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

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

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

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
