for lunch where he helped us sample Croatian food and wines. We couldn't have asked for a better tour experience.A perfect day exploring Split

Joško was a wonderful guide...especially given the hot weather!! He was thoughtful in trying to keep us as comfortable as possible in the heat during our walking tour. He opened our eyes and minds to the rich history and nuances of Split. He was engaging, open and honest in his responses to our questions. We aren't fans of "typical" tourist experiences, but Joško made the tour of the historic palace and old town a joy and a unique experience. Definitely check him out if you are in Split and want a more intimate tour experience of this wonderful city.Great Split Experience!

Joško was great! His stories and wide knowledge really helped us see how Split changed through the ages and especially how the Diocletian Palace and the Old Town came to be! We learned so much more than we would have done just looking around by ourselves or with guidebooks (which only tell half the story at most) and he even managed to keep a thirteen year old and an eighteen year old engaged for over two hours. A great recommendation for dinner rounded off the trip. Thank you Joško!How to bring Split to life!

I contacted Dubravka to help arrange a customized tour of split for my group of 6. She was easy to work with and helped plan the day for us. She was able to arrange for a private van which was very clean which carted us off to our wonderful day of the sites of split. Dubravka was funny, organized, professional, and even treated us to some of her favorite treats on our excursion. Her knowledge and her connections with sites helped us and made the day wonderful. I would highly recommend Dubravka. And to top off our wonderful day, one of our group members left his hat in the van. Hours later I contacted her and the next day, our friends hat was back at the hotel. Now that is personalized service. You will not be disappointed. Alicustomized tour
