Experience Split Walking Tour is personalized small group tour with maximum of 12 participants guided by local professional historian in the See, Hear & Feel sense: See the sights, Hear the story & Feel the vibe.
With Master`s degree in history and working as a history teacher I was developing my professional and educational skills what helps me to guide my tours on See, Hear & Feel sense. On my tours participants are encouraged for active participation regardless they have questions or they just want to make an opinion.
On this tour I will guide you through the history of Split where I live all of my life and I will introduce you to all the relevant sights as well as with the interesting hidden gems of the city. Beside history and cultural themes as a main part of the tour, important part is also getting know about local mentality and everyday life with its own special characteristics.

5.00Excellent tour of castle and history. Out guide was a history teacher and knew his stuff! Could have had a little more tour outside castle, but we had wonderful conversations with our guide!
Great way to get an overview of the old city

5.00Fun, interesting and informative. A good two-hour intro to Croatia from a local history teacher. Got to see (and learn background on) parts of the old city I would never otherwise have seen or understood. And yet not too serious.
An Excellant Tour

5.00I can’t imagine a better way to explore Diocletians Palace than in a small group led by a historian. Boris, our guide, really brought to life the size and scope of the palace, the various temples in the palace grounds, and its strategic importance. This was an excellent tour.
Great history tour, amazing tour guide!

5.00This tour was VERY worth our time! It actually ended up being closer to 2.5 hours. The tour guide was so informative not only about the history of the palace and split but also the geopolitical landscape and regional differences of Croatia. We had spent 8 days in Croatia prior to this tour so it was the perfect way to cap our experience. The tour guide was a history teacher before and it shows! He was engaging, and involved us in his tour. My husband and I loved it. Also he recommended some great restaurants and activities.
Great experience
