Traveler Reviews

Toni is the best Walking Tour guide. Loved Croatia, Toni was able to bring the past to life He was so knowledgeable, the group was small, therefore we felt comfortable enough to ask questions and Toni was able to answer thoroughly. Before this tour, knew nothing of this City or Country. Now would love to revisit. Great experience!

Toni was very knowledgeable guide and generous person. I had valuable 2hours could understand more about this beautiful city SPLIT!! I really want to come back and show family and friends CROATIA soon.

We gave Toni a 10 out of 10! Because we booked in October, crowds were gone for the season, so my wife and I got a private tour! Toni was informative, personal, and attentive. He gave the history of the city, shared some of his family’s experiences, and gave other recommendations for our stay. For us, his tour was on of our favorites.

Toni was a very nice tour guide, easy to be reached and flexible. We had a private tour just with our family and it was certainly a great start of our trip to Split. Thank you!

Have done many walking tours and Toni was by far the most enthusiastic, knowledgeable guide we've ever had! We even had some off topic questions about the country in general and he answered everything with ease!! Had the absolute best tour experience. Huge thank you to Toni!!
