Full description
This will be your private and personalized sightseeing tour to suit your tempo and interests. Your tour is flexible and guided by a professional, highly qualified guide with a real passion for touring Croatia and showing you its beauty.  You will meet your guide in the center of Split, one of the oldest cities in Croatia, with departure times which suit you. From here, you will embark on a walking tour, exploring Split's 12th- and 13th-Century Romanesque churches, medieval fortifications, 15th-Century Gothic palaces and other palaces in Renaissance and Baroque style.  Stroll around the Roman portion of the city, throughout which the ruins of Diocletian's Palace are scattered, and visit the Cathedral of Saint Domnius. Known locally as St Duje, this is one of the best-preserved ancient Roman buildings standing today, built in the 5th Century on the site where Diocletian, the last famous persecutor of the Christians, was interred in 311 AD.  Other incredible sights include the statue of the medieval Croatian bishop, Gregory of Nin, the Golden Gate and the tower-clock, which has kept time in Split since the 15th Century. In the Medieval Quarter, you can take in City Hall, the Fish Market -– a focal point of life in Split – and the beautiful promenade over Riva Harbor. Your private guide will share facts and stories with you as you experience the vibrant culture of this historic city. This is a tour the whole family will enjoy and your personal guide will customize the itinerary for you.

The palace has a very interesting story, definitely something to learn about while you are in Split. The guide spoke fluent english so we understood all that she was saying. Also, she made the tour very interesting and fun. The tips at the end were of great help for the rest of our stay in Split.

Perfect start for a family in Split This overview of Split was a great way to spend our first day in Split. It was quick enough to not take up your entire day and held our kids attention. Kristina did a fantastic job answering questions and showing us around the old town!

Ante was excelent. His English was perfect and his knowledge was really impresive. He picked us up at our hotel before the tour so we don't get lost on the way to the meeting point. It was definitelly worth it. By far the best walking tour I have been on.
