The Best Guide in Split - A superb three days exploring Split, really good guide who is incredibly knowledgeable and pointed out so many interesting things during our tour. Split Guide also organised a phenomenal cooking trip in the countryside as well as giving us a list of brilliant places to eat and visit. I highly recommend using this guide.

Best Tour Guide in Split - I had the pleasure of meeting Dinah and Heather while staying at The Hotel Ambasador Split. They provide us with a tour of Split and also Krka waterfalls and a local cooking course at Bulic Rural Tourism, They are both very professional and informative, during the tours and happy to accommodate all requirements. I would highly recommend using them for any tours you are looking to arrange.

The best way to see Split - We debated on getting a guide for our walk in Split and we are so glad we did! Dana ( pronounced Gianna) was ( is) the BEST. Besides being incredibly knowledgeable she is very personable and friendly. The tour was fascinating and we learned so much more than we would have on our own. Her love of the city and of Croatia is contagious. We have made our first Croatian friend!

City tour with Split Guide is an absolute must! - We had an insanely interesting, lively and interactive tour that didn't get boring for a second over a length of 2.5 hours! On the contrary, we could have gone on even longer! Our very sympathetic and competent guide Dinah has a great deal of expertise and knows all the connections and details of Split's history from its beginnings to current issues of the city and the country. It is an absolute must to let her explain everything, it makes a visit to this beautiful city an unforgettable and round experience! You not only learn a lot about the city (formation and development), but also get art historical details and information about the land and people. Thanks to their very friendly, warm and uncomplicated nature you feel very welcome in Dalmatia! Thank you from the heart, we will come back and feed on our memories until then!

Great leadership! - Dinah, guided us through Split the way I imagine a high-quality tour. With wit, charm and one or the other anecdote - as well as a large amount of background knowledge . Dinah didn’t owe us an answer to any question, so we were able to classify what was visited again and again in the historical background and in the timeline. Thanks Dinah, it was a great entertaining afternoon with you.
