Same spot, 1,700 years apart
At two points on the tour the headset goes on and the ruins fill back in around you. You keep standing in the real palace while, through the lens, the Roman one rebuilds itself. Roman statues, painted walls, the emperor addressing the crowd.

Why guests call it the best thing they did in Split
How the private cruise tour works
Message us your arrival and departure times, group size, and whether you'd like the VR. We reply with a plan and a price.
With pickup, your guide is waiting when your ship arrives, so there's nothing to find. Prefer to meet in town? That works too.
Through the palace and Old Town, just your group, with the two VR reconstructions along the way. The walk ends on the Riva.
You finish near the ship with your afternoon free for lunch and a wander before all-aboard.
What guests are saying
★★★★★
"The VR scenes at the Golden Gate and Peristyle bring the ancient palace back to life right where you're standing, way more immersive than a regular walking tour. Ana was fantastic. Highly recommend."

"Walking through the old town is already special, but those VR moments take it to another level. A couple of scenes were honestly WOW. Left with a big smile."
