Ivan was great and provided us with so much information based on Docletian palace. Made the rest of our trip even more interesting as we knew so much more about Split based on the information he gave us. Only gave one less star as we felt that we could have explored more of the centre by walk within the 90 minutes. Otherwise, a great way to start off our trip!

Excellent introduction to Split! Tanja is a professional and knows her city, telling the history and adding a personal touch. The group was a perfect size and she knew how to navigate us thru the small alleys as well as thru the other tourists. I’m totally enchanted with this city and Croatia as well!

37 degrees and not a minute of boredom !! Despite the great heat, I really enjoyed the 1pm tour (unfortunately no other time was possible for me today). The really professional cityscape explainer (guide) led the manageable group through the city without rushing, making use of all available shady places in really easy to understand English language. The peculiarities of all epochs are clearly explained in a good 90 minutes. So it's fun. The uncomplicated booking in the morning using the app on the mobile phone should also be emphasized! Highly recommended.
