Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"My husband and I were lucky to have had a very informative history tour with Josko on our first full day in Split. We found him to be an engaging, funny and very personable guide and enjoyed learning many things about the old town, Diocletian Palace and Croatia in general. He recommended a lovely place for lunch, a venue in the Palace for outdoor music in the evening, and a shop for excellent local chocolate. We highly recommend his tour!"
"I cannot speak more highly of our tour with Darko! We had been to Split before but got so much more out of this personalized tour. Darko is smart, knowledgeable, and interesting! The tour was full of hidden gems, tasty treats, personal insights, history, culture, and even a great recommendation for local cuisine for lunch! You will not regret booking Darko!"
"Joško was our host for an incredibly informative tour about the wonders of the Diocletian Palace and its surrounds. The walking tour was engaging, informative and allowed us to understand the story behind the many wonders within the Palace and the old town. Split is a wonderful city and through this tour we will certainly return to enjoy it further. I would not hesitate in recommending Joško, and the team at withlocals, if you are looking for a tour from people who have lived and breathed the history of Split. "
"We had a great morning! Josko was very knowledgeable about the history of Split and brought that history alive for us. We learned so many things that simply wouldn’t have been possible with a guide book on our own. As a native of Split he also offered a unique insight on the more recent history. His English was excellent as was his sense of humor. Book him! You won’t be disappointed!"
"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Split with Dubravka who has a deep understanding and affection for Split. It was nice with all the personal and cultural aspects (about life in Split for Dubravka as a child and for the locals). She was fun and warm as well. Highest recommendations from us."
"Josko took our little group of 5 on a fascinating historical tour. He knows the history of Split so well and was able to tell great stories and put everything in context. We peppered him with questions and he could add value to even things we thought we knew about. Two hours flew by! Highly recommend. "
"Linda was very knowledgeable about Split and the history of both the area and Croatia. The tour certainly helped us get our bearings of the city and gave us ideas how to spend the rest of our stay in Split. I would certainly recommend both the tour and Linda."
"We can highly recommend Dube as a local guide, her information was very informative and she made us feel right at home giving us all the history and local recommendations. Thanks for a wonderful morning, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour "
"Josko gave our family of 6 an indepth, informative and enjoyable tour of his home town of Split. We enjoyed hearing about the cultural influences which shaped the city. There were some surprising treats that were delightful! "
"Darko is very passionate about his country and quite knowledgeable as well. We learned so much about the palace and architecture. He also introduced us to the best pastry and chocolate in the town. And gave us some excellent recommendations for dinner aw. I would highly recommend him for your tour."
