History tour of Split with a local history teacher guide

Hello! I am Ivan, a licensed tour guide and a history teacher, with a master's degree in history and art history. Also, and no less importantly, a local who was born in and lives in Split. A 1,700 year old city that emerged from a Roman imperial palace

My tour reveals parts of the historic city that you might otherwise miss if exploring in a tour vehicle. Today, I will be your personal guide through time. Split is not a museum under glass; it is a living city where people still reside today.

Step into the past and discover how the opulent palace of a Roman emperor transformed into one of the most vibrant hubs in the Mediterranean!

Explore a city where history doesn’t sleep in museums—it lives on the streets! In 90 minutes, we will traverse 1,700 years of history—from Roman emperors and Egyptian sphinxes, through medieval structures, all the way to the modern Mediterranean charm that makes Split truly one-of-a-kind.

Split is much more than just a palace; it is a living organism where Roman architecture weaves seamlessly into everyday life.
