Excellent History Tour of Diocletian’s Palace - Diocletian’s Palace Today we took a history walking tour with Joško, starting at the rendition of the original palace. Joseph gave us an EXCELLENT background of the history of the palace as well as the city, era etc. His charismatic way of delivering the story kept us (group of six) entertained and impressed with his wealth of knowledge. Little anecdotes thrown in throughout the close to 2 hour tour kept us all waiting for the next explanation of areas that we were seeing. I highly recommend him especially if you really want to appreciate the enormity and magnificence of this UNESCO treasure.

Outstanding! Must do tour for Split. - We scheduled our tour with Josko for just a a few hours after our arrival, and now our visit in Split will be so much richer. Josko shared thousands of years of history and fun facts on castle, architecture, and how transitions in power over centuries have made Split what it is today. Josko tells the stories with charm and humor. I HIGHLY recommend this tour - you will not be disappointed!!

Jo was the best! - We stumbled upon our tour guide Jo on entry into the palace. He was able to do a private tour for us on our timing and everything was great. We learned a lot and appreciated his knowledge of the history of his hometown. He is very friendly and speaks English well!

Knowledge Guide - We met Joško at the gate. We were so pleased to have him as our guide. Growing up in Split he knew the details of ancient history to present. Taking us to all areas of Diocletians palace and little side streets. I can’t remember when we’ve had a guide so knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend him! His email is [email protected] Nancy & Mark Wisconsin USA

Seeing Split through the eyes of a true local. - The Walking Tour of Split with local guide Joško Zović was exceptional! He arrived as a tour guide and left as a friend. His expert knowledge combined with some local humour left us (a group of 6) fully satisfied and wanting more.. We saw his Split, the past and present through the eyes of a true local. Thank you Joško.
