About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 971marinelam0 contributionsBest Tour in DalmatiaAmazing tour with amazing guide/driver Mario! Drive was fast and smooth. We spent some time walking around Omiš and Marios knowledge about the area is amazing. We climbed to one of the fortresses and enjoyed the view. It was not crowded as it's no season in February. We tried to swim in the water but it was a little bit cold as it's still winter. After that we took a boat ride (apx 30 min) till Radmanove mlinice and spent some time in nature and had lunch there. On the way back to Split, Mario took a few stops on viewpoints. We were surprised when he told us we were one of his first tours to Omiš booked over Viator. 10/10 can't recommend it more!Written 7 February 2025
- SunilP890 contributionsTour of splitWent on a 2 and a quarter hour tour of split with history of the city. He was knowledgeable and really made the tour interesting and entertaining. I would highly recommend this tourWritten 25 August 2024
- 1gina0 contributionsPerfect tour, lovely city, great guide.An amazing tour with a passionate, talented and knowledgeable guide. Mario made our Split experience a memorable one. The the city is undoubtedly amazing, but you can only get the full flavor seeing it guided by a local who loves it and has also the best background education. I totally recommend it.Written 24 August 2024
- lepic20240 contributionsAwesome tour with local history professor!Mario is a fantastic guide. He was full of a deep and rich knowledge of the Roman and medieval history of Split. You can tell he is also an engaging history professor- we learned a lot and had a lot of fun doing so! He was careful to guide us to shady spots, as well. And he knew exactly when the clapa (a capella) group would sing!Written 23 August 2024

- 381viktoriaf0 contributionsBest tour guide for Split!I loved it! Everything we wanted to know was included. It was funny and we got to know the best places in Split. We could see the passion he has for this place, the history and the people he guides.Written 21 August 2024
- RSAinUSA0 contributionsHighly recommendedMario was a wonderful guide, interesting, informative and entertaining. We learned so much about the history of Split, the architecture and the culture and the tour of the old city was fantastic. He also gave suggestions about local food, wine and other sites of interest. One of the best guided tours we have ever experienced.Written 21 August 2024
- gregwood19570 contributionsA wonderful experience and best start possible to our 2 days in SplitMario was an absolute delight. His knowledge and love of Split and Croatia was both encyclopaedic and delightful. He encouraged questions, always gave a considered answer and made the tour a truly enjoyable experience. He also provided a list of things to do on my Whatsapp not long after the tour, enabling us to extend our enjoyment long beyond the "official" conclusion of the tour. Oh, btw, in case Mario does not mention it make sure you do not use an official bank ATM as they charge exhorbitant rates.Written 21 August 2024

Excellent. An outstanding introduction to Split with relevant history background. Mario made the tour feel more like a private tour although we were a group. He asked questions as to what we thought various oddities were, engaging us. He knew all of us by first names and from what country we came from, showing a wonderful memory but in a subtle way making this tour feel more personalized. Mario offered several valuable tips on what to see after our tour, what foods to try, what we might avoid. Ron and I highly recommend Mario as a very knowledgeable guide who took time to ensure this tour was a best. Marcia & Ron

Mario greeted us by our names, he was well prepared knowing everyone as they joined which made us feel welcome and appreciated as a tourist.
He shared facts balanced well with humour and made the true facts known not tourist folklore.
The 2 .5 hours passed quickly even in 30+ degree heat and we finished the tour with an appetising recommendation for wine ice cream and food and a warning of ATM’s around the town to avoid !
Mario will stay with us in our minds and throughout our time in Croatia and without going OTT I say he represented his country well and made English, American , Norwegian and French tourists hungry to see more of beautiful Split

A fantastic guided tour through Split that we can recommend! Mario really gave value for money through his solid knowledge and ability to convey it. He spiced up the tour with his measured sense of humor and put us in the past and present of Split and Dalmatia. We also got valuable tips on excursions in the surrounding area.

We found good reviews about Mario and took a chance to book him. He responded very quickly suggesting how a tour could work. He asked about us so he could plan it to match our requirements. It was very hot, so he suggested delaying the start time so as to walk when it was cooler- a great idea. He was extremely knowledgable, dates and information flowed easily. He kept us amused and answered the many questions we had. The tour culminated in a walk to a restaurant hall way up the Marjan hill where we watched an incredible sunset and the moon rise. Don’t be dissuaded by the long path of steps, the view is so worth the effort. He recommended restaurants off the tourist route and we wouldn’t have hesitated to contact him after our tour if we needed assistance. Mario’s English is fluent and he is very easy and pleasant company. We unreservedly recommend him as your tour guide.

I went on this with little expectation. However...it was fantastic! Mario is an excellent guide and communicator. He is very knowledgeable about Split.
The trip covered the central area both inside and outside Diocletian's Palace. We were treated historical detail, out of the way interesting places, useful holiday hints around the town, food and drink info and a good dash of humour.
Be prepared to walk - this is not one of those padded- out tours which include coffee stops
It was great value for money and one I'd recommend to anyone visiting Split

Fantastic knowledge of points we toured and so interesting. Very grateful to Mario for sharing all your time and insight with us!
He kept making sure we were all following him as it was quite congested with travelers. Made sure we could hear him and kept humor in the mix. Allowed us to ask questions and made a point to be inclusive with everyone.
Do not hesitate to book this tour as his knowledge is astounding and this tour is very good as well as local tips, where to dine, get Gelato, etc.
