This was a nice walking tour of Diocletian's Palace for a fair price. Our guide did a great job of limiting how much time we had to spend in the direct sunlight which we appreciated given how hot it was. However, the tour did not cover much ground. We spent the 45 minutes of the tour in the same plaza where the tour started. We then had to wait for a 're-enactment' which felt like a giant waste of time. Given that we did not cover more of the old town, we would have appreciated more unique stories and insights when we did stop at points of interest. We also did not get to stop by the synagogue as was indicated on the itinerary which we would disappointing but we covered this on our own. Overall, it was a nice day but not sure we would do again.
Thorough walking tour of the Palace and Split culture. Paula did a wonderful job showing us the highlights of the castle and proving details of the living palace today.
We discovered about this tour inside the palace. Marino was an amazing guide. Knowledgeable and perfect story teller. He engaged my two kids for the whole 1.5 hours. 100% recommended.
Marino was very knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all of our questions. He made the tour interactive and interesting.
Very good value for money. Knowledgable and engaging guide. We loved it!
Very informative and fun. Learned a lot about the history and enjoyed the walk through Old Town with the group.
Fantastic 90 minute tour. Our guide Goran was both informative and good humoured We learnt so many interesting facts and he pointed out elements of the architecture we would have otherwise missed without him. One of the best tours we’ve been on in years. Would highly recommend!
Goran was an excellent guide who was very informative and answered questions we had as he took us around the city telling us about the history of Split.
A very nice experiment with a very friendly tour guide.
