Absolutely wonderful tour - We had a young guide — Tino. He was excellent. He was very organized with multiple stops pre planned. An outstanding attribute of Tino was limiting his comments at each stop to about 5-10 min max. He was attentive to questions, kept the group together in a very crowded place, and entertained with short stories at each stop.
He planned one stop to listen a quartet sing a traditional Croatian harmony in a rotunda the Roman governor used as an entrance to a public square. Amazing!

Fantastic tour 🥳 - Everything was just great! I have already taken part in several tours in many countries and can say that this was one of the best! Slavka knew so much. I enjoyed listening to him. You can tell that he does his job with passion! Time flew by so quickly ☺️ The price-performance ratio is unbeatable. Simply recommended 🤗

a different experience... - This is the palace that made Split famous and is the magnet that attracts visitors to the city. It was built as a complex of several buildings. Part of the complex was the Mausoleum of Diocletian built to house the remains of the emperor after his death, which became in the year 653 the Cathedral of Saint Domnius after being consecrated by the first bishop of Split and makes it the second oldest Catholic cathedral in the world .

Slavko was excellent. He has so much passion for the history of Split and the rest of Croatia. - We learned a lot of the inner workings of the early history of Diocletian’s Palace and what made the place so important in Croatia’s history. Highly recommend this tour. If there is one improvement, it should be extended. There was so much more information to learn. We thoroughly enjoyed our time

Diocletians Palace is Incredible - This is one of the most amazing places in the world - our guide brought the palace to life with her knowledge of the history over the years. There is a lot to see in 90 minutes and the time flew by. Our tour guide was able to share some family history to get a better understanding of the cultural differences that carry on to present day.

An understanding and attentive guide. - Our guide was adorable! We were a group of 6 but only one of us is bilingual. Our guide understood this and took the time to go slowly to allow him to correctly translate the information for us.
Particularly interesting information. It was a real pleasure to make this visit.

Just ok - Very nice guide but she seemed focused on all the destruction the Christians did and how they discarded the artifacts. At times she would ask us who did this , waiting for us to reply “the Christians”.
It felt strange .

Dry - My guide was very factual and informed but her presentation was somewhat dry. I decided to cut out early.
