Oliver, our guide, was very knowledgeable and informative. The pacing of the tour was excellent. His stories and photos added much to the experience. A wonderful guide can make all the difference.
Wonderful walk through old town and the Diocletian palace. The history information was fantastic. Our guide was informative and showed a love of his city. Highly recommend.
Anita, our local guide, was amazing! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and customized our private group tour. I highly recommend Anita for a memorable walking tour of Split.

This is a quick way to learn about Split’s Old City including Diacletian’s palace, Mate Beric did a great job and you can see his passion for it and the city.
My initial tour was cancelled so I was fortunately accommodated on another date. Their communication is clear. I really enjoyed the tour. I think the guide was Ana (trainee lawyer) apologies if I'm getting the name wrong but she was lovely. Very knowledgeable and she shared a good restaurant recommendation too. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants a nice taster or intro to the city.
The tour guide was excellent, knowledgable, humorous and navigated us through very busy and narrow streets very well. However, we were late for the tour because the Viator app told us one meeting place and the WhatsApp message I had from what was obviously a sub-contracted tour company, told us something totally different. We found the lady in the meeting place from the Viator app very rude and unhelpful. We managed to find our own way to the tour and caught them up, no thanks to the app or the tour company. Thankfully, we only missed 5 mins and the tour guide soon made us forget our frustration.
Our guide did an amazing job of reviewing lots of history and making the tour very interesting. We had a great time.
Interesting tour with a knowledgeable tour guide. We could learn a bunch about Split’s history and development. The tour could definitely be longer.
The tour was fun and easy, our guide Ivan was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We got to know Split in a few n and easy way.
Slaves, our guide was great! Very knowledgable and passionate about the history, funny, and well organized.
Fun and educational! Marija was great! You would not know what you are seeing nor the history of Split.
Our tour guide, slavko, was exceptionally good - funny; knowledgeable and patient. Able to explain complicated history in a concise and accessible way.
We never took the tour. There was lightening and thunder at 10:30 and they were not able to accommodate us after the remain left at noon. Too bad.
Outstanding. Our guide Marija was so good we booked a private tour with her. She’s a history teacher and not only knew a ton about the history of Split, but also Croatia generally, architecture, and many more things. Truly a gem!
I had the pleasure of touring the Tour Diocletian's Palace with Dana. Her positive and enthusiastic approach to the guide was a warm welcome to Split. Dana was so relatable and shared her personal connections to to Split and the palace while discussing the history of the outstanding palace. It felt more of a conversation with a well versed friend. We ended the tour with a personalized postcard and a few food/drink recommendations. I would highly recommend this tour and believe it was the best way to start my stay in Split.
La guida Slavto e’ stata bravissima e simpatica !! Raccomando questo tour della città e suggerisco di farlo la sera quando fa meno caldo
