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.

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

Go beyond the standard tourist’s experience and get a thoroughly enjoyable & engaging take on Croatia and Split. Taboo topics and issues from the past inform and haunt all modern societies, and Marin gives a great perspective on the ways Croatia grapples with its histories, how it defines its present form, and what it needs to do to move forward. On the one hand, you’ll get a crash course in Croatia’s history guided by landmarks of Split’s old town. But this alternative tour also dives into the layers of people, histories, and conflicts in the area, and really gets into what (and who) Croatia really is today. Such an amazing tour with Marin — an engaging, passionate, and considerate guy: clearly well studied in the history and present of the region with the enthusiasm of true passion (and the skillful methods of a high school teacher!) He’s ready to take on any and all questions and opinions, and fill the gaps in your understanding of the region. You seriously don’t want to miss this! (As of July 23, they’re on instagram and facebook to book!)
