5.00We highly recommend Temper Travel. It is owned by two brothers who are both wonderful. Bosko was our main guide and the depth of his knowledge was unmatched. He told us everything we wanted to know and more. He is very good with teenagers. Our kids related to him. and he knew how to interest them in the tour. Book with them if you are going to Split.
A great guide tells you the story- not just random fun facts

5.00Wow! When you hire a licensed guide from a reputable company you truly get what you pay for! Our guide Pavle was PERFECT! He started our tour by providing just the right amount of history about the site to get us started. As we toured he connected back to his initial history chat and skillfully pulled the story all together. He was interesting, engaging and did not overwhelm us. Its great when a guide can tell the “story” of a site and weave in interesting details along the way to enhance the experience. We requested to visit the market and Pavle was able to connect the significance, location and history there too. He was a professional!
