Split Free Tour: History, Stories & Secrets
Join a local expert and discover the heart of Split! Explore Diocletian’s Palace, hidden corners, legends, and daily life through local eyes. Uncover the secrets of this ancient city with us!
Things to do Split Free Tour: History, Stories & Secrets
Join me, a licensed local guide, on a fun and engaging small-group walking tour through Split’s historic core, limited to a maximum of 6 guests for a more personal and interactive experience. Together we’ll explore Diocletian’s Palace, a 1700-year-old UNESCO site, and its most famous landmarks. We’ll start at the Golden Gate, the grand entrance to the palace, where I’ll tell you about Emperor Diocletian. Then we’ll visit the Peristyle, the central Roman square surrounded by ancient columns and sphinxes. We’ll explore the Vestibule, a domed hall that once welcomed imperial guests. We’ll pass by the Temple of Jupiter (viewed from outside), an ancient Roman temple turned baptistery. Then visit lively local spots like Fruit Square and People’s Square, where history blends with everyday life. I’ll show you parts of Diocletian’s Cellars that are free to access. We will conclude our tour at the Republic Square. Inspired by Venetian architecture, it’s a beautiful spot to end our journey through Split’s history. This isn’t a dry history lecture; it’s a friendly gathering full of stories, fun, and local traditions, giving you an authentic taste of Split’s past and present.

“One of a kind”
Luka had a unique way to share great stories that make him different from any other tour guide. He was not rushing us, was relaxed, took the time to respond to questions, presented us with great insights (Sigmund Freud, Agatha Christie, sphinx, St Anthony of Egypt, etc.) and kept us wondering what was next at each corner. A very interesting tour indeed. We believe we know Split now from the inside out thanks to him.

Our guide, Luka was engaging and informative. It was great to have a small group tour of the old town of Split and hear some of its history. Luka gave us a good introduction to Split so that we could go back later and visit some of the buildings by ourselves.

“Very Good”
The tour was brilliant and Luka is a lovey man.
The only downside was the party of 3 that never turned up or informed Luka they were late - So Rude. Is it so hard to make a phone call or send a message. Luka was very concerned about them.
Anyway if you are in any doubt I throughly recommend this tour.

Luka well explained present day Split and its past, esp. the Roman part, the origin of the palave and the person Diocletes was. He took us all around, and I personally found the cellars very interesting: how they show the layout of the palace above, how it collected the pooh through holes in the ceiling, and how it helped preserve many artifacts.

“Luka keeps tours small for the personal touch”
Luka keeps his tours small, which makes the experience feel personal and relaxed. He is incredibly knowledgeable about his birthplace, and his passion really comes through. His accent is minimal and easy to understand, which made everything even more enjoyable.
We especially loved his stories and anecdotes—they truly brought the city to life in a way that goes beyond a typical tour. Thanks to Luka, we’ve completely fallen in love with Split and are already talking about planning a return visit!
