5.00Fantastic trip and a brilliant way to experience Split. We felt like we gained a genuine understanding of the city, its history, culture, and the people who have shaped it over the years. Josco was an exceptional storyteller, bringing the city to life with fascinating insights and personal anecdotes that made every stop more meaningful. He didn't just show us Split; he helped us understand how the city evolved into what it is today. Engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate about his home city, Josco made the experience truly memorable. Well worth the time and one of the highlights of our visit.
Great tour with Josko!

5.00My family of 5 had a great private tour with Josko. He was very personable and diligently guided us around Diocletian’s Palace and Old Town. We learned so much about the palace and the city that we would’ve never known without the tour. There isn’t much signage in the palace so a tour is the way to go if you want to actually understand what you’re looking at. Josko kept the dialogue engaging throughout the tour and was very informative without getting boring. Josko was also great at showing us around while mostly avoiding the giant tour groups which was a major bonus.

5.00We took a two hour private tour of Diocletian’s Palace with Joko. I had booked this tour a number of weeks in advance of our trip, based upon the reviews submitted by others. Our expectations were exceeded. Jocko is a very knowledgable and personable guide and also has a great sense of humor! As he weaved his explanations of the history, he did so in a way that allowed us to connect dots with all the other places we had visited in both Rome and Venice just weeks prior. I came away extremely impressed with the “living history” of the palace now and the ability to see thousands of years of history all the way to the 21st century while standing in one spot in the midst of the palace. Incredible! If you are visiting Split this is a must see tour!
