A Must Do! - I am a former tour guide, and let me tell you, Slavko gave an amazing walking tour of Diocletian's Palace (basically Split). He not only knows the history of the city and Croatia inside and out, but has a great sense of humor, keeping you engaged and enthralled. He is obviously proud of his country (even when joking about their weaknesses) and loves to share its history. And, he speaks better American English than I do! Hvala, Slavko!!

Excellent tour and guide! - Jakov, our tour guide, was a former history teacher so he was especially knowledgeable about the Diocletian Palace. He made the history of the Diocletian very interesting as he pointed out the areas we were seeing. Jakov’s English was excellent. He is personable and shared his love of all sports once he knew he was guiding a group of Wisconsin “cheesehead” Packer fans. Our group had a very special visit. Thank you, Jakov!

Mandatory program in Split - To visit the palace of Diocletian, it is essential to have a good guide. Our (Jakov) was a teacher of English and history, as he presented himself. It was a great guided tour, seeing the main points and knowing the history and curiosities about this place so interesting. Impermissible.

Excellent walking tour of Diocletian’s palace - This is an excellent tour. Yakov started with a really useful overview of the history of the region and Diocletian’s life and then expertly guided us through the palace and adjacent areas. He is knowledgeable and engaging and speaks excellent English. Thoroughly recommended.
