We had a great time exploring the city center of Split with Toni as our guide. He was very friendly, answered all questions with patience and made sure we saw all the key highlights and hidden gems of the city center. We really enjoyed his insights and the relaxed atmosphere he created. Highly recommended, rgds from Bucharest :-)

The guide was dynamic, captivating and explained things very well, albeit in English. I was able to understand a lot of what he was saying. Learning the history of the city for 15€ is definitely worth it. Without the guided tour, we'd have missed out on a lot of the city's history.
