Flexible and accommodating in case of cancellation - We were unfortunately not able to complete the tour due to few registered and holidays, but the guide was very accommodating with options. They suggested new dates and recommended other sights in the meantime. We ended up not taking the trip, and was refunded the payment immediately. Thank you for being helpful and flexible! Recommended even if you don't get dragged!

Fantastic informative tour - Fantastic 90 minute tour. Our guide Goran was both informative and good humoured We learnt so many interesting facts and he pointed out elements of the architecture we would have otherwise missed without him. One of the best tours we’ve been on in years. Would highly recommend!

A nice tour, but could have covered more - This was a nice walking tour of Diocletian's Palace for a fair price. Our guide did a great job of limiting how much time we had to spend in the direct sunlight which we appreciated given how hot it was. However, the tour did not cover much ground. We spent the 45 minutes of the tour in the same plaza where the tour started. We then had to wait for a 're-enactment' which felt like a giant waste of time. Given that we did not cover more of the old town, we would have appreciated more unique stories and insights when we did stop at points of interest. We also did not get to stop by the synagogue as was indicated on the itinerary which we would disappointing but we covered this on our own. Overall, it was a nice day but not sure we would do again.
