The Experience

The tour starts at the North entrance of Diocletian's Palace, where your guide walks you through 90 minutes of Split's old town. You'll stand in the Peristyle Square—the ancient main square of the palace—and descend into the basements, the same stone chambers where Game of Thrones was filmed. The route takes you down the Riva Promenade with views across the water, through the Fruit Square, and past the city hall. A professional guide who speaks English narrates the history as you move through the narrow streets, and the pace lets you absorb the scale of what you're standing in.

After Split, you board an air-conditioned van for the drive to Trogir. The guide leads a walking tour of this smaller UNESCO old town, pointing out the Cathedral of St. Lawrence—one of the most impressive works of architecture in Eastern Europe—and the Kamerlengo Castle, a Venetian fortress overlooking the water. You'll walk past squares and historical monuments, and then you have free time to wander on your own, grab a coffee, or sit by the water before heading back to Split.

The tour operates in all weather, so bring layers or rain gear depending on the season. Children ride free if they sit on an adult's lap; strollers and prams work for infants. Public transportation is nearby if you need an alternative, and the van is comfortable enough that the drive between towns feels like part of the day, not a hassle tacked on.

Top questions

What exactly is the Diocletian's Palace and why is it worth a 90-minute walk?

The Diocletian's Palace is a Roman residence built around 300 AD and now forms the core of Split's old town. The palace is vast enough that streets, shops and homes now sit inside and around its original walls and courtyards, so walking it means moving through layers of history—ancient squares, stone archways, and underground chambers—all still in daily use.

Can I visit the Cathedral of St. Lawrence inside, or just see it from outside?

The Cathedral of St. Lawrence is included in the guided tour of Trogir, and the guide will show you the building and explain its history as you walk past it. Entry to the interior of the cathedral is not included in the tour price.

How much free time do I get in Trogir to explore on my own?

You have free time to wander around Trogir after the guided portion of the town, though the exact length depends on the tour schedule. The guide will let you know when to meet back at the van for the return to Split.

Do I need to book this as a private tour or can I join a group?

You can choose between a private tour for your group or a small group tour where you join other travelers. Both options include the same guide, van transport, and stops; the difference is who else is on the tour with you.

What's included in the price and what do I need to pay for separately?

The tour includes the professional guide, van transport between Split and Trogir, and access to both towns. Food, drinks, and entrance tickets to any monuments or sites you want to visit inside are not included.

Is this tour suitable if I'm not very fit or if I have young children?

The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and infants can sit on an adult's lap or ride in a pram or stroller. Service animals are allowed.
