Hotel drop-off, luggage handling, water, and an English-speaking local driver are included. Book your preferred stop when you reserve.

The Experience
The driver is already waiting when you step out of your hotel in Zadar. He's got the air-conditioned sedan running, your luggage loaded, and a route planned that gets you to Split without the usual transfer fatigue. This isn't a tour bus with fixed stops — it's a private car and a driver who knows the Dalmatian coast well enough to point out what matters and let you decide where to pause. You pick whether you want two one-hour stops or one two-hour stop along the way, and the driver takes you there without the logistics headache of public transport or the cost of renting a car you won't need after Split.
The stops are real choices. Klis Fortress sits high above the coast and takes maybe 45 minutes to walk around if you're not rushing. Trogir is a walled medieval town that fits into an afternoon without feeling crammed. Krka National Park has waterfalls and walking trails, though you'd want the full two hours there. Salona, Primošten, and Šibenik are options too — your driver knows them all and can tell you which one fits your pace. You're not on anyone else's schedule, so if you want to grab lunch at a local spot instead of eating on the road, that's built in. The driver speaks English, carries bottled water, and handles the driving while you actually look at the landscape instead of navigating it.
The vehicle changes with your group size — a sedan for one to three people, an MPV for four, a van if you're traveling with five or more. Luggage is accounted for: a sedan takes three suitcases plus cabin bags, and larger vehicles scale up from there. The driver isn't a professional tour guide, but he's a local who's driven this route enough times to answer questions about what you're seeing and why people stop where they do. The whole transfer from Zadar to Split runs one direction, so you're not paying for a round trip or waiting for a scheduled departure time.
