We truly enjoyed Robert's private tour of Trogir and appreciated his flexibility when one of our members showed up with a walker. Robert adjusted his tour of Trogir to accommodate my friend's slower mobility as we walked through town. I truly appreciated Robert's perspective and interpretation of the artwork on the buildings which gave me a richer understanding of the scenes. I would like to add that Robert was an exceptional host! He also worked with the winery to take us early to get us back to our cruise ship on time! I highly recommend reserving Robert for your tour!!

Robert is a fascinating man - we were very impressed! The tour of Diocletian's Palace was intriguing. Robert is not a native of Split, but he is extremely knowledgeable - knows his history and also offered little known features of the Palace. A highlight was our trip to the fish market to select our fish for lunch. The restaurant he selected to enjoy our fish and shrimp dish was expertly prepared - absolutely delicious! Robert, thank you, thank you! We enjoyed our time with you so very much!

This was a terrific tour, combining an interesting and comprehensive tour of the old city and its history, along with a fantastic food experience where Robert our guide walked us through the local fish market and helped us to select a variety of fresh seafood and then later on the tour had them cooked and served to us at a wonderful local restaurant for our lunch. We enjoyed every aspect of the tour and highly recommend Robert for those considering a private tour in Split as well as a great food experience as part of it.

Robert helped our entire group of seven appreciate the construction and significance of this wonderfully preserved old town region within the walls of the historic palace. His love for the city and people became readily apparent as he guided us thru the old walls and alleyways, carefully pointing out minute details on the walls and building blocks that creatively were used in the construction. Even old Roman writing was noted on one of the building blocks that most would never notice. We appreciated his knowledgeable study, and selected local treat of donut like sweet shared with our coffee/tea stop. Highly recommend Robert as your guide to tour Split.

Our tour of Split and Trogir with Robert and Nives was fantastic. As we planned this tour months in advance , he was great at communicating with us of any necessary changes and did a great job of accommodating us. The tour itself was great and they were extremely knowledgeable of the area and the history of each place visited. My wife and I both highly recommend this great tour.
Richard, August 2024
I have travelled extensively over the past 40 years and Robert and Rada were the best guides I have ever had. We had a group of 8 touring Trogir and Split Croatia with a delicious and relaxing lunch at the winery. Robert was informative and entertaining and a great guy. I would highly recommend touring with them.
Louise, July 2024
Natasa gave us a great tour. They are very passionate and knowledgeable about Split and the surrounding area. Her sense of humor kept us entertained the entire day. A visit and lunch at a local winery was a highlight of the day.

We had so much fun with Luka, we could listen for hours to him. What a good and passionate storyteller, lovely human being and—of course—a big GOT fan! Thank you Luka!
Sarah, 2024
Incredible tour and I learned so much. Luka is so deeply knowledgeable about Split, Croatian and European history. I have a better understanding now of the history of this beautiful place and will be able to keep learning on my own.
Isadora, 2024

Natasa was the perfect tour guide—knowledgable, enthusiastic, friendly and funny. He made things come to life and no question went unanswered. All in all a most interesting and informative tour!
Bruce, June 2024
The Diocletian Palace is huge and complex. Thanks to Robert and his fellow guide/friend, Rada, we got to see all of it along with an understanding of the Palace's evolution to the present. Old Split is truly alive. Robert is one of a kind and very entertaining and Rada indulged my passion for architecture along with the history. Wonderful tour!

Nives was an amazing tour guide in Split. She helped me with information before the tour so we could customize it and make it exactly what we wanted.

The tour of Split and Trogir was a great experience with Nives. I did not know much about Croatia before this trip and now have a real appreciation for the country.
