Different experience of Split’s history

Published on Mar, 2023

Amazing and very different experience of Split’s history. If you are interested in learning about Yugoslavia and communist/socialist architecture, this is your tour. Boris is very knowledgeable and excellent tour guide. Mine ended up being a one-on-one tour so it became a personalized exprience which was great. Highly recommended

Great, different tour with true expert!

Published on Feb, 2023

Very interesting and different tour! We wanted to know more about recent history and this was the only tour. Our guide Boris, who guided as also on another tour, was very knowledgeable and he is, in general, true expert for history. Definitely do this tour if you want something different!

Hidden gem tour in Split! Highly recommended!!

Published on Sep, 2022

If you want something completely different in Split you should take this tour. Before this one we already did the walking tour with Boris and how delighted we were, we decided to go for this one as well. Communist tour of Split gives you completely different view on the history of Split because most of the tours are focused on Roman and Medieval history of the area and this is the only one which offers you to see and understand the period of the history which is not so "in focus" but has every reason not to be like that. The tour focus is on period of Communism/Socialism between two wars, World War II and conflicts in the Balkan in the 1990s even though you will hear what was happening in this area during that time as well. Politics, life, architecture and other themes you probably won`t be able to understand without someone to tell/show you about it. Boris is definitely great choice! Historian, history teacher, tour guide with extensive knowledge for the themes which are part of this tour, will take you through the important parts and the hidden gems as well. Also, there are some small "touches" like having a popular drink from that period and taking a picture at the wheel of one of the symbols of Communist/Socialist Yugoslavia, which is a great add to the tour. After city walking tour, once again, very high recommendation for this tour as well. This is something you won`t be able to get anywhere else in Split. One more time, thank you very much Boris! :) Doreen & Mike

Fascinating and must do it!!! Highest recommendation!!!

Published on Jul, 2022

When we came to Split we didn't expect significant twentieth century history related to communism so we were very curious when were booking this tour! But it was a bingo! This part of the history of Split is hidden and not so much in the focus which is making it even more interesting! Boris this time showed us interesting architecture of socialist period which was followed with fascinating facts and stories about it! History of Yugoslavia is interesting and unique because it is presenting life and politics between two worlds in that time, western and eastern! Fascinating is a right word for it and Boris is right person to show you that! Must do it!!!

Different tour - different and great experience!!!

Published on Jun, 2022

This was our second tour with Boris, after we already did the walking tour with him in old city. As we expected this was also a great tour on which we found out a lot about communist period of Split as well as about Croatia and Yugoslavia in general. Boris gave us great insight into this interesting and not so known period of history of this area. History, architecture, everyday life, politics, dictatorship of Tito and many other topics were part of this tour so we really learned a lot, especially because we had a guide who is also a professional historian! We also tasted popular drink of the communist era which was a nice addition to the tour! If you want to see and hear about some other part of Split history and about life in general in communist Yugoslavia I would definitely recommend this tour! All together we were on two tours with Boris and we felt lucky that we had him as our guide! Great experience!! Thank you so much Boris!!!
