History of Palace and old town Split - We were lucky, we got a private tour, and our tour guide, Jo was a wealth of knowledge with a good sense of humor! We learned a lot, and got to see some beautiful and interesting sites in Split. Would definitely recommend, however, the photo is a bit misleading, this tour is a very good history tour, but there are no actors or costumes!😊

Great history of Split and Diocletian - Joe was a remarkable tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the Palace and the history of Split. He provided great insights on how the city developed during each century. He was also quite entertaining. His humor made the 2 hours seem like only 30 minutes. I love to learn the history of each country I visit and he was fantastic. I even asked for recommendation for some local bakery and he did not disappoint! Highly recommend him.

Highlight of our stay - A fantastic, memorable tour with so many details you would never get from a tour book. A guided tour with Josko of the Diocletian’s Palace should not be missed.

History of Split and the Palace - We met Josko while walking through the palace, and he provided a flyer asking if we were interested in a tour. This is our 6th time to Split, and we decided to do it as we did not know much of the history of Split. Organising a tour was very easy, we messaged him for the details and met the following day at the palace. We were then introduced to Daniela, who was fantastic with a fountain of information and knowledge, which made it very enjoyable. It was also really nice to be part of a small group of 8. This made it more personal, unlike the big groups with earphones. It is €20 for the tour and an additionally €8 for the cellars, which I would highly recommend. If you are looking to like learn about the history of Spilt and the palace, look no further than this tour.

Fantastic Guide in Joseph - Our guide, Joseph, was fantastic!! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about Split but World History overall. I don’t think you could find a better guide. He also had great lunch recommendations, but you’re going to have to book with him to get those :-)

The best tour guide in Split for history lovers! - We were planning to do a walking tour on our last day in Split to learn about the history of Diocletian‘s Palace. Luckily, we ran into Josko when entering the palace through the Brass Gate. I hardly ever participated in such an entertaining and informative city walk. Josip is passionate, funny and knowledgeable - he really brings history alive. Highly recommended!
