This tour was tailored to meet specific needs of those who are interested in contested history and contested contemporary issues of the area. By focusing on the historical and contemporary taboos, this tour aims at specific knowledge that moves away from classical tour narratives and focuses on ‘with no gloves on’ approach.
Although this tour aims at above mentioned specific knowledge, it is also done by covering Split's centre main sites and locations, so it is well fitted tour for Split's beginners and for the people who want to broaden their local experience. By joining this tour, you can blend all your interests in one experience since the tour escapes the idea of fitting into one category. It combines narratives about politics and geopolitics, religion, identity, demographics, sexuality, history, and economics. The rounded storytelling connects past and present of the area, creating deep insight and understanding of ongoing social processes.

It's a must for anyone who doesn't just want to hear the information on the public noticeboards. Stories about the tribes, folks and people who passed through or stayed here over the centuries. Their mentalities, peculiarities - and contradictions too. Of course 😉. Sympathetic, open minded, thoughtfully presented. Marin is open to all questions and knows the answers. Exciting, entertaining and a “little tutoring session” of the most pleasant kind.

Marin is one of the best guides I’ve ever had and I’ve been to over 75 countries. You will leave the tour filled with knowledge not obtained on genetic tours.

This tour is a MUST DO for anyone interested in the history, culture, politics, and modern day complexities of Split and Croatia. We have done countless tours in Europe and this was hands down the best one we’ve ever done. Marin was incredibly knowledgeable and gave a thought provoking tour that connected the past to the present while seeing the major sights in downtown Split.

This walking tour was recommended by my son, who was recommended by friends of his, and I can see why!. Marin took us an amazing journey through the Diocletian palace contexting the complex social and political history of Croatia. Thoroughly recommended!

An excellent tour with a passionate guide. He was personable and friendly and tried to find shade for us as much as possible. His information on the history and culture of the region was extensive. I would recommend this tour for anyone interested in the past and current history of the area. It was a walking tour and some of our group of 10 found standing while listening to his information tiring but that was to be expected on this type of tour. The buildings and squares of Split have so much more meaning now that we have the historical background. Some aspects of the city, such as the Jewish ghetto, we would have missed out on without this tour.

Wonderful insightful tour. We had heard about it and felt it would be a great addition to our experience in Croatia - and it was. We did more traditional walking tours in 2 cities in Croatia (one was in Split, the day before this tour) that mostly focused on history - which is, of course interesting. But this tour offered so much more. It did include all the historical highlights - but it tied that history into the Croatia of the two World War eras, into Croatia's time as part of communist Yugoslavia, and the war with Serbia and post-independence (the Homeland War and following), up to the present. It met all our high expecations and we very highly recommend it!

Marin was an exceptional guide. He kept our attention with interesting facts and funny little quips. He’s a teacher and it seems like he really loves what he does and brings that perspective into this tour. Would absolutely recommend.

Marin's tour was my favourite thing I did in Split! An excellent tour all round which filled a gap in my political and sociocultural knowledge of the region. Marin answered questions throughout and was extremely knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in how cities and nations develop an identity
