Great tour! - Josko’s tour was great. Really informative but not excessive in information. He has real lived experience of the area so was able to bring a fascinating personal perspective. Highly recommended.

Stunning city - Joško was the perfect guide for our small group, he kept us entertained whilst educating us with the history of Split. He is truly proud of his country and very generous with his time. I would definitely recommend his tour to everyone who visits Split for the first time as it gives a real taste of where you are and helps you make this most of this beautiful city.

Diocletian"s Palace Tour, Split Croatia - We encountered Josko at the entrance to the palace. Normally, I would not hire a guide that approached me, but we were time limited. Josko was excellent! He explained things thoroughly so one could have a clear picture of this ancient piece of history. He knew his subject matter and added historical context as well as humor. he repeated points that need to be repeated. Sometimes we have trouble following tour guides due to differences in pronunciation or speed at which the guide speaks, but this was not the case for this tour. Do not hesitate to hire Josko for tours of Split.
