Outstanding private walking tour of Split

My husband and I booked a private tour with Joško and it was absolutely a highlight of our time in Split. Not only is he a master storyteller, his depth of knowledge and infectious passion for his beautiful home town truly bought nearly two millennia of eventful history to life for us. I plan to urge anyone I meet who is planning a trip to Split to tour with him, and will definitely look him up for other tours on future trips to the area. Book with Joško; you’ll be very happy you did!

What to say about Jošco?...

What to say about Jošco? Fantastic by engaging everyone in the history of Split, even having a such young audience, he managed to make interesting for them. Excellent.

Fantastic Walking Tour of Split

Our tour guide, Joško, was truly fantastic. His passion and love for his hometown and its history was apparent every moment on the tour. We were so impressed by his deep knowledge of the entire history of Split. He truly excelled at balancing the tour with fun moments and informative history. I can confidently say it was one the best tours we have been on. I would recommend Joško’s tour to everyone visiting Split.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND JOŠKO!!!

Joško was phenomenal! 100% the best tour we could have done! We weren’t sure if we wanted to do a tour but saw him and instantly wanted to book with him. My family consisted of my dad on a scooter (broken foot), my sister in a wheelchair and my son in a stroller and Joško made sure to accommodate everything for us and still give us a very informative and amazing tour! Joško had all of the facts, with visuals, and was able to answer all of our questions. I would highly recommend him to everyone I meet visiting Split. DEFINITELY BOOK WITH Joško!!!

Wonderful history of the Diocletian Palace

Our family of five took this tour with Joko as our tour guide. He was excellent and really gave us a true history lesson of the Diocletain Palace, explaining details we would have never discovered on our own. We enjoyed the history lesson, seeing the beauty of the palace and the surrounding area.

A great tour experience - Old Town & Diocletian’s Palace

The entire tour was an excellent experience. Joe was very knowledgeable of the Palace and the Old Town. He relayed the information in an organized manner and added many details in a humorous way. He painted a picture of life in the Palace that made it come alive during our tour. My family all agreed that the experience with Joe was one of the highlights of our vacation.

An amazing tour, informative and funny with excellent pace. 'Joe' was the consummate professional and he really made our stay in Split exceptional. I can't stress enough how positive his tour was on our impression of Split and how much I'd recommend the city to my friends and family.
