Our guide was excellent. He was engaging and full of knowledge. Very good price. I liked that it was only 1.5 hours so did not occupy our day
The guide was excellent -=. Definitely 5*. However, advertised as max 15 to a group. There were about 35 when we started and agent was still trying to recruit more from people nearby. We paid a small group rate - more than £40 per person - to avoid large groups issues.. But the guide was brilliant, knowledgeable, friendly with excellent English.
Anthony, a retired history professor, was an amazingly knowledgeable guide. Tremendously informative about all aspects of the palace. We would definitely recommend this tour.
Great walking tour with Antonela. She explained everything, made us laugh and had great energy! Learned a lot during the tour!
This was a real history lesson focusing mainly on the Emperor Diocletian and how Split came to be. Fascinating and factual and perfect for interested history buffs or those who just want to understand and appreciate more fully what you are seeing throughout this fantastic City. Just the right length of time and level of detail and a perfect first choice for our first night here.
