Tour guide was knowledgeable about architecture and lovely person. Do this trip early on your visit to Split. I personally would have like some more focus on military history incorporated throughout. Maybe find a way to walk through the change of rulers with the evolution of architecture changes of the palace.

If you only have a short time in Split this is a must to really get a feel for the history of the area with some great general knowledge along the way. Our guide Natasa was brilliant and was happy to answer questions along the way. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Having a professional archeologist with the depth of knowledge of our guide was incredible value for money. She could fully describe the era, provide contextual political/economic/societal status and forces at play and the sites history as it has played out to today - still a thriving community! Excellent all round! Don't ever settle for any guide less in credentials for sites of historical significance - excellent service providers - congrats Get Your Guide.
