Hello, adventurers! I'm your guide through history. I've been navigating the twists and turns of time for a solid 10 years now, and let me tell you, it's not just a job – it's my passion! Born and raised in the heart of Split, I've been deeply connected to this city for generations. Believe it or not, I've been strolling these cobblestone streets since I was knee-high! But the story doesn't stop there. I'm not just a local lad; I've taken my love for history and adventure to new heights. I've worked on legendary American cruisers like Celebrity and Disney, bringing a touch of Dalmatian charm to the high seas of the Atlantic. You know, passengers there often said I have that 'special spark' when I talk about Split's history – and I think they're right! So, my friends, let me take you on an incredible journey through time and space. Under my guidance, every nook of Diocletian's Palace will become your personal story.

Tour description

Step into a time machine with me and let's blast back to ancient Split for an epic historical adventure at Diocletian's Palace! Get ready to be wowed by one of the coolest monuments of Roman architecture on the planet.

Picture this: we're walking on a bronze walkway map, feeling like real-life explorers as we navigate through this massive palace. But hold onto your togas because the real fun begins when we dive into the palace's hidden substructures.

Next stop: Diocletian's swanky pad. We'll check out where the emperor himself kicked back and lived large. Then, we'll hit the streets – Cardio and Decumanos, the main arteries of ancient Roman cities. It's like stepping into a time warp!

But wait, there's more! We'll ogle at the grand cathedral, pay our respects at the temple of Jupiter, and snap pics galore at the monumental gates. And let's not forget about the quirky spots like the statue of Gregorio de Knin and the bustling Fruit Square – Split's got surprises around every corner!

So, grab your toga and join me on this rip-roaring adventure through history. Diocletian's Palace awaits, and trust me, you won't want to miss a minute of it!
