Very informative tour. It was a great way to explore Split on our first day of travel. We saw many hidden parts of the palace that I would have never known even existed

We had the most wonderful walking tour with Joško. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and generous with his time. We learnt so much about the history of Croatia and Split, both ancient and more recent, and Joško brought it all vividly to life. We couldn’t recommend this tour with him more highly.

We had a great tour with our guide Josko. The history of the Diocletian Palace is fascinating, and we learned so much more by having a knowledgeable guide. He had a very easygoing demeanor, a great sense of humor, and great stories. I would highly recommend this tour if you have an interest in history and architecture

Our tour guide was excellent. He was knowledgeable and truly interested in sharing the history of his hometown, Split. Viator is great with communication, the booking, the upcoming experience, the meeting point, our tour guide contacted us with his name and contact info. No details left unturned.

What to say about Jošco? Fantastic by engaging everyone in the history of Split, even having a such young audience, he managed to make interesting for them. Excellent.

Joško was very informative and fun as well. We learned a lot about Split in a very fun way. His way of passing on the history of his hometown is very interesting and witty.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent tour! Josko was an outstanding guide and an incredible storyteller who brought the history of Diocletian’s Palace and Split to life. His knowledge, passion, and engaging style made the experience both educational and entertaining. The pace of the tour was perfect—never rushed and with plenty of time to take everything in. We learned so much that we never would have discovered exploring on our own. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Split!

My family of 5 had a great private tour with Josko. He was very personable and diligently guided us around Diocletian’s Palace and Old Town. We learned so much about the palace and the city that we would’ve never known without the tour. There isn’t much signage in the palace so a tour is the way to go if you want to actually understand what you’re looking at. Josko kept the dialogue engaging throughout the tour and was very informative without getting boring. Josko was also great at showing us around while mostly avoiding the giant tour groups which was a major bonus.

Very informative and humorous at the same time. Jocko was able to present thousands of years of history into digestible and memorable slices for a couple of jet lagged tourists. That's a big feat!

It was very informative and we highly recommend this tour. Our guide Josko knew a lot about the history of Romans and the town. He took his time to take our questions and show us few additional sites not in the tour. We would highly recommend him for anyone looking to learn more about Split and its history
