It would be difficult to appreciate the history and evolution of the city without a guide so I can’t imagine visiting the Palace without guided walking tour. Our guide was an expert and entertaining at the same time, also she provided us insight into modern day life inside the city walls. I highly recommend!

This was so informative, comprehensive, entertaining and definitely one of our most memorable tours. Our guide had a great sense of humour which we loved. She showed us GOT filming locations and she had brilliant attention for the details. This is really the best way to experience Diocletian palace and its architectural details.
