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!
Response from the operator: Dear Lucy and Tom thank you so much! I am so happy that you liked the tour and that you enjoyed! It was my pleasure to host you and give you bit more about Split and Croatia! :)))

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Communist Tour of Split - Private & Exclusive Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does Communist Tour of Split - Private & Exclusive Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $154 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Split usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Communist Tour of Split - Private & Exclusive Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Split is not rushed.
Is Communist Tour of Split - Private & Exclusive Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Split, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Communist Tour of Split - Private & Exclusive Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Communist Tour of Split - Private & Exclusive Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Communist Tour of Split - Private & Exclusive Tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Split can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Split and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Communist Tour of Split - Private & Exclusive Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Split within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Split?
+
On Outty we rank every Split experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Split Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister of History, Split Walking Tour with Professor of History, From Split: Krka Waterfalls, Food & Wine Tasting Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Split?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Split?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
