What you get

    About this experience

    We start our tour at the Riva, the promenade of Split. Through the Bronze City Gate we enter the basement of the palace. The vaulted cellars are intact and very well preserved after more than 1700 years. Then we move on to the sacral part of the palace, the Perystil and the Cathedral, which was once Diocletian's mausoleum. The pagan temple of Jupiter became a baptistery in the 7th century. We will walk along the Cardo, the former main street of the palace and admire the Golden Gate. Then we will move on through the old town, to the Pjaca and the fruit market. Marvel at the rich offer at the fish market and, if you wish, treat yourself to a coffee or drink at the Procurative Square, where our tour ends. You will hear many interesting anecdotes and stories about the city and its inhabitants. Immerse yourself in the eventful history of Split. Discover the sights of this city at your leisure and get a lot of background information along the way.

    Perfect Tour in Split

    Absolutely wonderful experience with Ivan during our trip to Split. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and dedicated to ensuring we had a memorable experience. He was able to perfectly blend a history lesson with bits of comedy all the while ensuring all of our questions were answered. Would recommend him to absolutely anyone looking for guided tour of the area! Big thank you Ivan!

    Wonderful tour with Ivan

    We had a wonderful walking tour with Ivan. He knows his history well and shared it in a way that was easy to understand. Ivan answered all of my husband's questions (which were many!).

    We would give this tour top marks!

    Ivan gave my wife and I a fantastic tour of the important sights in the old city in Split. From the minute he introduced himself to us in the hotel lobby to the time he left us, after an excellent ice cream, it was an incredible experience. Ivan is very friendly, engaging, and extraordinarily knowledgeable about the history of the city, the region, and the country; no surprise since he is a Professor of History. We have had tours in many cities around Europe and the World, and we would give this one top marks. We would have no hesitation in recommending Ivan to anyone.

    Split Palace & Old Town -Private walking tour- Entrance included: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Split Palace & Old Town -Private walking tour- Entrance included cost?

    +

    Prices start at $169 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 Palace & Old Town -Private walking tour- Entrance included take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Palace & Old Town -Private walking tour- Entrance included worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 86 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 Palace & Old Town -Private walking tour- Entrance included?

    +

    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 Palace & Old Town -Private walking tour- Entrance included suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Split Palace & Old Town -Private walking tour- Entrance included?

    +

    Around 30 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Split Palace & Old Town -Private walking tour- Entrance included 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.
