We got our GoT Geek fix while learning about the city. It is a great tour to do on a very hot day as you are indoors for the majority of the tour. Our guide was knowledgeable (both GoT and Split) and friendly and was very much willing to adjust things according to his crowd.

Tour was excellent with some interesting information on both Split and Game of Thrones. Getting to see the basement in the palace as part of the tour was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our guide’s expertise.

Jessica_R, Apr 2026
You get an in-depth walkthrough of the GOT scenes filmed throughout the Split Old Town HOWEVER it is not a full tour of the cellars - very Game of Thrones focused and you get to nerd out about the books!! MATE (pronounced Ma-teh not mate) was the most enthusiastic and engaging tour guide, and made us feel super energised by the end of the tour. His passion for the subject was infectious and we were tempted to book on to the history tour with him as well!!!

Great tour!

afshan_s, Mar 2026
Mate was wonderful! He shared great stories about the film sets in Split and we learned about Croatian history and culture.

Great tour!!!

Lara_T, Oct 2025
Oliver was terrific! First off, he was proud of his job, his city and seemed to have a real passion for the work which was both palpable and contagious. He gave great history facts without being overwhelming, had personal stories as well which I appreciated and inserted GOT facts and pictures throughout the tour. It was good for both GOT fans (my husband) and for those who have never seen a single episode (me). I recommend Oliver and his tour wholeheartedly. I had issue finding the meeting spot and the tour facilitator was not helpful nor did she care.

Game of Thrones - Fun and Educational

Dan_F, Oct 2025
This walking tour was educational and fun. Marin showed us each of the locations where Game of Thrones was filmed with video clips of the show while we were at each location. He also shared the historical information about the palace as well. His wit and humor were funny as well. Good value for the cost!

A great tour

Robert_N, Sep 2025
Whether you’re a huge GOT fan or not this is a must tour, especially if you get Mate as your guide. Not only is a he an expert on the GOT , he knows an extensively about the history of split!

Good but check your options for prices

Terry_M, Sep 2025
The GoT tour was interesting but possibly a little overpriced when compared to some other similar tours. The guide was very good and had a good knowledge of Croatian history. Her English was very good. I thought the tour was also a little shorter than expected as when booking it says approximately 2 hours but our tour lasted about 1 hour 30 minutes.

Loved the tour. Great history, whether or not you watched the show. Gave great perspective of how the city was pre and post game of thrones also. Very new to tourism and they want to excel.

Behind the Palace Walls

Vicky_K, Aug 2025
An excellent tour combining a balance of Diocletian Palace history and Game of Thrones insight. Matt is an exceptional guide!! Not only if he a fountain of knowledge, he was so very witty. This walking tour definitely brought the palace and old town alive for me.

Tomi was wonderful!

Cassie_R, Aug 2025
Tomi was a great tour guide! Very knowledgable of the city and very comical. We had a great time exploring it the cities history and seeing the sites where Game of Thrones was filmed. He made it even more intricate by playing the scenes that were shot in certain locations and the angle in which they were filmed to get the true experience.

Karolee_W, Jul 2025
We had the pleasure of having Mate as our tour guide for this wonderful tour! Mate provided us with a wealth of information about Split, Diocletian’s Palace, and Game of Thrones! He provided our group with pictures, videos, and stories. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour!

Great Split and GOT Tour

Marianne_M, Jul 2025
We had a great time on our tour with Mate! He had so many interesting things to share about the history and sites of Split, beyond the GOT sites, which was great since one in our party hasn’t watched the show. He was also kind enough to provide restaurant recommendations for dinner. We appreciated the evening tour option so we could avoid the hottest part of the day.

Marin, our tour guide,...

Samantha_G, Jul 2025
Marin, our tour guide, was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable. He was great and I would definitely recommend this tour.

Workers were very...

Jack_L, Jun 2025
Workers were very unprofessional, they were fighting outside of the office with customers preventing us from checking in or asking about our trip. This lasted long enough for our group to leave without us and ended up waiting ~25 minutes until they came to get us. Tour guide was rude and asked why we showed up half an hour late to the tour when the situation was made clear. I would book with another company offering this tour as there was nothing unique provided here.

A must-do for any GOT lover!

Devon_H, Jun 2025
We had the absolute pleasure of having Mate as our guide for the Game of Thrones tour in Split, and what a phenomenal experience it was! Mate’s enthusiasm was contagious from the very start — he is incredibly passionate about both the show and the rich history of Split. His knowledge is remarkable; he shared so many fascinating details and behind-the-scenes stories that made the tour truly unforgettable. Beyond being so smart and well-informed, Mate was an absolute joy to spend time with. His humor, energy, and genuine love for what he does made the entire experience fun and engaging for everyone in our group. If you’re looking for a tour that’s not only informative but also filled with laughter and excitement, I can’t recommend Mate highly enough. An outstanding guide who made our visit extra special!

Must take this tour with Mate

Annette_R, Jun 2025
It was perfect! Mate our guide was so knowledgeable about games of thrones and he had videos and pictures. He even had pictures he took himself that we could see in the video like a dented wall. We had the best time and learned about the palace as well. It was perfect timing not too long or short.

We got to see all kinds...

Andrea_S, Jun 2025
We got to see all kinds of cool things, including going into the cellar and walking around the palace. Diocletian’s palace is a bit of a maze, and we saw so much that we didn’t find on our own! Our guide was a little bit pushy - my husband is a game of thrones fan, but I am not. While they looked at videos of scenes, I wandered a few feet away to take photos. I was scolded for not watching the video, but I did not watch the show and therefore didn’t care to watch the videos. I wish our guide would have been a bit more flexible with this.

Entertaining

Pam_F, Jun 2025
Our tour guide Mario, sorry if I butchered his name, was excellent. Very informative and entertaining with his humor. I would definitely recommend

The guide was informative...

Bridget_C, May 2025
The guide was informative but unfortunately, he had to deal with torrential rains including thunder and lightning. Most of the tour was underground, so the rain had little impact there, but the street tour walking was not enjoyable and cut short. No fault of the tour guide but we feel that we missed significantly more than what we were able to see.

No tour given

ron_n, May 2025
They canceled less than 24 hrs before we were to have the tour. I ended up paying the $9 to get into the substructure and just went on my own.

Be Prepared to be Amazed!!

Victoria_S, May 2025
Our tour friend Tomi was so funny and knowledgeable about all things Diocletian, Split and Croatia. We had the best time with him and going through the GOT scenes and history of the palace basement. It was very exciting!!

You GOT it!

Ines_H, May 2025
If you’re a GOT fan, this is it! Our tour guide, Miren, was awesome and very knowledgeable about Split history and GOT.

Brilliant, fun and informative

Louise_N, Apr 2025
Excellent tour, great mix of history, GoT facts and funny/interesting stories about life in Split. Our guide was fab, such a nice man who had so many stories and clearly loves his country and job. Would definitely recommend.

Great way to experience...

Kerry_L, Apr 2025
Great way to experience Split, Diocletian’s Palace, and Old Town. A little bit of history, culture, and GOT all in one tour. Tour operator was very flexible and accommodating, easy to communicate with when I had questions and responded to chat quickly.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed your experience with us. Kind regards, Gray Line

GOT fans

Kelly_S, Apr 2025
Mate was very enthusiastic and had extensive knowledge about the show, scenes and characters. He even went out his way to have the video clips ready to back up his photos of a lot of the sites. The History insight was also great 👍🏻 thanks!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. It means a lot to our team to hear that you had a great time. We hope to welcome you again in the future! Kind regards, Gray Line
