Great tour and guide - This was a great tour. Josko was a great and really informative guide. We really enjoyed it. This is a great way to spend a few hours and learn about Split from someone that grew up in city.

Story Telling at its finest! - Worth the time and the money!!!!!! What a tour and what a lovely guy Josko was. His story telling, passion for his birth place and the knowledge he shared was simply amazing If you’re in any doubt as to the investment of time to do this tour, stop and book it immediately.

Excellent walking tour of Split - The tour guide Josko met us as arranged. He was friendly and very knowledgeable of Split and it's history. After a general introduction, we entered the palace and purchased a museum ticket for a small fee. He then guided us around the museum pointing out interesting facts that we would have missed if we had visited the museum independently. He then guided us through the rest of the palace and even took us to a shop to sample some local chocolate. I would thoroughly recommend a tour with Josko if you are interested in finding out more about this interesting city and want a more personal experience.

Excellent guide - Joško is a great guide and very passionate. We learned in 2 hours more about history then in high school. The enthusiastic way of explaining made that we weren’t bored for 30 seconds. Above expectations.. ;-)

Great! - This was an amazing tour! Josef was an excellent guide; very knowledgeable and full of interesting fun facts. We are a family of 6 adults and we all really enjoyed the tour. Our first impression of Split was not great until Josef took us around the castle and the different parts of town. Split is great once you get off the promenade! Josef even gave us a great restaurant recommendation and told us about an outdoor music venue in the castle courtyard. I highly recommend Josef and this tour!

Split Palace tour - Josko was a great tour guide. Seeing the basement substructure of the palace without his guidance would have been a waste of time and money. It was amazing! Thanks so much. 😍
