Josipa clearly has a fabulous knowledge of Split and it’s making. Our tour took us on a journey of the old city, focused on the spectacular architecture of Diocletian’s Palace and how it has developed into modern day Split. The tour was pitched at the perfect level for us and allowed us to maximise our time in Split.
