★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 93 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $54Our pick

Walk Šibenik’s old center with Igor, a personable local guide who brings history, architecture, customs, humor, and family stories into focus. Start near the King Kresimir IV monument, wander through the historic core, and finish at St James Cathedral. Port pickup is available on request, and bottled water is included.

“We booked this at the start of our holiday as we wanted to understand the history of Sibenik so we could explore on our own afterwards. It did not disappoint. Igor was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun and entertaining welcoming questions as we went around. It was a very hot evening and he supplied us with water for the tour which was very thoughtful. There were large groups from a cruise liner also touring and Igor made sure we did not just follow them around. We saw areas of the city that we would not have know existed. I would highly recommend this tour with Igor.”
