Frane was our guide and he did a great job covering the historic details of the Palace and even shared personal details about growing up in Dalmatia. Two small recommendations: Frane talked a bit fast and he inserted a few political views while describing the transformation of the Palace. While we were okay with these undertones, I can see some visitors being put-off by them. Overall I would definitely recommend this tour and Frane to others.

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.
