Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We met Josko for a Diocletian Palace and Old Town tour, Josko is an extremely educated and personable guide. He gave us so much information about the history leading up to and following the creation of the palace. Josko related this information in terms of modern-day Croatia and gave not only historical but cultural context. Beyond the historical information, he also provided fun facts about the city of Split and information about customs and great places to visit while we are here. We feel so fortunate to have spent this time with him, we have learned so much. "
"Dube was a wonderful person to spend the afternoon with learning about Split and Croatia. She is a proud Croatian and passionate about her country in all the right ways. And she shares this information in such an engaging way. She walks you around Split in an order that brings it all together in a logical and informative manner. Dube loves her job and I am so glad we had her show us around. Highly recommend. "
"Maja arrived at the meeting point early and gave my wife and I a warm and professional welcome. We had a full day with Maja in Split. She provided a comprehensive and interesting tour, with facts, stories and discussions bringing to life the amazing city. Maja adapted the tour to our needs via pre tour communication as well as our interactions on the day. We would highly recommend her."

"Highly recommend reaching out to Linda to schedule your local tour of Split. Linda was friendly, super knowledgeable about the area and she shared information about the area through stories and her own experiences - it was great! She also shared the best gelato shop in Split 😊. You won’t be disappointed!"
"I can’t say enough wonderful things about our tour with Dubravka, she is knowledgeable and passionate about history, and shared personal experiences with us. She is why we love getting local guides. Even though it was for only a few hours, we are appreciative of these personal experiences. "
"We had a great tour with Dirko learning about Split’s history, culture and some fun hidden gems as well as GOT sites. He was informative, fun and very passionate about his city. Would definitely recommend him! We learned so much."
"We had a fantastic tour with our guide Maja in Split, who did an excellent job combining history with Game of Thrones locations. We specifically asked to see filming spots from the show, and our guide came prepared with a binder full of photos from the series and behind-the-scenes shots. This made it easy to compare the real locations with the scenes filmed in and around Diocletian's Palace. The tour was very detailed—we explored the ancient Roman palace while learning about its real history, as well as discovering key GoT sites, like Daenerys' dragon chambers. The mix of factual history and fun behind-the-scenes stories made the experience incredibly engaging. Highly recommend this tour to both Game of Thrones fans and history lovers! Our guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and made the whole experience unforgettable. At the end of the tour Maja even helped us pick out a very good restaurant. We couldn't have asked for more. "
"Josko is very knowledgeable about the history of his city and has a very pleasant personality. We are traveling with friend and enjoyed our tour very much. We can highly recommend him"
"Jodko was an excellent guide. He spoke clear English. He had maps, plans and pictures with him to show us which explained things well. He knows his subject and he brought Diocletian's palace in Split to life for us. Well worth having his services, and we recommend him "
"Linda was a great guide, in particular for our 13 and 16-year old kids, who are 'less interested' in the historical facts. She found the right balance of facts to share, interesting stories, and activities to include ( gelato!) to keep our kids engaged for the most part. We also learned a lot about the Old Town area, and got a great sense for the town. Thank you!"
