Time Walk private VR tour of Diocletian's Palace, Split

The same walk, only yours


Eighty minutes on foot, from the Golden Gate through the narrow streets of the Old Town, past the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, down into the underground chambers and out onto the Riva. Twice along the way the headset goes on and the ruins fill back in: the Golden Gate in 305 AD with Roman soldiers at the doors, and the Peristyle in full ceremonial glory as Diocletian addresses the crowd.

Nothing is cut from the private version. What changes is everything around it.

An amazing way to experience Diocletian's Palace. The VR scenes at the Golden Gate and Peristyle bring the Roman palace back to life right where you're standing. Our guide Hrvoje was fantastic!

Walking with Ana connected me more with Split's history than anything else I've done here. The VR spots were really well organized and such a nice combination with a live guide!

Questions


Private tours in English are priced for the whole group, starting at €130 for a couple and scaling up to €280 for the group of 10. Tours in Italian, Spanish, and French are guided by specialist language guides and priced a little higher. No booking fees when arranged directly with us.

The private tour includes the same route, VR scenes, and licensed guide as the group tour. What changes is that you have the guide entirely to yourself, choose the start time, and can request Italian, Spanish or French. Best fit for families with kids or older parents, cruise visitors with strict schedules, and travellers wanting a personalised pace.

The 80-minute guided walking tour, licensed Croatian tourist guide, Meta Quest 3 VR headsets and all equipment, and the two VR reconstruction scenes at the Golden Gate and Peristyle. Entrance tickets to interior paid attractions (Cathedral interior, bell tower, paid cellar exhibition) are optional and can be bought separately at the attraction.

Message us on WhatsApp or send an email with your date, preferred time, group size and language. We usually reply as soon as possible with the exact price and a meeting time.

Yes. A licensed local guide leads the entire tour in the language you pick, from the first stop to the last. It is not an audio guide and not subtitles. Tours in Italian, Spanish, and French depend on a specific guide's availability, so we always confirm the time first.

Yes, and we do it often. Send us your arrival and departure times. The walk runs about 80 minutes and finishes on the Riva, a short distance from the port.

The headsets are rated for age 13 and up by the manufacturer. Younger children are welcome on the walk with their family, they simply skip the two VR scenes.

Not a problem. The VR is two short moments inside an 80-minute guided walk. Anyone who sits them out stays with the guide and misses nothing else.

The VR headsets can't be used in the rain, so if the weather doesn't hold we move your tour to another time or day, run it as a classic guided walk without the VR, or give you a full refund. Whatever you prefer.

At the Gregory of Nin statue, just outside the Golden Gate. Your guide waits there with a red cart carrying the headsets. The tour ends on the Riva waterfront.
