A tour you don't want to miss
This was my first ever urban adventure and I was in for a treat. From the moment we met, throughout the entire trip, Mirjana made me feel at home in her city. Not only was she a wealth of information, she made the city's past and present come alive through her engaging stories.

Amazing Tour
Great tour, amazing city and an incredible story. We were so so happy we took this tour. It gave us more insight in Croatia and Split. Intrepid Urban Adventure tours never disappoint.

As local as it gets
Amazing afternoon with Mirjana! Started from the Riva (promenade) and made our way through busy streets of Split, squinchy yet easily navigable to the main sights! Admired to the stories of the past - Roman Emperors and did I mention the Sphynx?! Afterwards we swooped to the Green market within the walking distance and got ourselves local snacks, cheese, olives and grapes - worthy the nectar of gods! Highly recommendable for an easy Split immersion experience!

Fun, fun, fun!!
Amazing tour, beautiful and fun guide Mirjana and most of all, amazing city! I do wish she talked more about a local football club Hajduk but I guess i was the only one interested in that part of Split history. Again, do your self a favor and book this tour because it’s the most fun thing my friends and me did in Europe this year!

Story of Split
They say "It's about the journey, not about destination", and what a journey it was! An absolute pearl to our trip of Dalmatian coast was a sightseeing tour of Split. Guide Mirjana was the best I've ever experienced, full of interesting facts that were shared through amazing stories. Absolute blast! A must when in Split!

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Split: Visit Diocletian Palace & Taste Food at the Market: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does Private Split: Visit Diocletian Palace & Taste Food at the Market cost?
+
Prices start at $62 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 Private Split: Visit Diocletian Palace & Taste Food at the Market take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Private Split: Visit Diocletian Palace & Taste Food at the Market worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 33 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 Private Split: Visit Diocletian Palace & Taste Food at the Market?
+
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 Private Split: Visit Diocletian Palace & Taste Food at the Market suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Split: Visit Diocletian Palace & Taste Food at the Market?
+
Around 12 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Split: Visit Diocletian Palace & Taste Food at the Market 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.
