Fantastic Walking Tour with Josco - On the fifth day of our cruise, we arrived in Split, Croatia. We were greeted by Josco at the Diocletian Palace, the summer home of Roman Emperor Diocletian. For the next two hours, Josco had us travel back in time to the third century. He made the story come alive by sharing a comprehensive review of the construction of the summer home, and the life lived by the ancients. He then brought us to the twenty-first century, highlighting what life looks like today for current residents. What we appreciated most was his sharing unique understandings and interesting details that are not normally apparent to visiting tourists.

Outstanding private walking tour of Split - My husband and I booked a private tour with Joško and it was absolutely a highlight of our time in Split. Not only is he a master storyteller, his depth of knowledge and infectious passion for his beautiful home town truly bought nearly two millennia of eventful history to life for us. I plan to urge anyone I meet who is planning a trip to Split to tour with him, and will definitely look him up for other tours on future trips to the area. Book with Joško; you’ll be very happy you did!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND JOŠKO!!! - Joško was phenomenal! 100% the best tour we could have done! We weren’t sure if we wanted to do a tour but saw him and instantly wanted to book with him. My family consisted of my dad on a scooter (broken foot), my sister in a wheelchair and my son in a stroller and Joško made sure to accommodate everything for us and still give us a very informative and amazing tour! Joško had all of the facts, with visuals, and was able to answer all of our questions. I would highly recommend him to everyone I meet visiting Split. DEFINITELY BOOK WITH Joško!!!
