... and we'll be back a third time ... - Already in the Split winter of this year, we were picked up by Dinah Roguljić and taken on an entertaining, lasting journey into the past of Diocletian's Palace.👌 Filled with new knowledge, still feeling the old spirits, Dinah then answered further questions over a 🍷 of the regional, excellent wines in one of the countless, charming restaurants in Split's old town. With the positive memories in our luggage, we decided to listen to Dinah's stories again in the autumn. Even the youngest (9 years old) of our group was able to inspire Dinah with her storytelling, which lasted almost two hours, for the history of Diocletian's Palace.🤗 We would like to recommend Dinah without reservation, it was certainly not our last time.🙂

Perfect guide, very knowledgeable and personable - I learned sooo much from Dinah. Super sweet, helpful and most of all informative. She had interesting historical rendered drawings of the various sites and really made the history, architecture and culture of the palace come alive. She also gave a bunch of restaurant recommendations which I ended up having an amazing dinner at after. Highly recommend her, so glad my five star hotel recommended her.
