This was a fantastic tour of Split! Jelena was an amazing guide and showed us the incredible history of Split, from the ancient Roman palace of Diocletian, to the Venetian influence in architecture, and finally the more modern Austro-Hungarian influences. A lot of great local places were shown, and we have plans to visit them all! Many big thanks to Jelena for the amazing tour! - Bridget & Nick
