“Walking tour of Split, tour of Krka Park and wine tasting. ”

Pavle was an excellent guide. We spent 2 days with him and it was most enjoyable. First day, we toured Diocletian Palace and Old Town. Pavle was very knowledgeable and the tour was definitely interesting and educational. He was very generous in explaining the history and culture of Split as well as, Croatia. Second day, Pavle and his brother Bosko took us to Krka National Park, which was breath taking. Then, they took us to a vineyard and we had a delightful wine tasting at a local winery. Then they safely drove us back to the city where they showed us football stadium and view of Split.
