Fantastic tour with Jasko, highly recommended! - Being born and raised in Split has given Jasko vast knowledge of the historical aspects of Croatia. He was very informative and made the tour enjoyable. He was highly recommended by a friend who lives in Croatia and I would like to encourage you to schedule a tour if history and interesting facts are of value to you.

Outstanding tour - This is a great, brilliant but entertaining tour. You will enjoy this immensely. I’m a history buff but my wife is not and we both loved it. Our guide was so knowledgeable and taught us parts about the the palace we couldn’t have known if we had read about it

Excellent - Joe was absolutely amazing! His knowledge on the Emperor and history of the palace made the tour such a great experience for my husband and I on our honeymoon stop in Split. I highly recommend using him as your tour guide, you will not be disappointed! Added bonus, he also recommended a fantastic local dinner spot for us that was the best food we have had while in Croatia.
