Prashant – Germany

We had a very enjoyable tour around Diocletian’s palace. Our guide Ivana was a true local, very knowledgeable and passionate about Split. She took care to keep us in the shade, mixing brief walks with plenty of pauses so the tour remained comfortable, also for my parents in their 60s. The overall duration and time was great for our first day. Would highly recommend.

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.
