Full description
Travel back in time on a guided walking tour of Split and explore 1,700 years of the city’s history, from the construction of the Diocletian Palace in 305 CE, to its place as Croatia's second largest city. Uncover sights like the Saint Domnius Cathedral along the way.  Meet your guide at the Golden Gate of the Diocletian Palace and marvel at the remains of an ancient palace from the Roman Empire which now forms about half the Old Town of Split. Stop to view its open colonnades in the palace's central Peristyle square. Continue to the impressive Saint Domnius Cathedral, which is thought to be the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world that remains in use in its original form. Hear about the story of Gregory of Nin by his statue in Giardin Park. Stroll along the Riva promenade to admire views of Marjan Hill and the Adriatic Sea. Finish your tour where it began at the Golden Gate.

Take this tour. The walking tour through Diocletian's Palace was everything we hoped it would be. Our amazing guide, a charming young woman named Carla, spoke perfect English and was a fountain of information. Her knowledge of the history of Split was encyclopedic. She kept track of all of us and walked us around and through the palace and parts of old Split. At less than $40 for two people. This 2-hour tour was an incredible value. Please note: This tour may be difficult for people who have certain medical conditions, mobility issues or who need assistance climbing steep stairs. The ancient stone floor can be quite slippery after a rain.

Antonia has a unique perspective on Split including current political issues and its amazing and long history. I feel like the tour gave us a much better understanding of the history and the way things were built and done back in the 4th century. Way good!!!

Antonia is a TREASURE! Her insights, her knowledge, her humor, and her honesty were only surpassed by her depth of knowledge of her homeland’s history and facts which have shaped the present. Her passion and humor in sharing this information was key to our understanding and appreciation of beautiful Croatia. Give that woman a raise!
