Full description
Step into the past as you explore the historic city of Split. Let your experienced tour guide take you back in time when Split was nothing but a summer house for the powerful Roman emperor Diocletian. In a 1:15-hour tour, you will see all the most famous and important landmarks that the 1700-year-old city has to offer.  Before you pass through the golden gate of Diocletian's Palace, your guide will give you facts about the palace. Once inside you will have the feeling of being in a maze thanks to all the small and narrow alleys that were built to shield the local people from the strong winter wind. While walking, you will see the magnificent Peristil which used to be the main square of the palace.  Next to Peristil, you can find the Saint Domnius (Sveti Dujam) Cathedral, a symbol of Split. It used to be a mausoleum of the emperor in the 4th century before it was turned into a church. Right next to the bell tower, there is a sphinx that was brought to Split from Egypt. It is recommended that you climb to the top of the bell tower to experience panoramic views of Split. You will then walk through Diocletian’s cellars and find yourself on the main promenade and modern city center - Riva where your guide will share more about the city and its rich history with you.

Do the walking tour! There’s so much history in Split with different eras of invaders and settlers, it was great to learn from Klara on this walking tour. She was very knowledgeable and patient in answering our questions. The tour ended being a small group with three of us, a great way to learn about the history of the Diocletian palace and more!

You really have to do this to get to know the city. Not only the basics, but also facts that you can't just find online. The guide Sandra knew everything about the city, is very nice, funny and cheerful. This tour company is definitely recommended, I have also taken another successful tour here.

Maria was our guide. She was very nice, personable and easy to understand. We learned a lot about the historical side of Split and we also got recommendations for good food and other spots worth seeing in town. It was entertaining and informative. We could have walked more hours with her without getting bored.
