The 10 Best City Tours in Split, Dalmatia

December 21, 2021 Deane Carmody

The largest city on the Adriatic Coast, seaside delight Split has been under Roman, Venetian, Austrian, French, Italian and Yugoslav control. There is an abundance of restaurants and wine cellars. Sites such as Diocletian's Palace and Mausoleum, the Grgur Ninski Statue and the Cathedral and Bell Tower of St. Domnius justify its position as a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site. The city's coves offer several lovely beaches, including central Bacvice. Ferries link Split to Dalmatian summer resorts.

Jelena is not only very personable and hospitable, but extremely knowledgeable in so many facets of the region. The tour around Split and Togir was wonderful and I definitely recommend Jelena if you are looking for an amazing guide. We truly enjoyed her company and look forward to seeing her again on future visits.

Our tour with Filip was great! He was really knowledgeable about every aspect of the tour, no question was too much and none was left unanswered. In a hour and a half we knew everything we could have wished about Split. Filip also gave us some suggestions about where to eat like a local and we had a lovely dinner afterwards. Don't hesitate to book this tour: you'll love it!

Gorana knows a lot and she wants to share it all. It was educational and information-dense. The group was small because of corona. The hot weather and Gorana’s rapid Krenglish made it challenging to focus for ninety minutes. But we’re glad we did!

We had a full day in Split on our cruise but our cruise line did not offer a tour of Trogir and Split. We found Croatian Trails and booked a tour and had Tina as our tour guide. Tina met us promptly at the cruise port. We drove to Trogir and she gave us an in depth tour plus time to explore on our own. We then went to Split where we also had a wonderful tour of all the sights. It was so nice having a private guide as opposed to going on a ship's tour with 25 people. It was fantastic. We highly recommend Croatian Trails and if you can get Tina as your tour guide you will not be disappointed!
