Fantastic tour for all ages - Josko was amazing!! His knowledge of the Palace and love for history made our visit to Split very meaningful. He gave our family of 9 a private tour and everyone from age 78 to 12 enjoyed it. Would love to come back and spend more time in Croatia.

Great private walking tour of Diocletian Palace and Split old town. - Excellent walking tour of the Diocletian Palace and various features of Split old town. Our guide, Joško, was charming and very knowledgeable. He was happy to adjust the commentary and pace to suit our interests, providing deep detail and both historical and contemporary context, where we wanted, or just the ‘executive summary’, when requested.

Amazing tour of the Palace in Split!!! Highly Recommend! - Josko gave us a private tour of the palace in Split. He was a wealth of knowledge and presented the information in such an engaging way. Our family originally planned on a one hour tour, which we then extended to more than two hours. It’s so obvious that he is proud of the history of Croatia. Honestly, one of the best tours we’ve had.

Well worth it. - We had a great tour of the old palace in Split and got much more out of it than if we just did it ourselves . As it turns out, he also helped plan the cruise part of our vacation.

Learned so much about Split history - Awesome tour. It’s an absolute must if you want to understand life and customs in these parts. Josko is an expert guide. Born and raised in Split center. We learned so much about Split and Dalmatian heritage and we were able to avoid crowds due to Josko’s knowledge. He was patient and attentive and happy to answer any of our questions. Diocletians palace is amazing. A true living museum! I’d recommend this tour to anyone.

Excellent English Walking Tour for History Lovers! - Josko was a great tour guide! He has a deep knowledge of Split’s history and combines that with a good sense of humor appropriate for all ages. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and learned much more about Dioletian’s palace than we had previously gleaned on our own. Highly recommend for English speakers and history lovers!

Fantastic Palace Tour - Fantastic tour. Our guide was very informative and made the tour very interesting. Even on a hot day, he knew how to keep us in shady or breezy areas to keep cool. Lots of “fun facts” as well!
