    Best walking tour ever!

    This was an infertile way to learn more about the rich history and details of old town and the palace. I cannot recommend more!

    As good as they get - Josko was just perfect

    Could we give six stars. Josko was fantastic, witty and very knowledgeable. Didn’t even notice how fast centuries of Split history and Diocletian stories in 1.5 hours just flew by. Joined a GOT tour the next day and we were still discussing Joko’s tour. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for joining me on tour, I am very happy you enjoyed it as much as I did. It was my real pleasure to have you on tour and show you my hometown. Wish you all the best, thank you for visiting Split & Croatia🌴⛵️🐬🍹🤗. Warmest regards.

    Great tour guide

    Josko was absolutely over the top more wonderful than I even expected. Learned a lot, saw a lot, and got to notice things I wouldn’t have ever noticed without a guide. Would recommend a guide for this area for sure, and this man absolutely. Amazing! Great job!

    SPLIT-Fun Walking Tour of Diocletian's Palace with Historian: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does SPLIT-Fun Walking Tour of Diocletian's Palace with Historian cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 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 SPLIT-Fun Walking Tour of Diocletian's Palace with Historian 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 SPLIT-Fun Walking Tour of Diocletian's Palace with Historian worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 23 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 SPLIT-Fun Walking Tour of Diocletian's Palace with Historian?

    +

    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 SPLIT-Fun Walking Tour of Diocletian's Palace with Historian 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 SPLIT-Fun Walking Tour of Diocletian's Palace with Historian?

    +

    Around 8 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 SPLIT-Fun Walking Tour of Diocletian's Palace with Historian 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.

    What is included in SPLIT-Fun Walking Tour of Diocletian's Palace with Historian?

    +

    Included: GROUP TOUR is ADULTS ONLY; Tour Organization; Minimum number of participants per booking is 4; Minimum number of participants to run GROUP TOUR is 6, max.16; and Licensed Tour Guide. Not included: Gratuities for Guides are NOT INCLUDED; and Tickets for Cellars, Cathedral, Bell Tower & Jupiter Temple are NOT INCLUDED. These are OP. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for SPLIT-Fun Walking Tour of Diocletian's Palace with Historian?

    +

    Brass/Sea Gate of Diocletian's Palace Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is SPLIT-Fun Walking Tour of Diocletian's Palace with Historian offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for SPLIT-Fun Walking Tour of Diocletian's Palace with Historian?

    +

    Is SPLIT-Fun Walking Tour of Diocletian's Palace with Historian wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
