Overview

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 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.

Great history tour, amazing tour guide!

Published on May, 2025

This 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
