I arranged a tour with Debora that split half Hidden Treasures and half Culinary Kickstart for myself and a friend in Split. It worked out really well, we met Debora and had a glass of wine and some savory pastries while we discussed what we were interested in seeing. We then strolled around the Diocletian palace neighborhood, learning about the complex history and Croatian culture. Debora was smart and fun. It felt like hanging out with a good friend.

We had a fantastic tour with Débora! She was super friendly and guided us expertly through the beautiful city of Split. Her knowledge of the city’s history was impressive, and she shared many interesting facts along the way. One of the highlights was discovering some hidden gems, including breathtaking panoramic views. Débora also pointed out great restaurants and cafés, giving us insight into traditional Croatian cuisine. It was a very pleasant and informative experience, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Split!Guide tour with Débora

Our flight was delayed by 4 hours so we missed our tour with Darko. He was kind enough to fit us in the next day. He is a true local who is super knowledgeable. We are so appreciative that he made the time for us as we left with such an appreciation of Split, the history and the culture. Thank you Darko! Darko was a delight!

Darko gave us a wonderful tour of the caves, which is highly recommended and not accessible by the bus tours. We almost had the caves to ourselves and it was breathtaking and so serene. Also a nice tour of the fortress followed by a taste of Split. Wonderful time. Excellent tour highly recommended guide

De tour hadden we veel meer van verwacht. Voor het grote bedrag wat we hebben betaald waren we niet 3 uur maar 2 uur bezig. Hij was veel sneller klaar. Daarnaast was het niet 10 verschillende hapjes en of drankjes die we hebben gehad, maar minder. En maar 1 drankje en voor de rest wat hapjes, waarvan er ook een stukje chocola bij zat. Wij hadden hele andere verwachtingen bij dit bedrag. Darko kan leuk vertellen dat wel, maar wij hadden het gevoel dat er meer inzat voor zo’n groot bedrag en dat nu niet is geleverd. Oke maar niet fantastisch

Had such a great time with Darko doing a food tour our first night in Split. I picked him for our tour because we had multiple similar interests and he did not disappoint! He had a deep knowledge of the history and culture of the area. All of the foods/restaurants he chose for us were really great. A perfect intro to the city. Would absolutely do another tour with him!Loved learning about Split

Extremely enjoyable, interesting, and informative tour with Darko. He is very knowledgeable about the history surrounding the Diocletian palace. His stories and commentary about the palace, history of Croatia and the Dalmatian coast were fascinating and the time went by in a flash. I would highly recommend Darko for this tour.Split highlight tour with Darko

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

Darko met us down by the waterfront and walked us all over old Split to see the highlights. 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

Without Darko's local experience and knowledge of history we would have been lost. To think that the we were right in front of the Dioclestians palace and didn't know it... He was a great tour guide and very informative. We appreciated his comfortable demeanor and wonderful appreciation of all things Croation especially Split. Definitely book a tour if you are considering it. You won't be sorry. Thank you.Fabulous tour full of local insights...

This was an amazing tour. We have made it a point to try local food everywhere we travel, and there weren't many tour options in Split. Darko was informative, he had vast knowledge of the history, and obviously loves Split. He kept us interested, and engaged the entire time. He speaks great english, and knew how to navigate the crowds and the city with ease. We tried local foods we would gave never found on our own, and learned about why they were important to the city. I highly recommend touring with Darko.One of the best tourguides ever

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

Darko provided an exceptional walking tour of Diocletian's Palace in Split. His extensive knowledge and engaging storytelling brought the history of the palace to life. Darko was especially considerate of our son's food allergies, ensuring he could safely enjoy the local chocolate tasting experience. His attention to detail and genuine care for our family's needs made the tour both informative and enjoyable.

Débora organised an incredible last minute tour for us. She was incredibly receptive to the fact that we have a young daughter and needed to allow for several stops. Débora booked us a private wine tasting with an incredible view and showed us beautiful beaches, towns and historical spots. On top of that, she was extremely friendly and great to hang out with for the day. Would definitely recommend getting in touch if you’re looking to explore the area!Customised Split tour

Linda was an excellent guide for myself and 3 friends to help us discover Split through her local knowledge. As well as giving us lots of information about the history of the Diocletian palace, Linda gave us useful up-to-date info on restaurants, local places of interest, boat trips and even the best gelateria in town. (We subsequently tried several and agreed with her assessment!) We stopped for a drink (included in the price) and had a really interesting chat about life in Split. Linda was so friendly and helpful, and speaks such excellent English, you will be lucky to have her as a guide. Her tour was one of the highlights of our stay here.A memorable guided tour of Split

Darko couldn’t have had a tougher group nor have done a better job! We had just come in from a long drive. Some of our group were really interested in history - others were not at all. Darko read the room brilliantly and had everyone in the palm of his hands. I also appreciated his sensitivity to our mobility challenges as he modified the tour. I literally cannot recommend him enough. Everyone had a fantastic time!Fantastic tour with Darko!
