Split-private Walking Tour Of Old Town & Diocletian's Palace

We had a wonderful, fun, and highly informative tour with our guide Josko! The depth of his knowledge about Split and the Diocletian Palace was incredible and informative to both the history bus among us and the more casual observers of history alike. He also found us the perfect spot for lunch after our tour! Would absolutely recommend him without hesitation.

Josko was an amazing guide. So knowledgeable and so many stories. Took his time explaining everything to us. I feel we may have underpaid for this tour!!! I would highly, highly recommend him. Thanks Josko!

We had such a great experience on this private tour with our terrific guide Josko. He made the tour so incredibly fun and engaging, and knew seemingly everything fathomable there is to know about Split, Diocletian’s Palace, and Croatian history. This tour made us enjoy our ENTIRE Croatia trip so much more, as Josko made the entire experience so rich and added so many more levels of depth to our understanding of this beautiful place than we ever would have had through just a guide book or YouTube videos. Don’t miss this tour! Josko was wonderful!!! You won’t regret it!!!

Our guide Josko was fantastic. Engaging and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend.

This was a fantastic walking tour. The many sights were organized in a way that told a coherent and fascinating story. Josko was very knowledgeable and likable. His local knowledge and sense of humor made the tour very enjoyable. Five stars and highly recommended!

Really enjoyed our walking tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I really appreciated his consideration in allowing me, as a senior citizen, opportunities to rest as needed.

Josco was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and polite. Our family of 7 thoroughly enjoyed his telling of history of Split. Highly recommend!

Josko enriched our visit to Croatia so very much in the hours we spent with him. Josko made the history of Split, Croatia come alive! He is knowledgeable, personable, funny and also genuinely generous with his local tips and insights. We enjoyed our time together and our tour made the rest of our time in Split so much more meaningful and memorable. I highly recommend a tour with Josko.

Fantastic tour with Josko! He was very engaged and knowledgeable, making for a very enjoyable experience. We learned a great deal about Split and Diocletian’s palace in 2 hours. Would highly recommend.

Very informative. The guide was friendly and easy to understand. He was open to questions and responded intelligently. Highly recommend

Josko was absolutely fantastic. We booked this tour for the morning of our first day in Split and could not be happier with the experience. Josko knows everything about the history of Diocletian's Palace and presents it in an engaging and informative way. Josko covered the entire palace complex in two hours, from the main attractions to things we never would have noticed, and set us up for a great rest of the day in the Old Town. While we enjoyed group walking tours in other Croatian old towns like Dubrovnik, this private tour was essential to get the most out of Split. Diocletian's Palace is a maze with some crowds (even on a September morning), and a larger group would not have covered nearly as much as Josko. Overall, Josko was an expert tour guide--knowledgeable while also personable and funny. Book his tour for your first morning in the city.

Great tour and guide. Learned a ton. Save going inside the church, bell tower climb and all that until after the tour.

We had a fun time with Josko. He was informative and entertaining at the same time. He explained the history of Split and the history of the Palace very well. Highly recommended. I felt we got more out of the tour being a private with just our family.

Josko was absolutely AMAZING!!! His historical knowledge was impressive!! He was kind, had a great sense of humor and was so patient. He made sure we all could hear him and that we were comfortable with the pace. He showed us so many interesting things and places!! The BEST tour guide stated from a well-traveled lady!

Josko was was very knowledgeable and fun to be around. He was an outstanding guide and always welcomed questions. A wonderful tour to help us understand what we were looking at.

Very informative tour. It was a great way to explore Split on our first day of travel. We saw many hidden parts of the palace that I would have never known even existed

Excellent experience. Learned thousands years of fascinating and sometimes tragic city history through the eyes and personal experience of our guide: Joško Zović.

We had the most wonderful walking tour with Joško. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and generous with his time. We learnt so much about the history of Croatia and Split, both ancient and more recent, and Joško brought it all vividly to life. We couldn’t recommend this tour with him more highly.

We had a great tour with our guide Josko. The history of the Diocletian Palace is fascinating, and we learned so much more by having a knowledgeable guide.

Guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Perfect English. He covered an amazing range of history and culture and added humor. The experience was VERY WELL worth it. Highly recommended over group tours. There’s just too much to get in a group tour.

We greatly Enjoyed our private walking tour with Josko in split old town and the Dioclesian palace and basement. We learned so much more about historical facts than We would have by ourselves. He knew so much about the palace and the history of Croatia. He also guided us seamlessly through this large and maze like area. We highly recommend Jasko’s private tour !

We had a fun, educational experience with Joško, our guide. He had a good knowledge of his city and helped us understand its history in a dynamic and upbeat manner. We had a great time, got plenty of great pictures and we ended our tour in a local restaurant which Joško recommended. Thank you for a great experience!

Our group tour with Josco was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and engaging, and brought us to all of the key points of I tweet and also highlighted many small details along the way. We would highly recommend!

Josip was so knowledgeable and he made the tour very interactive and fun. We laughed we learned trivia and even tiny facts like the shop that made biggest chocolate bar in the world. He was amazing and I would recommend him to anyone!

Such a great tour of Diocletian’s Palace. Our guide was so knowledgeable about Croatian history and was very attentive. Highly recommend!

Booking a private walking tour of Split, Croatia was one of the best decisions we made during our vacation. If you're traveling with a bunch of friends and want to see the sights without feeling rushed or lost in a massive tourist crowd, a private tour with Josko is 100% the way to go. We wanted an experience where we could ask questions without the crowds, and this tour exceeded all our expectations. Josko was incredibly knowledgeable, bringing over 1,700 years of history to life. Instead of droning on with dry history book facts, he kept things engaging, funny, very personal and conversational. An absolute blast. It felt less like a rigid tour and more like exploring a cool European city with a knowledgeable local friend. Highly recommend it for any group of friends looking for a fun, easygoing few hours in Split! Josko is the best!

Excellent tour and guide. He had the perfect amount of history and funny stories to go along with our walk.

Our tour guide was excellent. He was knowledgeable and truly interested in sharing the history of his hometown, Split. Viator is great with communication, the booking, the upcoming experience, the meeting point, our tour guide contacted us with his name and contact info. No details left unturned.

Definitely a 5 Star Rating!!! Our tour guide Josko was amazing not only very knowledgeable but also very personable. I would highly recommend this tour and especially the guide. My husband & I have traveled all over the world and I honestly think he is one of the best guides we have ever had.

What a terrific tour! Exceeded our expectations. Josko was so informative plus fun! Great combination. We learned so much about Split and had a great time doing it!

Josko was a wonderful guide through the Diocletian Palace and the Old Town of Split. He shared with us the fascinating history of Split with exceptional knowledge and humor. We would definitely recommend him if you are considering a tour operator in Split.

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.

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!

Joe was an amazing guide and our experience was way better because of him and his knowledge. Joe was very interactive and funny and we left wanting more. Great job Joe!!

Amazing Tour of the palace and surrounding areas with my family of 6 would highly recommend this tour.

What to say about Jošco? Fantastic by engaging everyone in the history of Split, even having a such young audience, he managed to make interesting for them. Excellent.

Our tour guide, Joško, was truly fantastic. His passion and love for his hometown and its history was apparent every moment on the tour. We were so impressed by his deep knowledge of the entire history of Split. He truly excelled at balancing the tour with fun moments and informative history. I can confidently say it was one the best tours we have been on. I would recommend Joško’s tour to everyone visiting Split.

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!!!

Our family of five took this tour with Joko as our tour guide. He was excellent and really gave us a true history lesson of the Diocletain Palace, explaining details we would have never discovered on our own. We enjoyed the history lesson, seeing the beauty of the palace and the surrounding area.

The entire tour was an excellent experience. Joe was very knowledgeable of the Palace and the Old Town. He relayed the information in an organized manner and added many details in a humorous way. He painted a picture of life in the Palace that made it come alive during our tour. My family all agreed that the experience with Joe was one of the highlights of our vacation.

An amazing tour, informative and funny with excellent pace. 'Joe' was the consummate professional and he really made our stay in Split exceptional. I can't stress enough how positive his tour was on our impression of Split and how much I'd recommend the city to my friends and family.

Great tour. Josko is a great guide with good knowledge. He made us us see so much more. I can recommend him for your optimal experience.

Joško Was phenomenal and funny for our private family tour, I would highly recommend that you book with him as his tour is second to none

Great tour, good fun personality with lots of substance of history

Joko was a great guide who provided both the history of the palace, background and insights into Diocletians rule, and pointed out interesting facts about the architecture and timeline. Would definitely recommend this tour and Joko to anyone wanting a 2 hr tour of the palace and a brief overview of old town.

Joško was very informative and fun as well. We learned a lot about Split in a very fun way. His way of passing on the history of his hometown is very interesting and witty. He was considerate of our needs and went beyond our expectations.
