Professor of history and experienced local guide that started a new tour inside a city.
Visiting Diocletians palace is great, but visiting Palace, Medieval and modern Split is even better!
Feel history of roman Palace and start a journey through center of Split, filled with influence of Venice, Ottomans and Napoleon. Of course, all that with Game of Thrones locations, interesting facts and a dash of local life and legends.
The tour starts from Riva promenade and goes through the cellars all the way to the main ancient square. There we have an amazing view on Cathedral and medieval palacies. On the way to Silver & Golden gates we gonna pass the narrowest street in the world. Making a wish by touching a toe of Gregori of Nin statue is a must to do in Split.
After the Palace we will walk a modern main street and square and finish at main medieval square.
During a walk you will get a bunch of tips what to do and where to spend time in Split.

Diocletian Palace Substructures
The basement halls of Diocletian's Palace (more accurately known as the substructures), are one of the world's best-preserved complexes from the era of classical antiquity. This vast space is one of the key reasons why the historical centre of Split was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1979.

5.00We had a brilliant experience with Mario. He has a fantastic knowledge and understanding of the area’s history, and shares this with the group in a fun and engaging way. We booked on the tour during our first morning in Split and it was a great way to set us up for the rest of the trip in terms of navigating and understanding the city.

5.00Mario was an amazing fountain of knowledge. He was loud enough (sometimes you can’t hear the person) and articulate with a lot of great historical knowledge with some other fun information mixed in. We have already recommended him to others. Highly recommend him on your first day in the city because he gives you other recommendations for the rest of your stay!!
Mario was very...
