It is extremely easy to find meeting point: it is just near the huge statue of Gregory of Nin. Touching his big toe is known to make the wishes come true :)

Charming guide Katarina, take the tour before exploring the city. - We had a good summary about the origin of the city, a good panorama of the history and how the palace was (with photos and videos brought by the guide), it was really charming. When arriving in Split, first of all, this tour is well worth it. Katarina is a person's love. He spoke English slowly so my fikhos could understand.

Very informative! - We had the chance to be only two with Katarina. Our tour started early so we could visit without the rush. Super Guide who knows as much about the history as the current reality of the city. I enjoyed it very much

Tour guide made the trip! - Our tour guide was an amazing historian and teacher. He captivated us with rich stories about Split's extremely interesting history over many centuries, pointing out unique architectural and historically significant details. He spent just the right amount of time at each location and left us with recommendations for further exploration well after the tour.

Wonderful private tour! - This was a very thorough and informative tour. I highly recommend the private tour, it's much more intimate and you get to see things that large groups would never experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Thank you!
