“the tour was really well organized. the tour guide Givo gave interesting facts about the old town and city walls. the pace was great and he stopped at appropriate points to make sure everyone was there. the only thing I would change is being able to finish at a cafe in the walls so you could spend more time on the walls at your own leisure. once you leave the walls you can't go back up and it's a one way system. otherwise a great tour would recommend”
Join a 50-minute guided walk from Split’s Riva into Diocletian’s Palace and the Old Town. Guides such as Ina, Natasha, Darko, and Tin explain Roman ruins, medieval lanes, Venetian touches, the Peristyle, palace gates, Fruit Square, and local life.
“Natasha is fantastic! She’s an art historian and as such, she relayed accurate information re: Split. I was intrigued by the story of Emperor Diocletian and the palace he built in Split by 305 CE. But most of all, I was surprised to see the town of Split built in and around the ruins of Diocletian’s Palace. Thank you, Natasha! Your enthusiasm and passion for your work stand out. Keep loving what you do.”
