    Great tour and guide

    Our tour was wonderful! Our tour guide was the best of our 16 day trip and she made it so fun. It was very interesting and we learned a lot. The price was very fair for the tour we got.

    A Brilliant Tour

    This guided tour was well worth the money and one of the highlights of our trip to Split. Ivana was a brilliant guide, full of energy and enthusiasm and we learnt so much from her tour. The tour around the old town/palace is just the right length and it's not so long you can’t do anything else with your day. We were a few minutes late to the meeting point but Ivana took the time to wait for us and even messaged asking if we were okay. Would highly recommend.

    Martha was a great tour guide ‼️

    Martha was a great tour guide. The company responses are timely and Martha was very knowledgeable and loud speaking for our group to hear. She offered us additional assistance when we asked about local beaches and made sure we knew the transportation options. Recommend this company for Split excursions 🇭🇷

    Diocletian Palace and Split Old Town SMALL GROUP Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.

    How much does Diocletian Palace and Split Old Town SMALL GROUP Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $16 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 Diocletian Palace and Split Old Town SMALL GROUP Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours 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 Diocletian Palace and Split Old Town SMALL GROUP Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 353 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Split, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Diocletian Palace and Split Old Town SMALL GROUP Walking Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Diocletian Palace and Split Old Town SMALL GROUP Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Diocletian Palace and Split Old Town SMALL GROUP Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 124 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Diocletian Palace and Split Old Town SMALL GROUP Walking 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 Walking Tour with Professor of History, Split Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister 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.
