Interesting tour adjusted based on the weather (Cave instead of Salona due to high heat) and the cave is magnificent, so it was a good choice. The guide (Anteo) was really great, friendly, clear, and very nice. Small group.
A really interesting tour to get to know the history of each place, “Anteo” was very knowledgeable with the history of each spot. Klis fortress is not to be missed. It is preferred to take this tour maybe in the afternoons 3:30-4 PM when the sun is a bit calmer, since Salona and Klis are very open and it can get very hot under the sun. Note, Klis fortress requires climbing some steps and ramps and no lifts available.
This was an amazing excursion!!! Goran, the tour guide for the Split Walking tour portion eloquently described the highlights and history of the Diocletian Palace area while deftly negotiating the crowded corridors He was awesome! Then, he handed me off (because I was the only person on the walking tour who signed up for the fortress and Ssona part) to another truly awesome tour guide, Slavko, who’s exuberant personality and extensive knowledge of his country’s history transformed these important historical sites into vibrant places of action and intrigue.
Great tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Split. Great walking tour of the old city. The Klis fortress was very impressive.
