Split is brimming with history and I am so glad we took a private guide to visit it, it was well worth the price. The colorful guide went to extra length (literally : he went well past the expected time of the tour and never rushed us in any way) explaining the details about the streets, monuments, statues, ruins, etc. with great passion.
I would definitely recommend. Split is a nice city to visit in itself, but all the lively explanations, anecdotes and stories we received during the tour made our time there truly unforgettable!
