A fun & informational tour - We really enjoyed this tour! Lots of historical information, fun facts, and great stories. We've done lots of "ghost tours" all over the world, this one is not really "ghosts", but it was very enjoyable all the same.

The BEST walking tour in Split! - My husband and I had an enjoyable time on this tour. Our guide, Dasen is an exceptional storyteller who brings the history and fun facts of Split to life. At first, we weren’t expecting much because we booked the tour at the last minute, but he exceeded our expectations. He also gave us free local beer to conclude our tour.

Recommended - interesting tour - This was a really fun tour. The guide was very knowledgeable about the general history of Split, and the 'dark' tales of drugs, prostitution and burning witches, etc. added a great twist. It seemed that the guide could have talked for many more hours, but with just the 1.5 hrs it was manageable with out information overload!

The Real History of Split. - If you are a fan of the obscure, the dark, the real history of Split then this is the tour for you. Dasen was insightful and funny and guided us through the ancient city whilst brining it alive with historical facts stretching through from antiquity to the more recent Croatian war of independence. I would highly recommend this tour if you are interested in secret facts that you can’t find in any travel book.

Fun times - Dasen was knowledgeable, friendly and funny. It was nice to see the sites later in the evening when it was less crowded. We had a small group, so everyone was able to hear and ask questions as we went along. Loved it.
