Great geographic and historic overview - It's a short and sweet overview of the palace history. Slavko is super knowledgeable and clearly enthusiastic about the history of Split. I only wish we could have dove even more into the details and stories. I think he does private tours which I'd recommend if you are a real history buff.

Amazingly Interesting and Informative Tour - Our tour of the Diocletian Palace in Split with Slavko at Split Walking Tour was absolutely fantastic! He was incredibly personable and brought the history of the palace to life with his fascinating stories and deep knowledge. Slavko’s enthusiasm and engaging manner made the experience unforgettable, and he truly elevated our entire trip. We can’t recommend him enough—if you’re visiting Split, a tour with Slavko is a must!

A Must Do! - I am a former tour guide, and let me tell you, Slavko gave an amazing walking tour of Diocletian's Palace (basically Split). He not only knows the history of the city and Croatia inside and out, but has a great sense of humor, keeping you engaged and enthralled. He is obviously proud of his country (even when joking about their weaknesses) and loves to share its history. And, he speaks better American English than I do! Hvala, Slavko!!

Excellent tour and guide! - Jakov, our tour guide, was a former history teacher so he was especially knowledgeable about the Diocletian Palace. He made the history of the Diocletian very interesting as he pointed out the areas we were seeing. Jakov’s English was excellent. He is personable and shared his love of all sports once he knew he was guiding a group of Wisconsin “cheesehead” Packer fans. Our group had a very special visit. Thank you, Jakov!
