Didn’t work for me

I was not able to download the guide despite having downloaded the app. I tried to go to meeting place but just kept going round in circles

It was perfect. I recommend it simple easy at your own pace.

I had had a walking tour booked and they cancelled last minute, so I found this Tour. It was excellent just enough information to keep it real. Covered all the highlights and very cost-effective. I like the idea that it was valid for 48 hours after you started it during the tour you could stop have something to eat. Look a little longer maybe have a beverage it was perfect.

Operator response

Thanks for your review. We’re really glad the tour helped after your cancellation and that you enjoyed exploring Split at your own pace, with the right amount of info and the flexibility to pause along the way!
