Engaging Split of history and humor! - The tour with Josko was delightful! He was not only very informative but also engaging in his narration. He started with a high level historic overview and masterfully woven in details as we visited the different sections. His fun facts and humor not only helped keep our 11 year keen but aided his recall. Highly recommended!

This is the tour to do! - You have to do this tour with Josko to get the very best out of the history of Split and Diocletian’s Palace & Old Town. Josko is so engaging taking you on a journey through the city’s early history. The trip was paced beautifully - with a splash of humour too. Don’t hesitate!

THE PALACE BOSS - What a great way to soak up over a thousand years of Dalmatian history. We took the private tour with Josko. His English was excellent as he lived in the USA for some time. He was quite knowledge able, funny/entertaining, and extremely personable. I highly recommend his services to anybody and everybody who wants a phenomenal experience. As he lived in Mexico also for my Spanish friends all I can say is EL MEJORRRRRRR

Amazing day! - Josko is wonderful! What an amazing tour! We learned so much important and fascinating information about Split, and Croatia. Josko was an expert on Diocletian history and his rule but his delivery kept us guessing and greatly entertained for the entire tour. We were lucky to experience this tour and highly recommend it for anyone interested in understanding the palace and its significance. Well worth the time and price!
