Great Overview - If you’re looking for a historical walking tour of Old Town Split, this is it. Our local guide Marta really brought the palace and its inhabitants to life sharing centuries of facts and stories as we walked. My husband is not much of a history buff, and even he really enjoyed it. Great overview!

Outstanding tour and guide - Outstanding. Our guide Marija was so good we booked a private tour with her. She’s a history teacher and not only knew a ton about the history of Split, but also Croatia generally, architecture, and many more things. Truly a gem!

Wonderful tour guide! - I went on this tour with my two teen children, and we were all so pleased with Dana, our sweet local guide. We learned a lot about the charming city of Split. She even pointed out, where she went to high school, so it felt very personal and special. Learned a new word - vomitorium :-) in the Palace, and also some new knowledge about how they kept their streets clean back in the day. Just ask her :-) Thank you, Dana! Wish you all the best!

Wouldn’t recommend sadly - If you do this tour via Sugaman tours then cancel!! It’s not a walking tour of the old city as per the description and does not include Marjan forest. It is ONLY a tour of some parts the palace. When we asked why we weren’t doing the other parts as advertised on the tour itinerary booking neither the Sugaman tours employee nor the guide were helpful (each stating we need to ask the other!). Karla our guide was friendly but a little dry. The information was very repetitive and too much information was offered haphazardly, making it very confusing and as if it was being regurgitated. Really sad as we were really excited on our first day to find out about the history and culture. So we finished the tour at 730pm and walked up Marjan forest for sunset ourselves! The highlight!!
