    About this experience

    Experience Split Walking Tour is personalized small group tour with maximum of 12 participants guided by local professional historian in the See, Hear & Feel sense: See the sights, Hear the story & Feel the vibe. With Master`s degree in history and working as a history teacher I was developing my professional and educational skills what helps me to guide my tours on See, Hear & Feel sense. On my tours participants are encouraged for active participation regardless they have questions or they just want to make an opinion. On this tour I will guide you through the history of Split where I live all of my life and I will introduce you to all the relevant sights as well as with the interesting hidden gems of the city. Beside history and cultural themes as a main part of the tour, important part is also getting know about local mentality and everyday life with its own special characteristics. Pictures & 3D images via display book will help you to perceive the history behind story.

    Great walking tour

    Excellent tour of castle and history. Out guide was a history teacher and knew his stuff! Could have had a little more tour outside castle, but we had wonderful conversations with our guide!

    Response from the operator: Dear Lynn, thank you very much! We'we been outside the palace area covering the most significant parts of medieval as well as modern history! Still, in Split there is definitely more to see as not everything can fit in two hours tour. I am glad that you enjoyed! :)) Boris

    Great way to get an overview of the old city

    Fun, interesting and informative. A good two-hour intro to Croatia from a local history teacher. Got to see (and learn background on) parts of the old city I would never otherwise have seen or understood. And yet not too serious.

    Response from the operator: Dear Steve, thank you very much! I am happy to know you enjoyed the tour! To learn while you are having a good time, it's all about! :)))

    An Excellant Tour

    I can’t imagine a better way to explore Diocletians Palace than in a small group led by a historian. Boris, our guide, really brought to life the size and scope of the palace, the various temples in the palace grounds, and its strategic importance. This was an excellent tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much! It was my pleasure to be your guide and I am happy to know you enjoyed the tour! :))

    Great history tour, amazing tour guide!

    This tour was VERY worth our time! It actually ended up being closer to 2.5 hours. The tour guide was so informative not only about the history of the palace and split but also the geopolitical landscape and regional differences of Croatia. We had spent 8 days in Croatia prior to this tour so it was the perfect way to cap our experience. The tour guide was a history teacher before and it shows! He was engaging, and involved us in his tour. My husband and I loved it. Also he recommended some great restaurants and activities.

    Response from the operator: Dear Anila, thank you very much! I am so happy to know you liked the tour and enjoyed it! Sometimes takes a bit more, especially when people are interested and they participate with questions and comments, which I like a lot. It was my pleasure to be your guide! :)))

    Great experience

    Great tour. Very good communication and knowledge of the history of the city. Small group made it very easy to get around and hear everything.

    Response from the operator: Dear Phoebe, thank you very much! I am happy to know you enjoyed the tour! It was my pleasure to be your guide in Split! :))

    Experience Split With Local Professional Historian - Small Group: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.

    How much does Experience Split With Local Professional Historian - Small Group cost?

    +

    Prices start at $38 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 Experience Split With Local Professional Historian - Small Group take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Experience Split With Local Professional Historian - Small Group worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 86 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 Experience Split With Local Professional Historian - Small Group?

    +

    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 Experience Split With Local Professional Historian - Small Group suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Experience Split With Local Professional Historian - Small Group?

    +

    Around 30 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Experience Split With Local Professional Historian - Small Group 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.
