Very good tour. - Excellent tour with knowledgeable guide. If your a student of history at all, or even just interested, this adds much. In some respects, better than Pompeii. Better preserved.

Perfect Split Walking Tour - Slavko was great! He shared just the right amount of information! Gave lots of history and kept it very entertaining. When asked questions he did a deeper dive into the subject and was very interesting. So glad we did this tour. Also, it was a small group- we could stay together and hear everything. There were some very large groups walking around- happy we weren’t part of them. Definitely recommend this tour.
