Split City Tour - Basic Tour
(Diocletian's Palace & Old Town)
Private 2-hour tour (90 EUR)
This tour takes you on a 2-hour walk through Split’s UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site. We will visit Diocletian's Palace with its Basements or the Substructures (with entrance fees), and admire the main square Peristil, the Palace fortifications with Golden, Silver, Iron and Bronze gates, the Mausoleum / St. Domnius's Cathedral (external visit), Jupiter's Temple / Baptistery (external visit), medieval houses of noble families, and a small former Jewish ghetto with a synagogue...
The second part of the tour takes us to the medieval Old Town outside the Palace, where we will explore the fishermen's market and some famous squares: Pjaca (People's Square), Fruit Square and Prokurative (Republic Square). We will walk down Marmontova Street and learn about the socio-political lifestyle under Venetian, French, Austrian-Hungarian and Yugoslavian rule. By the end of this tour, you'll have a better understanding of the rich history, local lifestyle and little peculiarities that make Split so special. You'll also get recommendations on what to do and see after the tour by yourself.
We will end the tour on Riva promenade by the sea.
Lydia
We loved our tour of Split with Sanja!!! She was so nice, highly knowledgeable, easy to understand, and attentive. She happily answered all of our questions and is an expert. It was our favorite tour we had out of our entire two week trip! Cannot recommend this tour enough if you're visiting Split!

Getting to know a new city is the best with a local. If you are lucky enough to enjoy the company of Sanja as your guide, she will provide both the highlights of the history of Split but also the details you are interested in. She knows Split as a lifelong citizen and was great at guiding us through the town and making recommendations for dinner and other tours. Thanks Sanja!!
