Explore Diocletian’s Palace and Split Old Town with a private local guide, from Roman cellars to lively squares, for $240 per group.

“Be aware that this mostly takes place in the cellars below the palace (and the reason for that will come out during the tour) - it is not a "sightseeing" tour, but rather an historical tour. Josic, the guide, has every detail about everything that happened 1700 years ago and is excited to share it with you. He makes the stories fun and intriguing, and he keeps even my teenage kids entertained.”
