Walk Split’s Old Town with a history professor, from Diocletian’s palace to Golden Gate and Fruit Square. Small group.

“Excellent tour of the Diocletian Palace and the rest of the Split Old Town. It's still amazing to see a living part of the city that's over 1700 years old! Our guide Mario was very knowledgeable of historic facts, as well as restaurants and shops to visit in and around the Old Town. He spoke well and kept our attention with his fun stories. He was kind enough to keep us in the shade while speaking and moved us around enough so that our backs didn't hurt from standing in one spot too long. We really appreciated this.”
