Well Done - This was a well paced and informative tour. It was raining and a Croatian national holiday so Split was empty which made it even more enjoyable. I learned a lot of fun facts and had a great time with the tour guide. I could not have asked for anything else.

He gave us an overview of the city as well as where we were going. Then we walked - Amazing tour! Mario is knowledgable and passionate about Split and its history and showed interest in us and our home countries. As I’m staying in split for a while, he also took his time to give me a whole lot of recommendations for what to do and see around the city.

"Opus bene perfactum" as Diocletian might have said! - There are many walking tours of Split available but this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. I know this to be true even though this is the only walking tour I have taken but I am confident it cannot be beaten. Mario is a fantastic guide - knowledgeable, charismatic, and engaging. His credentials as a learned academic mean that he can answer any question (historical or otherwise) and his style is, in the nicest possible way, school teacher-ish. Moreover, he brings the fascinating Roman history of Split (and Europe) to life with anecdotes and vignettes. And to top it all, Mario offers genuinely useful tourist advice during the tour. Mario apologised when our tour overran by a couple of minutes; my wife and I would have welcomed another couple of hours! Thoroughly recommended.

Fun and very informative tour! - Fun and very informative! Anita was a fantastic guide. We walked the entire city of Split and learned so much. After the tour, we went back to a few locations and paid the entry fee for a deeper look. Highly recommend!

What a history tour! - Today we did the history walking tour with Mario and enjoyed it immensely. Mario does such a great job with his knowledge of history and his interaction with the group. He remembered everyone’s name and where they came from adding another angle to his presentation. Mario also gave tips so that as visitors were aware of things to be aware of. Mario keep up your sense of humour and we just could not find anything you could improve on. Thank you from both of us.
