The Experience

We zipped off in this little electric tuk tuk, the kind that hums instead of roars—honestly, I barely noticed we’d left Republic Square until our guide, Marin, pointed out the red arches behind us. He grew up here and kept waving at people he knew. The air smelled faintly salty, mixed with that bakery scent you get on Mediterranean mornings. I tried to snap a photo of Peristyle Square but fumbled my phone—too many cobblestones bumping under us. Marin just grinned and told me not to worry, “You’ll remember it better this way.” Maybe he’s right.

We rolled past Diocletian’s Palace—so much older than it looks in photos—and stopped by the giant statue of Gregory of Nin. People were rubbing his toe for luck (I did too; why not?). Kids were running around shouting in Croatian. The city felt alive but not rushed. When we reached Bacvice Beach, I could hear seagulls and that soft shush of waves on sand—Split’s only sandy beach apparently, which Marin said is rare here. Some locals were already swimming even though it was barely noon; braver than me.

There was a moment up at the panoramic viewpoint where everything just went quiet except for the breeze and distant bells from somewhere in town. I didn’t expect to feel so calm looking out over all those red roofs and islands beyond. On the way back, Marin pointed out a theater from 1893—I forget the name now—and joked about how everyone in Split has seen at least one bad play there as a kid. We laughed about it for longer than you’d think.

What’s included

Your day includes a ride in a 100% electric tuk tuk with a local driver-guide who’ll share stories along the way as you pass historic squares like Peristyle and Republic Square, see Gregory of Nin’s statue up close, stop at Bacvice Beach for some sea air or sand between your toes if you want—and catch panoramic views before looping back through town.
