    We had a tour with Antony. He is best, quite engaging and made it more memorable like a story and fun, even though that was his 4 or 5 guided tour of the day at 18:30 . To put in one word we loved it, I recommend every to do when you are in split. You can buy tickets directly, at the centre as well.
