We had a wonderful time with our guide Jakov. You could tell right away that he enjoys his job and is knowledgable in history. His sense of humour was just a great bonus. Learned so much in just 1.5 hours and got to see so many parts of both Split and the palace itself.

The whole excursion is ok, well organized, guided waited for us at the entrance - that helped a lot. Guide told a lot of history for all interesting places. Keep in mind that you will go up and down so take this into account if you are with trolley) as well things language is English and you are not native speaker that maybe not so interesting for your children

We were really lucky that the rest of the group actually didn't show up and we had Tanja only for ourselves! She's an amazing guide, really funny, friendly and kind person, the tour was packed with interesting historical information covering history of the ancient city, but also information about Croatia in general. Thank you Tanja, we enjoyed a lot!!
