🥇A Perfect Start For Your Visit To Split - Free Tour
Welcome to the best-selling tour in Split! Surrender to the charms of this beautiful Mediterranean city as your guide guides you through its sights. Allow me to introduce you to the incredible historical stories and points of interest that make Split unique. Like yourself, I also like to travel. I feel relaxed and safe when I have a capable and amusing guide who adapts to my needs so I try to do the same when I have guests. On the tour we will speak about ancient history but also about life in Croatia today and HOW MUCH has this country changed in the last couple of decades. Book the tour and I am sure you will remember something about our way of life. Kind regards

Tour description
Go back in time and walk with me in Diocletian's palace. Diocletian's Palace is one of the best preserved monuments of Roman architecture in the world. It is a combination of a luxury villa and a Roman military camp (castrum). This artistic ensemble is something not to be missed. We will take an exciting journey that begins on the bronze walkway map. Then we will access the substructures of the building where we will reveal many secrets. We will go to Diocletian's room where you can get in touch with the lifestyle of the Romans. Then, we will walk through the two main streets of Cardio and Decumanos which are the main streets of every Roman city. We will see the cathedral, the temple of Jupiter, four monumental gates, the statue of Gregorio de Knin, the Pjaca square and the fruit square. You will also see the Peristyle , the center of the palace used for religious reasons. I will also show you the green market and the fish market.
