Get your walking shoes ready and adventure back during barbarian days. See great pillars of ancient times of stone and deep tunnels. Touch the gold toe for luck and make a wish. Enjoy this trip with a great guide that was filled with much historical facts as well as hidden stories beyond years.
Historic information was integrated well into tour sites. We were surprised that some portions of the palace were not included in the tour.
Mili was an excellent tour guide. It was complete with history & humour. At 90 minutes, this was the prefect length to gain an understanding of ancient Croatia, the legacy of the Romans, the French influence and the establishment of modern Split. Highly recommend.
Excellent tour! Very informative! Marino was great. Knowledgeable and funny too! Learned so much about this beautiful place. Great to do on our first day to get to know area and history. Priced very well! Worth it! Don’t hesitate to book! So glad we did!
Interesting and informative walking tour, with time to take photos along the way. We booked on a whim a couple of hours beforehand as we wanted to know more about the history of Split after enjoying strolling around independently.
A great way to learn a little about the history of all things you are looking at and wondering about. Guide was very informative .
Our guide Anton - Hands down the best walking tour guide we’ve ever had all across Europe Deep knowledge, highly interactive and high energy. Very highly recommended and appreciated! - Thank you Anton!
Very informative and interesting first time exposure to the palace history. Would recommend to all new visitors.
The walking tour was Very informative, the guide spoke excellent English. She answered all questions the group had.
An amazing engaging, funny and informative small time intimate tour. Would 100% recommend! It felt distinctly different from the larger tours we saw.
This is a very personal and informative tour by a scholar and professor, who knows more about the Diocletian Palace of Split than probably anyone in the universe. Professor Vedran Mastosic is amazing, fun and approachable as he led us through this amazing city in the walls at this ancient palace and Fortress. He actually also has a book for sale at the end which I highly recommend. If you can also visit the ruins of solana afterwards. Five stars.
Great information delivered in a fun way! Saw all the areas around the palace
Marino was fantastic x
I found this tour historically interesting and if you were looking for something to do that is short in time, I would suggest this. Our tour guide was easy to find amongst all the other tours happening, which was nice Naissan. She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Just a heads up there are several areas of the palace that we did not get to see because you have to pay a fee and do it on your own. That was a little annoying, but otherwise it was interesting to hear about the history of the palace and city. It was a perfect amount of time one suggestion if you are coming to split make sure you take a ferry over to Brad Island, which is only about 20 minutes away. I wish I would have known ahead of time because I would’ve loved to stay overnight there. It’s not to be missed even if you just go for a few hours like we did. Very easy to book a ferry the day of.
A succinct tour of Diocletian’s palace and bits of old town with a phd historian. It’s great way to orient yourself with the city
This was a fantastic private tour of Split. Our group would highly recommend it. The other tours we saw all had headsets and there were at least 30+ per group. We had our questions answered and saw everything easily.
We had a great tour with Magdalena, she was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Really enjoyed learning about Split’s history from her.
Really great experience with a lovely guide who knew her stuff. Really enjoyed the tour and let us have a idea of where to go in Split
Maggie was incredibly knowledgeable, spoke loudly and answered all questions. The palace is a great living monument.
Really great intro to the city - we had a good guide who was knowledgeable and efficient and loved her home city
The Split tour was a bit underwhelming. While the guide was friendly, we didn’t find the tour particularly engaging, and it was difficult to keep the kids’ attention. We felt there was an opportunity to make the experience more interactive and interesting. By comparison, we had a much more enjoyable tour in Dubrovnik the following day.
Thorough walking tour of the Palace and Split culture. Paula did a wonderful job showing us the highlights of the castle and proving details of the living palace today.
Very informative and fun. Learned a lot about the history and enjoyed the walk through Old Town with the group.
Goran was an excellent guide who was very informative and answered questions we had as he took us around the city telling us about the history of Split.
Our guide was informative & we so enjoyed the experience. Definatejy recommend this tour to understand Split history
Magdelena was a fantastic guide who clearly has a passion for her job. She immerses you in the past with stories and anecdotes. I really enjoyed myself!
Our guide was amazing! They were super knowledgeable on the history of Split and Diocletian's palace. We learned a ton about Split in the 90 min tour and it was fascinating.
We had the best time on this tour!! It’s beyond worth it for the price paid and our tour guide Maggie was so knowledgeable and engaging. I learned so much more about the city and truly had the most wonderful time!!
The walking tour allows visitors to follow the history of the city and the architectural gems built over centuries. Highly recommend visitors to do the tour.
Great experience, shout out to Mr Matosic - wonderful tour guide who was very knowledgeable and passionate
This was a great tour of Diocletian’s Palace. Our guide, Marijan, was knowledgeable and entertaining. It was easy to set up scheduling.
