Outstanding historical tour of Split

This was the single best historical walking tour that I've taken with my family. The level of detail was just right, especially with our teenage kids. The tour made me genuinely interested in learning more about Croatian history, and it shaped my perspective for the rest of the trip. I can't recommend this tour highly enough!

5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

Personal guide to palace perfect option

Daniela was amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and palace. A point of difference being she was also well prepared with a folder of photos for explanations and a short video demonstrating the building process of the palace. Her communication and personal skills were exemplary. We had a wonderful time with her. It was well worth going into the cellars to understand what construction above would have been like. A perfect way to experience the palace and surrounds.

Walking tour with Josko

Josko was simply amazing. It was onr of if not the bexxt walking tours I have ever been on. He really brought the history of Split to life. My children were enthralled with what they learned. We could have gone on for another 4 hours and not gotten bored. Josko was very very knowledgeable and also very funny

Best walking tour of split

Fantastic trip and a brilliant way to experience Split. We felt like we gained a genuine understanding of the city, its history, culture, and the people who have shaped it over the years. Josco was an exceptional storyteller, bringing the city to life with fascinating insights and personal anecdotes that made every stop more meaningful. He didn't just show us Split; he helped us understand how the city evolved into what it is today. Engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate about his home city, Josco made the experience truly memorable. Well worth the time and one of the highlights of our visit.
