Additional Information

The Communist Tour of Split is a specially tailored small group tour that accommodates a maximum of 8 people, led by an experienced local historian and a university-educated history teacher.

On this intriguing tour, I will introduce you to the communist-era history of Split, a city that once stood as a hub of politics, industry, economy, and tourism. As a rapidly expanding city during the communist period of Yugoslavia, Split hosted numerous influential world leaders, including Yuogslav leader Tito, who visited over 40 times. The city is rich in stories, facts, and legends about this era, which I am excited to share with you.

Naturally, these tales will be accompanied by a viewing of significant sites and lesser-known treasures that bear testimony to Split’s communist history.

Join me for a journey to discover the life in Split and Yugoslavia during the communist period, where each participant’s inquiries and thoughts are encouraged - a truly engaging and unique learning experience!

Different tour of Split with fantastic and very knowledgeable guide! High recommendation!! - We took this tour because we wanted to know more about communist period in Croatia and Split and how we were very interested in this matter we booked it as a private tour. We had our guide Boris with us and we were very happy about it because he is real expert. Boris is highly knowledgeable, not just about the history but everything related to it as well. On the tour you will see parts of the city which you want be able to see on regular tours and you go there by car or van. Boris also offered us to show some things which are ussually not part of the tour and how we were on private tour we could model it by ourselves. We truly enjoyed it and felt we learned a lot because the tour definitely changed our perspective on some things about communism in Croatia/Yugoslavia. We highly recommend this tour and especially with Boris as your guide! We cannot thank him enough for sharing his knowledge and for being such a pleasant company. Thank you so much Boris for everything!
