Joseph was great for Game of Thrones tour! - Joseph, our tour guide was fabulous! After checking in with us about what we knew/didn t know about the castle and history of the area, he provided an excellent overview. He brought us to locations in the castle that were featured in Game of Thrones. Plenty of photo opportunities. Great suggestions for good food and craft beer locations and provided discount coupons. A very enjoyable tour and well worth the fee.

Game of Thrones is coming alive in Split! - After a great Game of Thrones Tour in Dubrovnik the tour guide over there advised us this GOT tour in Split and he was right to do so! We enjoyed every minute of it. Our guide Josep (or Joe) was a funny and passionate storyteller and he managed to really bring the series to life in Split but also knew a lot to tell about the history of the town. It was great! He used a tablet to show us the scenes which made us feel like we were there with all of the characters. If you’re a fan of GOT and you want to know more about the city in a relaxing and humorous vibe this is the tour to join!

Exciting and interested - Marko was very pleasant. He showed many locations from Game of Thrones and a little bit of the history of Split. For me it was quite okay, but one could ask here at the beginning what the customers want.

Mix of both - I loved Jo and his cool jokes, we stayed in the shade the entire time and saw both history as well as GoT scenes
