Memorable Journey: Where Every Detail Comes Alive and Stays - We had such a wonderful time with Joško! His passion for his work shines through all of his stories and the history he shares. He really transports you back in time and brings his own personal spin to what he shares. We learned a lot and really enjoyed our 3 hrs. Time really passes quickly when you’re having fun! I really recommend Joško’s tour, you won’t regret it.

Fall in love with the History and Culture of Split!!!!! - Wow. What a wonderful experience for my first time in Croatia and Split. For the local knowledge of the city, you need a fun loving guide like Josko! He kept his word and had us fall in love with the city by the end of our tour. He even helped us find our room within Dionysus Castle, because it is truly a maze, gave great recommendations for restaurants for local food, and helped us set up our ferry to Hvar the next day. Such a nice person. If you enjoy history, good energy, laughs, and advice on what else to do in town, then you will not be disappointed. We will book again next time in Split! Hvala Josko!

A Great Historical Tour - Our tour guide was exceptional. His knowledge added a great deal to our understanding of the history and customs of Dalmatia.
His fee was money well spent and we highly recommend the tour.
Be sure to ask him for his "fun facts".

Highly recommend Josko! - Josko is a guide for the ages. He has studied and devoted his life to knowing and sharing the secrets of Croatia’s history, bringing it to life as he guides you through the myriad changes over the centuries. He is fun and fact-filled. We learned later he is also a fabulous singer, so encourage him to set the castle to song as he guides you on a fantastic view of the area of Split encompassing the Diocletian era. Highly recommend Josko!

Fantastic Guide! - We loved the tour we went on today with Jo. He is so personable and knowledgeable about Split and Diocletian’s Palace having grown up
In the area. He took his time walking us through and stopped to give us detailed explanations of what we were looking at. He pointed out so many things we would not have noticed on our own including lord of fun facts! Without him, we wouldn’t have had half the experience that we did. Highly recommend him as a guide!! So glad we found him!

We liked Josko - We enjoyed our tour very much and Josko was a great guide. I knew nothing about Diocletian so it was good to learn about a different part of History
