Highly recommended knowledgeable and engaging guide. - Excellent walking tour. We took the 6pm tour which was cooler in the evening. Group of about 10. Toni is very knowledgeable and engaging. He has a folio o of 3d reconstruction images he made himself that illustrate the original appearance of the palace. Great descriptions of the layers of history in the city. Highly recommended.

Great guide - well worth the cost - Toni was extremely knowledgeable and spoke clearly in English. He told us so many interesting things about the area that we would not have easily found out whilst wandering around alone.

Morning in Split - Tony was able to explain the history of Split in an abridged version and still kept it interesting with details regarding food and local folklore. He was personable and very forthcoming with great recommendations for various activities throughout the town.

Immensely interesting and spoken very clearly in good English - What Toni told us was immensely g interesting and delivered clearly so we could all hear and understand it. He was mindful to keep us in the shade where possible as it was very hot. Toni was extremely well educated in the history of the area. We would highly recommend booking this exact tour, you won't be disappointed.
