I rent a bike for 3 hours, and I could visit the Park Šuma Marjan and I went to Žnjan City Beach as well. The bike was easy to use it. The cost was 60 Kunas for 3 hours and the localization is in the middle of historical part of Split. Jelena was very nice and friendly with me, and she gave advices of what I could visit in Split. Strongly recommended it.

My fiancé and I booked the GoT experience in the Diocletian's Palace — our tour guide was Luka, who not only had great knowledge of the TV series, but also had an enourmous amount of historical information on the city, the palace and its architecture. It was the best tour of our lives and we were delighted // LUKA really made it super special and shared all the enthusiasm with us, going the extra mile and providing us with a little more of his time to further show us different parts of the palace. You deserve the world, thank you very much — we're much appreciated. Diana + Alex // (Portugal + USA)

Engaging, dramatic and descriptive! I had the delight of Doris being my guide on very last evening in Croatia. As a history lover I never grow old of tales from the past. The characters came alive as Doris took us through the narrow winding streets/alleyways of Old Trogir. A small group makes it even more personable although Doris has enough personality for the entire town. Her expressive nature makes these stories and its characters even more spellbinding. Part ghost stories/part living history. Where the two meet is where your journey begins. Follow the light and let your imagination and senses come enlightened.

Such a great day we had with Tiho our guide. We started with going around the lake and waterfalls in the national park. Its a very enjoyable walk with breathtaking scenery. After a long walk we take a boat ride around the lake which is very chill and lovely. One of the best national park we visited in Europe! Our guide Tiho is so great he is very informative and entertaining, we laugh the whole day. Cant recommend this enough.

This is a walking tour of Split with a local historian! I will guide you through all of the relevant sites in the center of Split in a logical manner following the cities development through time. That covers all of Split's history from ancient Roman times till today. I have a Master's degree in history and I can tell you so much more about history. By that, I don't mean only about the history of Split. I can tell you anything you want to know about Croatia in general since I always welcome and encourage questions! I worked as a history teacher so I try and use all of the teaching skills I earned through education and practice. Interaction and dialogue are very important during my tour! Also, I am a local from Split, I've been living here for my whole life. I try to use multi-media as much as possible so I carry a tablet with me which I use to demonstrate a lot of things I am mentioning. The tablet also has a free Wi-Fi hotspot on it for my group!

Inclusions: Free Wi-Fi hotspot

We booked a private tour of the Palace and it was the best thing we did. Started early, 0900, as recommended by Toni, and it paid to beat the crowds. Toni was simply excellent and brought the City to life through the ages. The tour was well paced not rushed at all and although advertised at around 2 hours Toni gave us 3 hours of his time and the more you asked the more he was willing to share. Forget the big group tours and choose Toni you won’t be disappointed. Just excellent 5 star.

This review is long overdue! We visited Croatia in May of 2019 for our annual wedding Anniversary trip. We used Four Seasons to plan our 7 day tour of Croatia in which we visited Hvar, Split and Dubrovnik. Four Seasons arranged EVERY detail of our trip - transportation, hotel reservations, excursions and even several meals! We were fortunate enough to have Igor as our guide and driver, and he was AMAZING. From the moment he picked us up at the airport, we knew we were in for a treat. Igor took such great care of us throughout our trip and he was such a pleasant addition to our trip. Some highlights of the amazing service we experienced with Four Seasons: - private dinner arranged for our anniversary at a winery - private transportation to all of our destinations in Mercedes vans - arranged meals and reservations at restaurants (we loved every suggestion, some of the best food ever)! - arranged all excursions and even ferry tickets I am a corporate event planner that has planned events all over the world. This was the first time I let go of the reigns and used a travel agency to plan our vacation --- and it was the BEST decision ever. Four Seasons made it so easy that all we had to do was get on the plane and once we landed they took it from there. I cannot suggest this company enough, thank you Igor and team for an amazing experience!
