Perfect guide. - So interesting! I learned so much. The guide was 27 years old and so good to tell us about the Palace and the history WAY back. I was moved to hear about the history of the country also.

Great piece of history presented by an amazing guide! - My husband and I have been on several Viator excursions aroud the world.. Simply put, Antonia Bakkan, in Split Croatia stands our as one of the best guides we've ever had. Simply put, she was terrific. She is extremely knowledgeable and very charming. Obviously, Split's Diocletian era history is fascinating, but having a guide who knows it well as well as most eras of history, was delightful. She answered all our questions while keeping the journey moving. After an astounding journey, it turns out that she knows Split's restaurant community extremely well and had great recommendations.!
