About this experience
Welcome to Split. At its ancient heart is Diocletian's Palace, which is 1,700 years old. It’s on UNESCO’s World Heritage List too, along with the rest of the city’s historical centre. This self guided audio tour starts with a bird’s eye view of this old town, at a scale model of it on the Riva Promenade. From there, we’ll visit the cellars of Diocletian's Palace, the imperial residence, the palace’s central square, which is called the Peristyle. We’ll then whirl forward in time after that, making our way into the northern part of the palace compound with its medieval buildings, including the Jewish Ghetto. From there, we’ll take a walk through Split’s historical centre that’ll lead us onto the Riva Promenade again. The tour ends at the elegant Prokurative and Fruit squares, after a leisurely stroll along the city’s French-style boulevards and discover. Please note that this tour does not require you to enter any of the ticketed venues along the way.

Nope
Doesn’t work properly. Save your money. We didn’t want to be in a big group but this wasn’t the answer
Response from the operator: Hi there, I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your experience. When you were having technical difficulties, did you contact VoiceMap support via email or telephone? We are contactable by both telephone and email, so if you have technical difficulties, please reach out to us so we can identify what is going wrong. Again, I'm sorry about the poor experience you had. Best, Helene

So worth it
10 out of 10 self-guided tour. So interesting and you can start and stop, take your time, etc. I stopped to do a museum tour and then for a people-watching lunch on my own - fantastic day
via Tripadvisor
Great way to experience Split’s old town
Easy to follow and fun to listen to. This guide made sure we saw the key sights and understood what we were looking at. We enjoyed hearing about the history and culture as we strolled through Split. It was nice to go at our own pace.
via Viator
An easy, accessible guide to see around a city.
First time to try this but we wanted something that wouldn’t be too intense and which we could stop and start as we wished. It was very easy to follow and gave good information on the Roman sites which we were interested in. Would definitely do again in another city.
via Tripadvisor
Good guide
Great tour - well presented and easy to follow (except at start where GPS put me slightly wrong but easily recovered) Would recommend

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
A Journalist's Guide to Split: A GPS Audio Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does A Journalist's Guide to Split: A GPS Audio Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Split usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does A Journalist's Guide to Split: A GPS Audio Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Split is not rushed.
Is A Journalist's Guide to Split: A GPS Audio Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Split, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule A Journalist's Guide to Split: A GPS Audio Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is A Journalist's Guide to Split: A GPS Audio Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book A Journalist's Guide to Split: A GPS Audio Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Split can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Split and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does A Journalist's Guide to Split: A GPS Audio Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Split within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Split?
+
On Outty we rank every Split experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Split Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister of History, Split Walking Tour with Professor of History, From Split: Krka Waterfalls, Food & Wine Tasting Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Split?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Split?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
