A great tour - What an interesting trip around the old Roman palace in Split. Our guide was excellent, gave lots of history of the old place, how it came to be, how the Romans operated and even how the current city of Split and Croatia came to be. As we moved around the palace from the ancient to the medieval, it was all interesting and we had a good tour. It was hot so you definitely need to take water, sunglasses etc… lovely photos taken too.

Highly recommend - Highly recommend! Guide was informative and engaging. The walking pace was steady enough to keep up only criticism is that we kept walking in circles which is understandable given how small and packed the place is.
