5.00Fantastic tour by Ivana! She was very knowledgeable and informative but delivered the information in an entertaining way. There are tons of walking tours in Split, but I really feel this was one of the best ones and seemed more engaging than other tours we went past. Ivana was great in providing recommendations for local restaurants, places to shop etc after the tour which we found very helpful. I would highly recommend to anyone!
