5.00I am not a lover of guided tours or group sightseeing tours. We chose this guide for a family tour of the Krka waterfalls. Dario was able to put at ease from the first second with his touches of humor and his blatant passion for his country full of stories and filled with treasures. This visit was exciting, the scenery breathtaking. A famous guide that I recommend. Thank you to Anthony for taking us gently through the passes.
Very nice tour of Krka falls

5.00Walking tour in Split is a great choice! The city is beautiful, I will definitely come back here! A small issue is the crowds from cruise ships, but in those moments you can retreat to one of the many cafes in the palace. Anita was a good guide. I definitely recommend it!

5.00Brilliant tour guide, extremely informative and didn’t bail on us despite the pouring rain. Was kind enough to borrow some umbrellas for us as despite being British we didn’t come prepared for rain😂. We got some much more out of our time in Split thanks to Anita. Thoroughly recommend
