From SPLIT Cruise Port: Exclusive Tour of Split and Trogir

Discover the Charm of Split and Trogir with an Exclusive Guided Tour

If you’re visiting Dalmatia and looking for a way to see two of Croatia’s most captivating towns in one go, this private tour from Split Cruise Port is a fantastic choice. Without the hustle and bustle of large groups, you’ll enjoy personalized attention, expert guidance, and plenty of time to soak in the sights at your own pace.

We like that this tour offers a combination of history, scenic views, and local insights, all wrapped into a manageable half-day adventure. The expert guide makes the experience engaging and flexible, and the included transfer makes logistics simple. A potential downside? If you’re pressed for time or prefer a more relaxed, leisurely pace, the 5.5-hour window might feel a bit tight.

This tour is ideal for travelers who want a focused, insightful introduction to Split and Trogir—perfect for those with limited time, cruise passengers, or anyone eager to see Croatia’s UNESCO sites with a local touch.

Why This Tour Stands Out

The most striking aspect is the expert guidance. As noted by a recent guest, Daniela was “a wonderful tour guide, both informative and personable.” She tailored the tour to fit the group’s needs, making the experience feel less like a standard run-through and more like a personal adventure. Guests also appreciated that Daniela took photos at various sites, ensuring they left with lasting souvenirs.

Another highlight is the stunning scenery. From the winding streets of Trogir’s medieval core to the waterfront views of Split, the visuals are memorable. According to reviews, the views and the historical sights of UNESCO sites are especially captivating, promising plenty of photo-worthy moments.

The Itinerary: What to Expect

Stop 1: Trogir

The tour kicks off with a brief transfer to Trogir, a small island-town that feels like a step back in time. Known for its well-preserved medieval architecture, Trogir’s UNESCO status since 1997 means it’s a protected treasure trove of history. You’ll enjoy a guided walk through narrow cobblestone streets lined with historic buildings, castles, and a stunning cathedral.

Guests mention that the guided tour of Trogir offers a rundown that balances historical facts with personal stories, making it easier to connect with the place. You’ll have around 2.5 hours here, which is enough to wander independently afterward or simply soak in the ambiance.

Stop 2: Split

Next, you’ll head to Split, home to the famous Diocletian’s Palace. This Roman emperor’s ancient fortress forms the heart of the city, with massive stone walls, underground tunnels, and lively piazzas. The guided tour here is a highlight, allowing you to explore the maze of streets and uncover hidden corners.

Guests like Mia Grace praised Daniela for “taking wonderful photos of our family at various sites,” which adds a personal touch to your visit. After the guided segment, you get approximately 3 hours of free time to explore shops, cafes, or revisit favorite spots.

What Sets This Tour Apart

The personalized approach stands out. Daniela and other guides don’t just recite facts—they create an engaging experience that makes you feel like a local. This is especially appreciated when wandering through Split’s lively markets or Trogir’s quiet alleys.

The inclusion of transfers and pickup simplifies your day. You won’t need to figure out public transport or navigation—just relax and enjoy the ride. The tour’s accessibility, including wheelchair options, ensures more travelers can participate comfortably.
