1,700 years of Croatian history and culture in 90 minutes! - The Split & Diocletian's Palace Walking Tour was truly amazing! Our local tour guide, Antonia, was professional, yet personable. Her English was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable and able to bring Split’s history to life, with colorful stories and anecdotes. Antonia showed us around the maze-like streets of the enormous Diocletian's Palace, as well as the outside park and the larger-than-life statue of Gregory of Nin. All in all, the tour far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it for anyone who has limited time in Split and wants to pack 1,700 years of Croatian history and culture into 90 minutes!

Don’t miss this tour! - Marta was super knowledgeable and pleasant. She relayed historical facts in a very clear manner. Very easy to understand. 1.5 hours was a good length of time for this tour. Highly recommend this tour to get a better understanding of the palace. Or else you end up just roaming around.

Great 90 minute walking tour - Karla did a great job keeping us together, spoke loudly so that everybody could hear her well, and was extremely knowledgeable. That paired well with good weather and a beautiful palace.

Diocletian Palace Tour - Great value for the money, we learned quite a lot of history from Antonia about Split, Croatia and the Diocletian Palace. For me, at times it was a bit too much history but for others in my group it was not. It can be a bit crowded at times trying to get through some of the narrow streets. It would be nice to see the Palace still stay as homes for people and not as much restaurants and shops in there. We did not tour any part of Split which is in the title and I thought would be part of it. She did provide great info on places to eat after the tour.

Tour guide had a good... - Tour guide had a good knowledge of history, but needed to talk slower. They change meeting place day of, and I did not have cell service to see change. By the time we found her, it was 10 minutes into tour and she seemed annoyed with us!
