“Take this tour! Josko was the perfect tour guide. It was only me and my partner and he did not cancel the tour - a true, reliable professional! Josko is very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Diocletian’s Palace and Split. After the tour, he walked us to a restaurant and spoke to the waiter for us since my partner has a very specific diet; we ended up having a great meal and returning to that restaurant the next day. 10/10 recommend! Only thing to know is this is a REAL history tour, so he will not explain game of thrones scenes, but you will see game of thrones…”
