Itinerary
This is what our experience could look like, but it’s not set in stone! Once you book, you can chat directly with your host to make small tweaks to suit your preferences.
Stroll along the waterfront
Let us start by taking a stroll along one of the most beautiful waterfronts in Europe! Hear why we changed so many rulers, find out what they were fighting for, what it was that they all wanted... The GOT location scouts knew why they chose Split to represent the city of Meereen. Find out how this city grew out of the 4th century Roman emperor's retirement palace.
Visit Palace substructures (the dungeon!)
We enter the Palace through the South Gate and explore its substructures first. This is where Daenerys kept her dragons, but these days we prefer to have wine tastings here, weddings, exhibitions, musical performances, and so much more! Hear the unbelievable story, how the cellars got so marvelously preserved...
Peristyle Square
The stairs take us from the substructures onto the central square - a world famous Peristyle! Egyptian sphinxes, colonnades with marble pillars from Greece, medieval palaces, emperor's mausoleum, humongous bell-tower - all squeezed around this ancient square, fighting for your attention!
The GoT store
On our way to the North Gate, we'll walk the alleys of Meereen, where the Unsullied fought the slave-owners and the Sons of Harpy. How about stopping by the GOT store to take a selfie on the Iron Throne?
Marmont Street
Upon exiting the Palace, we take Marmont Street, the most spacious pedestrian street in town, to lead us back to the waterfront, where our tour ends.

My wife and I did the Highlights and Hidden Gems of Split with Linda. What an excellent experience it was! Linda is knowledgeable, articulate and passionate about her home town. We thought that we'd done quite a good job of discovering Split on our own, but wow, she showed us so much that we hadn't seen previously. Her restaurant recommendations we also much appreciated - esp. Tri Volta.
Highly recommended!An excellent experience

Linda was very kind and accommodating throughout our tour experience in Split! Our family included children and senior citizens, and we all felt that the pace was just right for our group. Linda not only showed us around the “must-sees” in Split, but also gave us excellent recommendations on where to eat, and what other towns to visit. We enjoyed our time with her!Fun experience at a relaxing pace!

Linda was an excellent guide for myself and 3 friends to help us discover Split through her local knowledge. As well as giving us lots of information about the history of the Diocletian palace, Linda gave us useful up-to-date info on restaurants, local places of interest, boat trips and even the best gelateria in town. (We subsequently tried several and agreed with her assessment!) We stopped for a drink (included in the price) and had a really interesting chat about life in Split. Linda was so friendly and helpful, and speaks such excellent English, you will be lucky to have her as a guide. Her tour was one of the highlights of our stay here.A memorable guided tour of Split
