You get a detailed account of the history of Split. The guide, Mia, was very knowledgeable and shared great information about the history and added comical details to her stories about the people of Split. The dalmation’s stores were awesome. The tour was great. Loved it and loved Split.

Enjoyed our tour with Hrvoje. It was punctual and we got started right on time. We learned as we walked a reasonable distance through the palace walls. He was easy to hear in a medium sized group and took photos for us when we asked. Thanks for the great educational tour!

Paula is amazing! Her educational background in art history enriched our experience. She had great recommendations for restaurants, cafes, museums, and islands in and around Split. She has a lovely, laid back vibe while still making sure we hit all of the spots in our tour. We highly recommend Paula!

A fascinating tour

Andrew_M, Jul 2026
You need this!! The tour opens your eyes to amazing things you would miss by wandering around. Our guide was superb and made a particular point of keeping us in shade where possible as much as possible

Guide really helps!

betsy_b, Jul 2026
It’s a big palace really helps to have a tour. Very crowded sadly but our guide navigated us nicely thru the crowds and found shade and a place to sit which helped

Stela gave a very detailed presentation of Split. Loved every minute of it. I highly recommend this tour for a nice explanation of Split and its history.

Highly recommend

ShairaJoyce_J, Jul 2026
Slavko was a great tour guide. Fun and knowledgeable. Great way to spend 1.5 hours knowing intro to the history which allowed me to go back on my own later to continue exploring. Recommend especially if you have limited time, don’t like too much tiring walk, or while waiting for your hotel checkin (in my case)

Great walking tour worth the time and money!

Marcia_C, Jul 2026
We did the walking tour of Split & Diocletian’s Palace with Slavco and he was excellent! Very knowledgeable, spoke perfect English, and knew his way around the Old Town perfectly! Very much enjoyed this tour and felt that I learned a lot.

Wonderful

Renee_H, Jul 2026
We were fortunate enough to book a 10:30 am tour upon our arrival in Split which was nice because it gave us an overview of the area before it became too hot. Mia was our guide and she was AMAZING! Funny and very knowledgeable with not only historical facts but city in general. At the end of the tour Mia provided fabulous recommendations for everything from food to sites to drinks. It was an excellent time

Darrin_M, Jul 2026
This was just the right length of a quick tour to get a feel for Split and the Palace area. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept us in the shade where possible. Still had plenty of time to wander on our own before heading back to ship. Way cheaper than cruise excursions.

Best guide on our third trip the Palace!

Preston_C, Jul 2026
The absolute best guide was SLOVAK (or Slovakia?) He was prompt kind knowledgable funny and has a voice that projected very well!

The guided tour was very good. The reason for 4 stars is because if would have been helpful if we had some sort of listening device to hear over all the other people in crowded areas.
