My Split: A Diocletian's Palace Walking Tour & Local Stories

This was a excellent walking tour of Diocleatians Palace with Irena. Her tour was informative, personal and fun. There was 5 of us and I would recommend a smaller tour like this instead of walking around with 20 other people. We had time to ask questions, get to know each other and enjoyed informal chat. We know so much more about the history of the area and interesting things that we would never known had we wandered round on our own. Excellent value and very enjoyable. Just book it!

This was a charming and informative tour. The knowledge and history of Old Town and the Diocletian Palace was excellent but was charmed listings to Irena’s stories and personal tales that made this 5 star for me. I really enjoyed that. Also Irena followed up very promptly with recommendations for Wines and restaurants.

This was a great tour! We booked the 9am which allowed us to see the sights with little crowds. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and we had a great time and learned a lot!

Our walking tour with Irena was over and beyond our expectations. She is professional, knowledgeable, fun, passionate, caring, truly authentic. The tour was not cookie cutter -- she tailored topics to our interests and was expert in answering our questions. The small group size made it personable and we left feeling like privileged guests.

I had an amazing experience with Irena. She is truly passionate about what she does, and her explanations are always clear, engaging, and easy to understand. The day before my tour, a group of seven people cancelled. Irena personally contacted me to offer two options: I could either join another group on a different day or receive a full refund if I wasn't comfortable taking the tour on my own. This thoughtful gesture perfectly reflects her professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for her guests. I 100% recommend this guided tour—not only because of the wealth of knowledge you'll gain, but also because of the warm, personal experience you'll have. If you're looking for a guide who is both highly knowledgeable and truly cares about her visitors, Irena is the perfect choice.

Irena actually covered a walking tour my partner and I booked and I am SO glad she did! Irena is from Split and has a very clear love and passion for her city and it’s rich history. The tour was full of detailed historical accounts, as well lots of humour and kindness. Irena generously provides honest recommendations on “dos and don’ts” in split which was welcomed. 10/10 recommend Irena as a tour guide!

We were there last year and she was amazing with great knowledge of the place with interesting facts as well. Love from Nepal

An unforgettable tour experience! Our guide was professional, funny, and extremely passionate about what she does. She shared so many interesting stories and hidden details that we would have never discovered on our own. Her energy and enthusiasm made the entire experience even more special. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!

It was the best tour ever she was kind, and allways with the smile.

Our tour guide was absolutely amazing — friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. She made the whole experience enjoyable, interesting, and well organized. Her positive energy and passion for the job really stood out, and she made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout the tour. We learned a lot and truly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended!

One of the best walking tours we had during our trip. Irena is very charismatic, friendly and full of knowledge, but the tour never felt boring or too serious. She tells history in a very interesting and fun way. We loved hearing local stories and learning more about Split and Diocletian’s Palace. Thank you for a beautiful experience and we definitely recommend this tour!

I’m not usually someone who writes reviews, but after this tour, it genuinely felt deserved. We joined Irena’s tour spontaneously while visiting Split with friends from Germany, and it ended up being one of the best decisions of the trip. Even though Split is my hometown, I still found myself learning new things and hearing stories I’d never known before. What made the experience special was how naturally everything flowed. Our whole group was completely engaged the entire time, and everyone kept talking about it afterwards. Irena was incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and generous with her time, even after the tour officially ended. She answered every question and gave us amazing recommendations for the rest of our stay. You can really feel the passion behind what she does, and it made us all appreciate the city even more. Wholeheartedly recommend joining her tour if you have the chance =)

We had an absolutely amazing experience on this tour! Everything was perfectly organized, the atmosphere was fantastic, and every moment felt enjoyable and stress-free. The places we visited were beautiful, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to Irena, who made this tour truly unforgettable. She was incredibly kind, professional, knowledgeable, and always made sure everyone felt comfortable and welcomed. Her positive energy and passion really stood out and made the entire experience even more special. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable experience. Thank you again, Irena!

We booked this last minute and it was one of the best experiences! So many interesting stories mixed with real history. Irena was so professional and relaxed we really enjoyed!

I visited my hometown with a few friends from Germany and decided to teach them a little about Split. By pure coincidence, we met Irena while she was leading a tour for another group, and we decided to join them. Our instincts were right; she absolutely did not disappoint. We had an amazing time, and even I learned new things I hadn’t known before. The tour was delivered in a fun and engaging way, beautifully connecting history with modern-day life. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and all our questions were answered, even after the tour had officially ended. Irena was incredibly helpful, taking extra time to give us recommendations on what to do later in the city. I can wholeheartedly recommend this tour any day.

We took this tour last weekend, and it was so much fun! Irena was wonderful, she shared so many interesting stories and made us feel like locals! It was a lovely experience!

We had an amazing time on the tour. It was the perfect blend of history and modern local life. Our guide, Irena, was incredible—so knowledgeable, friendly, and a wonderful storyteller. She showed us hidden gems we never would have found on our own. If you’re in Split, definitely book this tour and ask for Irena!

Excellent tour and a great way to explore Split. The guide was friendly, informative, and shared many interesting stories about the city and its history. Highly recommended!

It was an amaizing tour! Irena gave us a whole different perspective on Split! 10/10 definitely recommend for a fun, and interesting time!

We had a very interesting and informative tour with lovely stories and fun facts about Split’s history. I highly recommend it.

We had an amazing tour of Split with our guide Irena. She was full of interesting stories and little details that made the city come alive. Thanks to her, I saw Split with completely different eyes and appreciated its history and charm so much more. Highly recommended!

Great tour, does what it says on the tin. Great fun! This review has to be 100 letters long- it’s a great tour- Book it!!!!!!!!!

We visited Split with the guide Irena and it was truly a pleasant experience. Irena is very knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about the history of the city. She engaged us with interesting explanations and curiosities that made the tour never boring. Moreover, she was always available, kind, and attentive to our questions. Thanks to her, we discovered corners and details of Split that we would have never noticed on our own. We highly recommend Irena to anyone who wants to know the city in an authentic and enjoyable way. Great guide, super positive experience!

We were a group of 3 people who are passionate about history. The tour of Irena was perfect for us because it brought us closer to the story and responded to our questions throughout the tour. The length of the tour was also very suitable for us and we were told about all the important sights that we would not have otherwise experienced. In the end, we no longer felt like pure tourists, but got a deeper insight into local life past and present. In addition, she gave us fantastic tips on where to eat in the evening to enjoy the authentic cuisine of Split. The tour was in English and we would recommend it anytime.
