Ante’s 90 minute tour - We recently took a 90-minute walking tour of Diocletian’s Palace and had an excellent experience. Our guide, Ante, was extremely informative, engaging, and clearly passionate about the history of Split and the palace itself. The tour was very interesting from start to finish, and we learned far more than we would have exploring on our own. It was absolutely worth the cost and a great way to experience the history and culture of the area. Highly recommended!

Excellent walking tour of Split - This was one of the best walking tours we have done. Ante was a great guide and offered a lot of historic information as he said he is a history nerd. If you want to learn about split and get off the beaten path this is the tour I would recommend

Excellent value for the experience with Slavko! - We had a wonderful walking tour of Split with Slavko. He was friendly, knowledgeable and funny! There were only six of us so we had plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get them answered. It was very enjoyable and inexpensive.

Overall Mixed - Overall mixed. Guide spent 15 minutes up front providing personal opinions on the political and economic state of Croatia since adopting the Euro and issues since WWII that aren’t exactly factual, or relevant for the tour. We also stood in the same spot by the Golden Gate for the first 30 minutes, and moved a few meters away to stand for another 20 minutes to listen. When we finally moved inside he was knowledgeable and I learned some good history. And through no fault of his, the collocation of so many tour guides/groups in such a small space made it difficult to concentrate. Read about the palace on Claude while touring. Hence, only three stars. Fortunately it was an inexpensive tour.

Appalling customer service/poor excuse - Was waiting for at the meeting point waiting for the tour to start when at the time the tour was due to start (and only then) I got a notification from GetYourGuide telling me the company had cancelled. That’s so poor to leave it THAT late. The reason given was poor weather… the weather was to remain dry for at least 1-2 hours after the tour was due to finish and I see multiple guides leading groups through the old palace area. I suspect I was the only one booked on and that was the real reason they decided to cancel. The weather excuse is nonsense (what your guide can’t guide in rain anyway).
Company representative I spoke to on the phone didn’t apologise once! Avoid!
