The location was really easy to find to meet the guide and it was clear who he was also. The tour was located primarily around the palace. He gave us historical info and modern info, as well as recommendations for places to eat and drink. He was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. I love history so this tour was ideal for me. Both my husband and I have watched Game of Thrones and there were elements of this woven into the tour. The tour is ideal as a small group due to locations covered.

Mijo was absolutely brilliant. So knowledgeable about Split, its history, culture, area. Every question we had was answered fully. We saw parts of Split which I’m sure we would have missed, had it not been for Mijo’s expertise.

Our guide Mijo is very pleasant, informative and has a sense of humour. We visited the old part of Split which has many historical facts. A scene of Games of Thrones was filmed there. The old city is an UNESCO protected site, one of a kind in my view. We had lovely recommendations for dining.

Sitting at opposite ends of the Gulf of Kastela, Split and Trogir offer two contrasting visions of the past. Your day begins in Split, a bustling city built inside the walls of Roman emperor Diocletian's Palace. As you wander through its stone corridors and courtyards, you're not simply ticking off ancient ruins - you're moving through a place that still feels very much alive. Film crews once stood exactly where you're standing now, as Split's old town was used as a filming location for “Game of Thrones”. You'll have time to wander at your own pace: stop for lunch, browse small shops, or settle in and watch the world go by. You'll visit two markets and grab a typical snack at Mlinice Pantana, before heading to Trogir. Once in Trogir, you'll notice a calmer, more compact atmosphere on this small island just offshore. Its old town feels almost frozen in time, with narrow streets, elegant squares and medieval architecture. At its centre stands the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, home to the remarkable Radovan Portal. Together, Split and Trogir show two sides of Dalmatia – energetic and unhurried –, and it's that contrast that makes the day stay with you.
