Split & Diocletian's Palace Walking Tour - a wonderful way of exploring the medieval town of Split! - We recently took the Historic Downtown Walking Tour - Booking was straightforward, and the meeting point was conveniently located near a popular landmark.
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made the local history come alive with fascinating anecdotes.
He was a fantastic guide maintaining high energy and engagement throughout the tour.
Overall, the tour was highly enjoyable and informative. I would certainly recommend it, especially to those interested in a comprehensive historical overview without feeling rushed. A great value for money !
