Wonderful informative palace tour

Published on May, 2025

Anthony, a retired history professor, was an amazingly knowledgeable guide. Tremendously informative about all aspects of the palace. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Great walking tour with Antonela. She explained everything, made us laugh and had great energy! Learned a lot during the tour!

History of Split...

Published on Oct, 2024

This was a real history lesson focusing mainly on the Emperor Diocletian and how Split came to be. Fascinating and factual and perfect for interested history buffs or those who just want to understand and appreciate more fully what you are seeing throughout this fantastic City. Just the right length of time and level of detail and a perfect first choice for our first night here.
