Private Walks & Storytelling - the best small group tour in Split
If you’re tired of tours full of numbers, names you can’t pronounce, and facts you forget by the next morning—this one’s for you.
This walk is about stories. The kind you remember.
I’ll tell you about the man who built this city—Diocletian. Not as a statue, but as a person. One of the most powerful emperors in Roman history, and one of the most complicated.
You’ll hear about the people who lived inside these walls long after the empire fell—fishermen, traders, widows, workers, families. People like mine. People like yours.
This isn’t a history class. It’s a walk through time with someone who lives here. No scripts. No umbrellas in the air. Just a conversation about a place I know well.
It’s a slower, more personal way to learn about Split—with space for questions, stories you’ll actually remember, and honest local tips on what to see, eat, and skip while you’re here

What's included in Private Walks & Storytelling - the best small group tour in Split
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Riva Harbor
We'll start our tour on the Riva waterfront. Riva is where we spend our winter, drinking coffee & enjoying the sun. Every generation in Split has a favourite corner on the Riva promenade, and every corner hides a story. Join me for a tour of the Split old town. Let's have a great time exploring the centuries-old tradition of tasteful food. I will share the forgotten stories and show you the unusual but functional architecture in the old town and the Palace area.
Temple of Jupiter
Leaving the waterfront, we will enter the Substructures of the Palace and walk towards the Temple of Jupiter. The location was chosen to signify the divine connection between the emperor Diocletian and Jupiter. The Ancient Roman God of the sky and thunder & king of the Gods. During the Middle Ages, the Temple was converted into a baptistery dedicated to St. John the Baptist
Let Me Pass (Pusti me da prodjem) Street
On our way to see the temple of Jupiter, we will walk through a small street, placed between the ancient temple and medieval building - now a hotel. Local people believe this is the narrowest street in town. The local name is "The let me pass street".
