Tour description

This tour will take you through the highlights of Split’s Old Town - the remarkable Diocletian’s Palace.

You’ll experience the unique blend of history and modern life, while learning about the traditions and stories of the people who still call this ancient Roman palace their home.

A fun fact: Diocletian’s Palace, built over 1700 years ago, continues to serve as a residence for many today. It’s like stepping into living history!

To ensure everyone receives personal attention, I keep the group size small—no more than 15 people—allowing for a more engaging and intimate experience.

A quick note on tips: if you feel I’ve delivered a great experience, a tip of 10-20 EUR per person is expected as a customary way to show appreciation for the effort and care put into the tour. It’s a respectful gesture that acknowledges the value of the insights and stories shared.

Throughout the tour, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of Split’s rich past and dynamic present, uncovering its fascinating history while enjoying the vibrant city it is today.

The tour lasts around 1 hour and 15 minutes, plus additional time for recommendations for after the tour.

I’m genuinely excited to share this journey with you!

Warm regards, and I look forward to seeing you in Split,
