Hello! I am Ivan Fistanić, a licenced tour guide with a master degree in history and art history with many years of experience.
Ivan is a talented historian who can tell the story of his city with passion and deep knowledge. He was helpful, engaging and overall a great teacher.
Ivan is a fantastic guide. His English is excellent and he even spoke a little German for my cousin who was with me during the tour. We were really lucky to have been the only people on the tour and we learned alot about the history of Split. Highly recommend this guide!
Do not hesitate: take Ivan’s tour! Ivan was the best tour guide I’ve had in my many years of traveling. He has a wealth of knowledge, has perfect English and is easy to understand, and is a delightful person. I’m so glad to have taken this tour. Thank you, Ivan!
Ivan’s tour was fantastic! Just what we were looking for and hoping to have: a very knowledgeable guide with great personality and presentation. It is our habit to seek out a walking tour in the places we visit. We have developed a preference for small groups led by a historian or at least someone very familiar with the local history. Ivan was perfect. His presentation was clear, organized, coherent (which can be tricky with all the various rulers and peoples governing Split over all these centuries). He explained misconceptions, gave additional information and answered questions knowledgeablely and acknowledged when he didn’t know an answer. We were so disappointed that he was off the day we wanted to book a tour with him when our sister came to town. We would all recommend Ivan as a guide in a heartbeat!
Ivan is a fantastic guide - he adapted to the different ages & interests in the group, talked with great depth & breadth across the cities extensive & varied history. His passion & knowledge really shined though - thank you Ivan & strongly recommend to all & anyone looking for a guide in Split.
