Port day · SPLIT SHORE EXCURSIONS
The 4 best split shore excursions you can book for a day ashore, with what each costs, how long it runs and how far it goes from the berth. Number one is top for a reason; start there.
This five-hour tour pairs a guided walk through Split’s Diocletian’s Palace with a drive to Trogir, where you get another guided old-town walk and one hour of free time. Guides may include Antonia, Ivan, Jakov, Mario, Marta, or Nina. Pickup and private groups are optional.
“Antonia was an excellent tour guide and her knowledge was outstanding. Really impressed with the tour. Would recommend.”
Spend four to six hours with a private licensed guide-driver such as Andrej, Ivan, Petar, or Silvio, visiting Split’s Diocletian’s Palace and Trogir. The day includes free time, air-conditioned transport, hotel pickup, and optional scenic stops, making it a strong choice for cruise passengers.
“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!”
Travel privately from Split to Krka National Park in an air-conditioned vehicle, walk its waterfall trails for about four hours, then visit Sladic Winery for three wines, local prosciutto, and cheese. English-speaking guides may include Goran or Rocco, though guide assignment can vary.
“Water fall and walk were wonderful. Was not the experience that I was expecting. The picture shows that you can swim in the water by falls and that is not the case. Our guide was not very good. I was not impressed and offended with his raunchy jokes.”
Pick the call, or the kind of day you want out of it.
