Walking through Diocletian's Palace in Split was an unforgettable experience, made even better by our excellent guide. His deep knowledge of history and storytelling brought the ancient walls and streets to life. He was friendly, passionate, and willing to answer all our questions, making the tour both educational and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Excellent time with Temper Travel

We highly recommend Temper Travel. It is owned by two brothers who are both wonderful. Bosko was our main guide and the depth of his knowledge was unmatched. He told us everything we wanted to know and more. He is very good with teenagers. Our kids related to him. and he knew how to interest them in the tour. Book with them if you are going to Split.
A great guide tells you the story- not just random fun facts
Elaine_R, Sept 2024
Wow! When you hire a licensed guide from a reputable company you truly get what you pay for! Our guide Pavle was PERFECT! He started our tour by providing just the right amount of history about the site to get us started. As we toured he connected back to his initial history chat and skillfully pulled the story all together. He was interesting, engaging and did not overwhelm us. Its great when a guide can tell the “story” of a site and weave in interesting details along the way to enhance the experience. We requested to visit the market and Pavle was able to connect the significance, location and history there too. He was a professional!
Educational and Entertaining Adventure
Kenneth_G, Jun 2023
This private walking tour was an excellent experience that both educated and entertained us for three hours. We were impressed with the knowledge that our guide was able to share and the colorful stories he used to teach us while showing the many beautiful sites. We strongly recommend that you book this adventure as you will see the old city of Split in a way that will entertain you.

15 minutesThe Peristyle of Diocletian's Palace
Peristyle is the geographical and spiritual center of the Palace. This square is one of the closest links of a modern man with the ancient heritage and it leaves a monumental impression to this day. Surrounded by some of the highlights of the city, Peristyle is closely guarded by a 3500 year old sphinx. Leading up to Peristyle from Riva you will pass through one of best preserved ancient complexes of Substructures in the world, that host numerous local artists who exhibit and sell their works to curious passengers.
