Highly recommended walking tour - We had the wonderful Gabrijela as a guide. No one else had booked on the tour, so it ended up being just the 3 of us, which was a pleasant surprise. Gabrijela was a local, with great English and wonderful knowledge. We learned so much from her about history, local culture, food recommendations and more. It's the best walking tour we've been on before!

A Fantastic Evening Walking Tour with Petra! - A wonderful hour and a half walking tour of the Old Town with our delightful guide Petra! Early evening is a great time to walk through the beautiful and historic winding streets of Split. There were just three of us on our tour, and the experience was very informative, enjoyable, and just long enough. Would highly recommend!

Petra is Amazing, and so was Diocletian’s Palace! - If you happen to be interested in a walking tour of Split that has a strong focus on history, then book with Portal Day Tours and request Petra as your guide! She has a real passion for history and presents the information in an interesting and engaging way, infusing her own sense of humor as well. It was a small group, and Petra answered all our questions very knowledgeably. You cannot go wrong having her as your guide to explain and point out how the old town of Split is a living UNESCO site!

Highly Recommended! - Our walking tour was really a fantastic experience! We were paired with Petra, who was wonderfully knowledgeable and clearly has a passion for educating others about the history and culture of Split. We have done many walking tours during our travels, and Petra was the best guide we've had. Although Split is smaller than many other places, there is quite a bit of interesting history that was neat to learn about. Highly recommend booking a spot with her!

Great walk,definitely worth it! - Just dus the walk with Maja as our guide. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had been walking around for two days of our own, but she still showed us places we did not find ourselves! We learned quite a lot and had a great tour! Thanks Portal for hiring great staff and thanks Maja for showing us around!

Enjoyable! - Monica M was an excellent tour guide. Engaged with everyone and was funny. Knows her history of the local area and is welcome to all questions. We also toured with her to Klis Castle and Trogir. She has a lovely personality for the job she is doing! We learned a lot from her and would recommend the tour

Enjoyable walking tour - Given that most of the old town of Split is actually Diocletian's palace, which is an open "museum", it is easy to roam about and miss a lot of things. I joined an evening tour; we were a group of three, and Kristina, our guide, did a good job giving us a personalized tour, rich with many historical details, personal favourites, tips and anecdotes...

Wonderful tour! - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Split. We did the 6 pm tour and it was a perfect way to orient ourselves to the city. Petra was our guide and she was just wonderful! Her stories, way of relaying history and enthusiasm really made the experience for us.

Historical Old town walking tour - My family and I took the 6pm walking tour of the old city. We ended up with a private tour since the other couple did not show up. Our guide Petra, was lovely and so knowledgeable and very proud of her Croatian history. My kids were totally engaged and asked so many questions. Fun learning experience and I highly recommend Petra.
