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...

She was kind and knowledgeable. She really made us feel welcomed to her home city. We learned a lot, which made everything more interesting. She also recommended some restaurants for us to enjoy after our tour. We chose Bepi!, because there was music and a good atmosphere. I would recommend her highly. Excellent tour guide.

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

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!

If you’re in Split and thinking about doing a food tour—stop thinking and book it with Dubravka! From the very first bite to the final sip, this tour was an absolute highlight of our trip. Dubravka is everything you could want in a guide—funny, passionate, full of stories, and she knows all the best hidden gems that we would have completely missed on our own. We ate, we laughed, we learned about the city’s rich history, and—most importantly—we ate some more. Every stop was better than the last, and we left not only full but feeling like locals. This wasn’t just a tour, it was like being shown around by a friend who happens to be a foodie and a total Split expert. We didn’t want it to end! 10/10—would happily do it again.An unforgettable adventure through Split!

Linda was kind enough to create a customized tour which combined a city tour of Split with a sampling of local cuisine. With her easy going style and perfect English, she very quickly built up a rapport with our family. We very much enjoyed learning all about Diocletian's palace and how the city grown up around it (and inside it!). Linda is an excellent tour guide and we strongly recommend you tour with her.Wonderful tour of Split

Our walk was planned around seeing a different view of the city, not just the tourist attractions . We really enjoyed exploration of old residential areas with exceptional city views and their history. Food and restaurants off the usual promenade and harbour. With typical food choices which we enjoyed after our walk. Onwards to the City park and the woods. Our guide Debora was informative and a pleasure to share time with. Thank you.An Enjoyable City Walk.

The tour was amazing from start to finish. Dube is well versed in history and gave us an amazing overview. This was especially helpful as it was our first day in Croatia. The tour focused on street food and introduced us to items we might not otherwise have run across or tried. The portions were generous, and we were very full at the end. Since it was a private tour, we were able to have many questions answered and we also enjoyed getting to know Dube and hear her story. I very highly recommend.Best food tour we have taken anywhere
