Perfect way to get to know Split!
Josipa is the best! Our private tour was completely tailored to our interests for a family with 2 college-age kids. And Josipa was able to accommodate a last-minute change because of a flight delay. This was the best introduction to Old Town and the surrounding neighborhoods. Josipa's restaurant recommendations were spot-on too. Do this first when you visit Split!

Go on Josipa's tour if you really want to learn about Diocletian's palace
This was not my first history tour around Diocletian’s palace, but it was definitely the best one. Josipa is a fantastic communicator and a great teacher. Her story telling is first class, but her aim was not to just dazzle and entertain for two hours. By telling stories about how the palace was used in the past, she made sure we understood the structure of it and could navigate it independently after she left us. Josipa helped us imagine the parts of the palace which were long gone and showed us parts of it which were hidden under the more modern structures. She clearly loves history, loves Split and likes being with people. She responded to our questions with knowledge and interest. We learnt not only about the remarkable Diocletian's palace, but also other parts of Split and other historical eras. We had the most stimulating 2 hours. I would do it all over again. I cannot recommend Josipa enough!

Super informative and interesting!!
Josipa was an excellent tour guide. We wanted to learn about Split and we learned a lot of archeological as well as historic facts about the historic center. We walked throughout the palace walls and she pointed out details we never would have noticed. She also showed us some spots where locals eat and drink and told us a bit about daily life for the people who live within the walls today. This was the best tour we took in Croatia and we were super happy that we booked it.

Best of Best
Josipa Is one of the best tour guys we've ever had. we've taken many tours in many different cities and she is by far one of the best we've ever had. she was extremely accommodating to our group which included four children under the age of 12 and was conscious of the temperature and made sure to be informative yet efficient. she's extremely knowledgeable about the area and we would highly highly recommend her to anybody wanting a wonderful tour. her background is rich in heart and history and her presentation style makes it easy to understand and exciting to learn about all the different cultural and historical background of the area. Our stay in split would not have been the same without her.

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Walking tour of Split with an Art Historian: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does Walking tour of Split with an Art Historian cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Walking tour of Split with an Art Historian take?
+
Plan for about 1.7 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 Walking tour of Split with an Art Historian worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 130 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 Walking tour of Split with an Art 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 Walking tour of Split with an Art Historian suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Walking tour of Split with an Art Historian?
+
Around 46 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 1.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Walking tour of Split with an Art 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 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.
