Great Tour by Ivan

Ivan provided an amazing overview of the history of Split and its main attractions. It was easy to understand, fun and well paced. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Les Thomas · October 2026

Best guide for Split walking tour.

Ivan was an exceptional guide—pleasant, easy to understand, and engaging from start to finish. He paced the tour perfectly without ever making us feel rushed. Ivan provided a wonderfully clear overview of the Dalmatian region’s history and traced the story of how modern Croatia came to be. Highly recommended!

Noel De Villa · October 2026

Interesting tour

Ivan was a great tour leader and was informative, and light-hearted at the same time. Would highly recommend.

Mel Hills · October 2026

Great walking tour

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Ivan. Great to get an historical overview of the history of the Diocletian Palace and surrounds but also Ivan’s own memories of growing up in Split. He happily answered all our questions, thoroughly recommend.

Marianne Carson · October 2026

Well organised and informative tour

Ivan really managed to pack a lot in to the 90 minutes. A really informative and interesting tour. The tour starting at 09:00 meant we saw the palace when it was quieter, the place was really busy when we walked back through at 10:00.

Christopher Sweeney · September 2026

Great for earlier in the day.

Ivan gave us a great tour of the city and shared a lot of great history of Split. It was great that it stated earlier than usual, and that it started from the quieter gate. He pointed out small things that we would never have seen on our own. Recommended.
