Diocletian’s Palace
275kaseyd, October 2026
Slavko was an excellent guide. We learned about Diocletian, the palace history and structures, and the Dalmatian people. Funny, authentic, entertaining. I even considered booking another tour with him. It was well worth the money!

Great walking tour but would have liked to see more of Split
Traveler64762890562, October 2026
This was an excellent walking tour. Our guide was engaging and very knowledgeable and we all found the tour very interesting. The Diocletian Palace is fabulous, particularly the mausoleum and cellars. We were expecting to see more of Split, given the title of the walk, and this would have added a positive aspect to the tour. That said, we all enjoyed it.

Tour cancelled last minute
Glynns17, October 2026
They cancelled our tour just a few hours before it started and tried to get us to take a later 3:30 tour. If I hadn’t checked my messages on trip Advisor I would have missed the notice and shown up for a non existent tour. Luckily I was able to book with another company at the last minute (see review) and had a great experience
