What people are saying about Diocletian's Palace

Excellent tour. 4 of us were in port for the day on a cruise ship and wanted to learn all we can about the history of Split. Friendly helpful experienced local guide. Highly recommended.

A nice and quiet tour through the streets of the old Split, the guide was very good and gave the explanations very clearly.

Had trouble finding the 'Golden Gate'. Northern Gate apparently is the name the locals know it as.

Jakov was fantastic. Really great tour. I'd definitely recommend to anyone visiting.

Renato was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and interesting.
