Great tour highlighting the best of Split's history - Great tour giving you a little history on Split without it being so long! The walking involved was pretty easy with very few steps to climb throughout the tour. However, Split was very crowded when I went, which was late May so do please make sure to stay with your group. Highly recommend this tour as the city is quite beautiful and the tour told a great story about the city. Special shoutout to our guide Marijan

Walking distance short.... - Walking distance short. Gentle pace for 11/2 hours. Guide split party which made numbers manageable compared some other companies. No mics or earphones but Mario has a brilliant voice. His stories, tips, honesty and historical knowledge made the trip. He is brilliant👏👏

As a tour, it is acceptable, but not outstanding. - It was easy to find the guide at the Golden Gate. My desired appointment was canceled, and other dates were suggested. The tour was interesting; however, the guide's English pronunciation was so poor that listening was somewhat exhausting at times, for example, when he pronounced Sphinx like Swing.
