“Our guide spent too much time talking and not enough sight seeing. We like to get an overview on a tour like this. Some historical facts add to the experience, but too many take away from the opportunity to see the area. Our guide was very knowledgable, but spent too much time standing in one area essentially giving a history lecture, which really limited what we were able to see.”
Visit Trogir and Split with Croatian Trails in about four hours. Guides such as Tina, Sandra, Roko, and Hrvoje lead walks through Roman, medieval, Venetian, and 19th-century sights. Port pickup is included, but the tour ends near Split’s Riva, about a 20-minute walk from the cruise terminal.
“We had the most incredible tour in Split! Tina was an engaged, brilliant and funny tour guide. We learned so much and appreciated her enthusiasm and knowledge. The tour was informative and fun, we loved our time with her. It’s so clear she loves Croatia and is proud to introduce people to her country!”

She talked in depth about the filming experience for the people of Dubrovnik, including some interesting side stories of the cast. Highly recommend this tour.”

Travel privately from Dubrovnik to Mali Ston, where fisherman Mario serves five oysters from his own beds with homemade white wine. Continue to a family winery in Ponikve for five wines and liqueurs, then explore Ston with an English-speaking driver-guide such as Ivo.
“Unique experience to visit Ston meet with Oyster farmers. The oyster samples were pulled directly from the sea and served with the families home made wine on a small fishing boat. It was a quaint little town with lots of history. A great way to spend the afternoon away from the city crowds. On the way back we stopped at a local winery for a tasting and small snack. The driver was informative and very flexible; he tools on a stroll thru the town center with an option for lunch.”
