Overview

Step into 1,700 years of history on a laid-back journey through the heart of Split!

Perfect for first-time visitors, this goes beyond a typical history lesson. We explore the ancient corridors of Diocletian's Palace and the vibrant Old Town, bringing the city's past and present to life.

What We Will Discover:
Golden Gate: Walk the path of Roman emperors.
Peristyle & Vestibule: Marvel at ancient architecture & grab a group selfie!
Jupiter’s Temple & St. Domnius: Uncover secrets of iconic sights.
Riva Promenade: Soak in the local Mediterranean lifestyle.

Why Choose This Tour?

Unique Perspective: As a local originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina, who lived in Serbia as well, I connect Split's history to the wider Balkans, giving you insights missed on standard tours.

Relaxed Vibe: Small groups ensure meaningful, friendly conversations.

Exclusive Perks: I provide personalized recommendations and exclusive discounts to the best authentic restaurants in Split.

Ideal for history lovers—solo, friends, or family—seeking an easy-to-follow introduction to Split.

On arrival

The meeting point is below the big statue of Bishop Gregory of Nin, where the Golden Gate of Diocletian's Palace is (The gate is not really "golden"). Look for a BLACK umbrella with the KUKUVIA logo. If you cannot find me, please send me a message and I will call you.
