Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"What a treasure Split is, and to have a guide like Darko is the perfect day. We ventured to Vranjaca caves and were delighted by the spectacular views and the cool temperature was the perfect break from the sun. Klis Fortress was breathtaking. Darko was a wealth of information about Split, and was a great conversationalist. He was very natural with the kids and they hit it off talking video games. I own a personal chef business and am very enthused about regional cuisine and traditional dishes. Darko suggested a delicious restaurant serving authentic Split cuisine. I spoke with our server and the chef after the meal who were also super cool and they shared their thoughts on the best places to visit in Croatia. I could not recommend Darko any higher, he was very accommodating, there was easy communication before the tour with whatsapp. Darko was laid back but kept with our schedule to make it back to our ship for departure. A great tour all around. 10/10"
"We were picked up in Split and our group was driven to the Krka waterfalls by Darko and a driver. We really enjoyed the journey as he explained a bit about the history of Croatia. We then walked around the waterfalls which were amazing but I must warn you, they are very busy in July. We then drove to a lovely small Island where we had a delicious lunch in a family run restaurant followed by a walk along the waterfront boardwalk and a walk through the market. Our group of five really enjoyed it and Darko was great company. We highly recommend him. "

"We originally booked a different tour but needed to switch tours and Darko was able to accommodate us easily. We did the food tour and he added quite a bit of history and guided city tour information as well. As we were engaging in conversation he even stopped at got us a bottle of Rjavka to try on our own that wasn’t part of the tour. He was able to answer both food and history questions. "
"Darko was knowledgeable, excited about his homeland and its history and ready and able to share his insights. The cave and castle were a great, relaxing way to spend the day; especially when Darko leads the way. "
"There are several reasons to travel With Locals. One is that you’re not part of a large group- just you and a “local”. The other is that you actually get to know a person who lives in the place you’re visiting. Darko was terrific. It was a pleasure getting to know him and learn about the history of the country and what life in Croatia is like- through the eyes and experience of a local person. Darko was kind, thoughtful, intelligent, and extremely considerate. Highly recommend him and With Locals "
"Darko was a great tour guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable and had just the right balance of guiding us, but also giving us alone time to explore. Definitely would book with him again"
"Darko was a fantastic tour guide! He worked with us to customise our tour with only 4 hours to spare before an international flight! We got to see the beautiful view and medieval fortress of Klis, and were blown away by the amazing crystal cave that is a well known secret to the locals. Darko speaks fluent English and is so knowledgeable of the local history and culture. I definitely recommend Darko to be your next guide 🤩"
"Darko was very friendly, knowledgeable about all areas and questions asked, excellent with communication leading up to tour, flexible with changes we wanted to make and extremely accommodating I would highly recommend him! He also coordinated a driver for us whom was also friendly and did a great job. We felt safe and van was clean. Krka national park was incredible! "
"2 of our children arrived in Croatia a day before the rest of the family. From the first contact with Datko he went above and beyond. Darko picked us up from the airport and drove us to Krka. Gave us tones of tips and just the right amount of information. During the drive I we felt like we were learning about a new culture and area with a friend. His restaurant suggestions were amazing and local/not tourist traps. Thank you for a great day of new memories. "
"Had a wonderful day with Darko. He was very informative answered all questions and was interesting to talk to. I would recommend anyone who can get a day tour with him you will not regret"
